We Are Good

Early morning, rising with the sun
Resting where the sky meets the earth
Feeling the first rays of sunlight reaching into my soul
Where they reinstate the sense of my own self-worth

If you're not good, you're bad
That's far too black and white
Behold the glorious sun in all its radiance bright
It too at times is obscured by the thick blue veil of night
Still the moon and all the stars combine to reflect it's light.

And so it is that we are good
Though we do not always do as we should
We lose track of right and wrong
And we're not always standing strong
But still don't you wanna believe
In things that eyes do not perceive
Like our light shining from within
That in a battle with our darkness can win

The gates of heaven open up before me
As my heart is given wings and flies
Leaving all pretense behind, everything is crystal clear
Even the worry of uncertainty subsides

They say that time will come for us to be reborn
Into the newness of unity that has been torn
Into duality, into it's us against them
It's from a place of fear that all our conflicts stem

We're almost there, but not yet, still the stage is set
For the play we may enact according to our contract
That we may both you and I, with everybody in our home up high
To awaken from our deep and long undisturbed though hardly peaceful sleep

If to look is to know the grace, which you bestow
Upon those that you would raise into a kind and loving gaze
Then to look is to see everyone as good as they can be
