Earth and Breath

Spent years, trying to write this song
Working with words, but they kept coming out all wrong.
The verse was vague, but the message was clear.

Been thinking about the things I think about
always trying to figure things out
Like who knows? and what if? and why not?
and why on Earth am I here?
You see, I refuse to believe I'm just an accident,
some random combination of the elements.
No. I choose to believe that I was born with a particular design in mind,
There's a purpose for me I was meant to be.

‘Cause I’m made of Earth and the breath of God.

Hear the talking heads on the squawk box
Fleecing the flock with shock waves of fear,
Blocking the truth so the people can’t hear
Locking us in and out and sayin’ we can’t go here or there.

They’re telling us we can’t breathe fresh air!
They’re saying we gotta do what they say or to beware
They say it’s for our health, but I don’t think that they really care
Because they’re making us sicker!
People, please be aware!

They’re telling me I can’t be free to participate in society.
Who are they to try take away my Sovereignty?
Nobody has that power over me!

Cause I’m made of Earth and the Breath of God.

Somebody tell me the reason why
so many are willing to believe in the lies.
Tell me why do we give our power away?
Haven’t we learned anything from yesterday?

What’s it gonna take to see
We were created in the image of divinity?
God in the flesh from dust to dust
and into eternity.

This is why I Am meant to be,
to share the songs of Liberty.
To help to set the captives free
by singing ‘bout Peace and Love and Harmony.

As you and I are one, so may we all be,
We’re made of Earth and the breath of God.
As you and I are one so may we all be,
Made of Earth and the breath of God.

‘Cause I'm made of Earth and the breath of God.
