TIME FOR AMERICA TO HEAL

By TNK's ViSiONiSTA

It’s TIME FOR AMERICA TO HEAL
For we are a UNIQUE COUNTRY
And there were forces that brought this LAND TOGETHER
And MISTAKES were MADE in the PROCESS
And AMERICA’S MADE A LOT OF MISTAKES
For if you look at our YOUTHFUL COUNTRY
We’ve MADE many mistakes in our past 233 years
But the difference is, we’ve shed our tears
And we’re GROWING
Because the mistakes WE’VE Made
We’ve risen from and the RISING is getting FAST
For what we did to the INDIANS
Was because we misunderstood THEIR SPIRITS
For THESE SOULS were WISE
And they were in tune to the FORCES OF NATURE
They knew they were connected to the LAND
Yet we TOOK THEIR LAND
And we killed their bodies
But their souls LIVE ON
And the BEAUTY in the SKY
THE BEAUTY in the TREES
AND the BEAUTY that the BIRDS SING
IS their song
And they LIVE ON
For these people saw TRUE BEAUTY
And we came because we wanted their land
And we fought for it
But they couldn’t fight
For their spirits didn’t allow them to have that sight
For their SOULS were SO SPECIAL
AND They knew that LOVE was IN THE ANIMALS
And they surrounded themselves by NATURE
Because they knew of its HEALING QUALITIES
And this FED THEIR MINDS
And when the “AMERICANS” came to fight
They could NOT FIGHT
For fighting was NOT IN THEM
And the “AMERICANS” “won”
But the PRICE that was PAID
Still GOES ON to this DAY
For the INDIANS are wise
And their message still lives through them
But we haven’t YET LEARNED
That their WISDOM can be OURS
For the AMERICANS have a certain type of power
Yes, we do,
BUT NOW IT’S A MATTER OF LEARNING FROM IT, TOO.
For our POWER was given for a reason
And if we don’t use it right
IT WILL END THIS SEASON
For our power should NOT be based on keeping them LOWER
We NEED TO LIFT THEM UP
We need to HELP our brothers and sisters around the world
For they sit and they stand
And they’ve WAITED FOR US TO OUTREACH OUR HANDS
For they NEED OUR HELP
But THEY NEED ONLY a certain type of POWER
THEY NEED OUR LOVE POWER
For they know we have this POWER
And they LOOK TO US
Because they SEE OUR GOOD SIGHT
And EVEN though we’ve been known to use it wrong
They tend to still hear our song
For they know we have a certain type of power
But it’s still waiting for a different mix
For the power we have is BUSINESS POWER
But if you have a business without a HEART
I swear, IT WILL FALL APART
For we have a vision
And we definitely have SOME SKILLS
But right now we’re weak
Because we haven’t learned YET how to YIELD
For what we’ve been given
We've known we’ve been given for a REASON
But our reasoning has not brought us hope
BECAUSE LOVE was missing from this DOPE
For a BUSINESS is only as strong as a LEADER’S VISION
And if the LEADER SEEKS to build his EMPIRE,
He MUST SEEK TO BUILD HIS PEOPLE HIRER.
For the VISION of a BUSINESS
Is ONLY AS STRONG AS THE LEADER
And the LEADER without a HEART
Will HAVE A BODY
THAT will surely FALL APART
For what I’ve write, I’ve seen,
For what I’ve SEEN, I’ve FELT,
And I’ve THOUGHT HOW IN THE WORLD CAN I HELP?
For my message is as only as strong as the MESSENGERS
And I SAY
YOU CAN TEACH
For we are a people of a country that STANDS FOR FREEDOM
And we’re NOT PERFECT
BUT OUR VISION of what we STAND FOR
IS LIBERTY
And FREEDOM
FREEs the SOULS
FOR THE SOULS MUST BE FREE IF THEY’RE GOING TO SEE
For what we SEE NOW
They can’t SEE YET
For they’re waiting for our HELP
And we’re TOO BUSY worrying about helping our own EGOS
And we’ve FORGOTTEN about theirs
For the souls are crying
And their words are dying
And the POWER that AMERICA was GRANTED
Could just END
Like it STARTED
In the BLINK of an EYE
For we are the YOUNG COUNTRY
And just like the YOUTH
We have a certain type of POWER
But if we MISUSE it like we have
We’ll definitely, ultimately, LOSE IT.
