Bring Out the Sun Light
Bring out the sun light
Dispel the dark
Clear out the clouds
Bring out the sky
Expulse the shadows
Inside your mind
Bring out the goodness
inside your heart
(Chorus)
There’s no reason to be sad
If you open up your mind
There’s no reason to be mad
if you open up your heart
Look out beyond yourself
Discern the land
Reach out to other selves
Embrace the world
(Chorus)
The earth is only one
Our only home
Let’s share the planet
Among us all
(Chorus)
I renounce all rhetoric
Of division and discord
Contention and hatred
I renounce all discourse
Of prejudice and perjury
I embrace peace, love, kindness
For all living beings human and non-human
All creatures our brothers and sisters
The earth our mother
The earth our mother
The earth our mother
There’s no reason to be sad
If you open up your mind
There’s no reason to be mad
if you open up your heart
