Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][G][F]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Yes, I'm talking about a non-
violent revolution of consciousness
A [G]consciousness that
is able to understand
How we're all [F]inextricably connected
to each other on this Earth
And to the Earth itself
And that if we violate [Am]those fundamental principles,
we do so [G]at our own peril
[F]Yes, we can continue to live in this delusion
and the [G]denials [F]of reality
Be[Dm]cause it's painful,
[Am]it's frightening
[G]Sometimes, it's terrifying
[F]It's terrifying to [Am]face the truth
So I ask each of you to search
your [G]hearts
As to what your truth is
[F]For being a citizen of the Earth
Promoting justice as a
foundation for peace
[G]It's not going to happen
[Am]magically[G]
It's not going to happen by relying on
these political structures [F]and institutions[G]
[Am]I think we're going to have to wage
[G]peace in the most extraordinary ways
[F]Whether our government
wants it or not
Without a non- violent revolution
of consciousness
[G]We will not sur[Am]vive as
a civilization or as a [G]planet
We can choose to have peace if
we want to pay [F]the price
And what more glorious goal
than peace for [G]all [Am]people?
To build a new society,
[G]a society that understands
That we [F]are not worth more, and
they are not worth [G]less[Am]
And that we will be willing to pay the
[G]price and take [F]the risks
To wage peace [G]with all [Am]fellow