For when we FOCUS on our OURSELVES
We LOSE THEM
And since we’ve FORGOTTEN
We’ve BECOME cut OFF from them
For they have a POWER, TOO
And we actually NEED THEIR FORCE if our country really wants to HEAL
For we’ve been GIVEN MUCH POWER
And as of the record we haven’t LEARNED
HOW TO USE THIS POWER
So the countries around us are becoming SOUR
And the SOULS WHO ARE SCREAMING for our HELP
Are DYING
And WE TOO ARE BLEEDING
For we’re searching for the HAPPINESS
That they have found in the SIMPLE THINGS
We NEED TO HELP THEM
SO THEY CAN HELP US
For if we HEAL THEM
They will HEAL US
For as their SOULS SCREAM
WE BLEED
For I SEE IT IN OUR EYES
We know we are CONNECTED to these GREATER THINGS
And Americans should WAKE
For much is at STAKE
For THEIR BODIES are STARVING
And their Minds are WEAK
BUT THEY have SOULS that STILL SPEAK
For they SPEAK TO US
But we’ve REFUSED TO LISTEN
And we should take a CLUE
When we’re the COUNTRY that has EVERYTHING
Yet we FEEL LIKE WE HAVE NOTHING
For we’ve FED OUR EGOS
And we’ve forgotten to FEED OUR HEARTS
For WE SHOULD CARE
For they ARE CONNECTED TO OUR SOULS
And if WE TEACH THEM
THEY WILL TEACH US
For the PUZZLE is there
And the PIECES ARE SCATTERED
But we’re BLIND
And we can’t see the LIGHT
So the pieces are LOST IN TIME
And we REFUSE TO SEE
THAT WE ARE CONNECTED TO THIS UNITY
For MY PEOPLE ARE REALLY THEIR PEOPLE
And THEIR people are really MY people
For we are ONE PEOPLE
ONE HEART
And the EARTH IS BLEEDING
Because our ENERGY is CREATING THIS CHAOS
And we refuse to listen
BECAUSE we’ve CUT OFF OUR SOUL POWER
And OUR SOUL POWER
Is the POWER that brought us here
And we’ve refused to LISTEN TO THE SIGNS
And we’re ruining MAN’S TIME
For we should LOVE
For the WAY IS LOVE
LOVE IS THE WAY
AND WE MUST LOVE OUR COUNTRY
If we’re going to HELP THEM SEE
THIS NEW VICTORY
For the HAND YOU CUT OFF
You CANNOT FEED
It’s DISCONNECTED FROM THE BODY
But the hand that bleeds,
That YOU HELP
Can HEAL
And become part of the body once again
For if you care about the WORLD
You MUST TEACH YOUR COUNTRY
And we can ONLY REACH OUR COUNTRY
IF we dare to TEACH
But we can’t JUST TEACH
We MUST TEACH IN LOVE
For this is the ONLY FORCE that comes from ABOVE
And if we really want to HELP
WE MUST BREAK this WORLD HATE FELT
We must FIRST LOVE OUR COUNTRY
LOVE OUR PEOPLE
Because when we LOVE
THEY LISTEN
And when they listen
WE TEACH.
For FORCE is WEAK
BUT POWER IS STRONG
IF it’s the LOVE POWER SONG
For we can’t teach OUR COUNTRY TO LOVE THE WORLD,
If we DON’T LOVE OUR COUNTRY
We’ll NEVER REACH THEM if we don’t teach them through our love
For we cannot LOVE THE WORLD
AND HATE OUR COUNTRY
For that would be NONSENSE
And it’s not how we SHOULD DO OUR BUSINESS
For we do have a LOVE MISSION
And if we’re going to REACH the WORLD
We must TEACH OUR COUNTRY FIRST
For if we teach they’ll LISTEN
But we must TEACH IN LOVE
For LOVE IS THE ONLY FORCE THAT COMES FROM ABOVE
You cannot FEED THE WORLD
If you don’t FEED your country, too
For America has a power
And we’re AWARE of OUR POWER
But THE WORLD HAS A POWER, TOO
And if we SHARE OUR POWER
We’re going to heal the souls from both worlds
For we ALL NEED EACH OTHER
We ALL ARE CONNECTED
And the pain you FEEL HERE
Is because YOUR BROTHER IS BLEEDING THERE
And we REFUSE TO HEAR
WE ARE ALL CONNECTED
So the pain you have felt
I’ve felt it, too
And I know what it’s like feeling blue
But we think the problem is isolated to us
But the problem is the ISOLATION our country has gone through
For the WORLD NEEDS HEALING
And our country needs healing, too
For we HAVE ALL MISUNDERSTOOD EACH OTHER
And when we dare to take down our swords
We’ll begin to see that we all connected ETERNALLY
For we need to STAND
If dare to LEND OUR HAND
But FIRST we must learn to see,
That BEAUTY IN OUR OWN COUNTRY
For it’s GOOD AND BAD
For nothing is really BLACK AND WHITE
And what WE CAN DO
Is CHOOSE TO HAVE THE GOOD SIGHT
For what we SEE
WE BRING OUT
And our minds are PLAYING TRICKS on us
Because we CHOOSE TO SEE ONLY ONE SIDE
For the world, politics and religion-
NOTHING IS BLACK AND WHITE
And the GREY scares some of us
For we’re afraid we’ll lose our sight
Of What’s GOOD.
But let me tell you about this MISSION
For we can SEE,
But You must SEE THROUGH YOURSELF
For if you LOVE
YOU will LEARN THE TRUTH
THAT CAN BE FELT
For the KEY IS LOVE
IF we WISH TO HAVE OUR SIGHT
We MUST LOVE
We MUST FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT
For LOVE is the EYE-OPENING POWER
And WHEN the way was said to be LOVE
It really was meant to be that SIMPLE
But we’ve taken our EGOS and we’ve added our ten cents
But the MIND can BE REVIVED
IF we dare to FEED IT LOVE
LOVE is the power WE NEED
TO HAVE A WORLDWIDE VICTORY
For I know, THIS VISION IS GRAND
It’s running through my hands
And I’ve been scared to speak
But your words spoke to MINE
And THE TRUTH IS STARTING TO LEAK
And the FUTURE that looks BLEAK
Doesn’t have to be
But we MUST GO IN LOVE
IF WE WISH TO CREATE SUCH UNITY
For America has a very UNIQUE POWER
We’ve GOT THE BUSINESS POWER
But we tend to MISUSE IT
And we’re about to LOSE IT
But TIME is on our SIDE
IF THE YOUTH DARE TO LISTEN
We can START THIS NEW MISSION
For OUR STRENGTH
Can be sewn in the COUNTRY
That has stood for the GOOD AND THE BAD
For black and white,
WE’RE NOT.
For the Souls of AMERICA are AWAKENING
And we’re DARING OTHERS TO SEE
That they too can AWAKEN
For our VISION CAN BE GRAND
We can put it on the GRAND SCALE
But time cannot rewind
But our HANDS CAN PREVAIL
For if we TOUCH
We must touch to HEAL
We must touch OUR COUNTRY
So the BLINDESS WILL SPILL
For we NEED TO STAND
Because we’ve STOOD FOR GOOD
And we’re fighting to find a way to help this spinning world
For it’s spinning FAST
But we can SPIN FASTER
And we’re going to grab this blindness from our COUNTRY
For our country can HELP with many things
For we TEND TO HAVE MANY TALENTS
But we’ve focused on our EGOS
And we’ve forgotten about the FREE WILLYS
And we’re creating a negative force
If we don’t change our course
And the COURSE can CHANGE if we CARE
But we MUST SPEAK with CARE
And SHOW THESE SOULS HOW TO LOVE
For if we teach them HOW TO LOVE
They will begin to LOVE THE WORLD
And we NEED to TEACH LOVE IN THIS WORLD
For what WE PREACH
They will preach
And if we hate OUR COUNTRY
THEY WILL ONLY LEARN TO HATE
We must LOVE OUR COUTRY
IF WE WANT THEM TO SEE
That there is a better VICTORY
For the souls are bleeding EVERYWHERE
And because we’re DISCONNECTED
The BODY IS BLEEDING
So we must pull the body parts BACK TOGETHER
We must sow the stitches
For the BODY IS THIS WORLD
And the WORLD IS falling apart
Hence OUR BODIES ARE FALLING PART
And the SKY is falling down
And the birds are flying low
And the smoke is killing the air
And the problem is creating a stir
For the EARTH is SHIFTING
And it’s shifting because of us
We’re the shifting power that has created the shift
And our chaos has become the EARTH’S CHAOS
For the EARTH is CONNECTED TO US
And when we drive our swords into our brothers
We drive our swords into the earth
For it is ALL ONE
And ONE IS ALL
And the CONNECTION IS THE FORCE
That is CREATING ALL OUR FALLS
For we’re falling
And we’re rolling
And the WORLD IS BLEEDING
For the SOULS ARE DISCONNECTED
And our CONNECTION IS WEAK
So we refuse to SPEAK
But we should CONNECT
And we CAN CONNECT
But we must CONNECT TOGETHER
IN THE FORCE OF LOVE POWER
For this is the only power that can SHIFT MANKIND
And I’m asking you to SEE
What I've dared to WRITE
For this KNOWLEDGE can be our POWER
But it NEEDS TO BE LOVE POWER
For if we fuel a fire of HATE
We will breed HATE
And the WORLD WILL REMAIN SOUR
But SWEETNESS can BE OUR SAVOR
But we must choose LOVE
For LOVE IS THE MAN-MOVING POWER
And it can be the WORLD-MOVING POWER
If we dare to SPEAK IN LOVE
For it’s always been about LOVE
And those who have LIVED
And GIVEN SO MUCH
Their underlying message was to LOVE
So if we are to REACH OUR COUNTRY
We MUST TEACH OUR COUNTRY
And in order for us to get THEIR ATTENTION
We must TOUCH THEIR HEARTS
For they TOO have A SOUL
And their SOUL IS CONNECTED TO OUR SOUL
And we must LISTEN
TO understand their side of the story
And even if it’s WRONG,
EVEN if it’s just THEIR PERCEPTION
We MUST LISTEN
For IF we LISTEN TO THEM
THEY WILL LISTEN TO US
And when TRUTH HITS THEIR HEART
The game will be UP
For TRUTH IS TRUTH
AND TRUTH IS LOVE
And we MUST connect to the force that comes from ABOVE
For WHAT I write
Is only A SIGHT NOW
But it can be our MISSION
Because we NEED TO TEACH LOVE
And we NEED TO HEAL THIS WORLD
But if we are to HEAL the WORLD
We must REACH OUR COUNTRY
For OUR country has it’s OWN GIFTS
Like EACH COUNTRY HAS
But when we STAND ALONE
WE FALL
And WHEN WE STAND TOGETHER
The victory becomes a NEW REALITY
THE WORLDS NEEDS TO STAND TOGETHER
For we NEED To HELP OUR BROTHERS
They are bleeding and dying
And they still FOLLOW US ON THE NEWS
Because they truly believe we are THE PEOPLE
SENT TO BRING THEM THEIR VICTORY
But we can’t drop bombs on the WORLD
For if we DO
We’re FEEDING THE HATE
And WE HAVE TO FEED THE LOVE
LOVE IS THE POWER
POWER CAN BE LOVE
WE NEED TO TEACH THESE SOULS
For we need to HEAL THE WORLD
But FIRST we must TAP into our SOUL POWER
That SOURCE IS LOVE
NOTHING ELSE BUT THAT
COMES FROM ABOVE
And we need to TEACH WHAT WE PREACH
AND WE NEED TO PREACH WHAT WE TEACH
For the FOUNDATION CAN STAND
And we should DARE TO RAISE OUR HANDS
For if WE SPEAK IN LOVE
The forces we’ll align with,
Will give us OUR SOUL POWER
We must SPEAK IN LOVE
WE must TEACH OUR COUNTRY TO LOVE
IF WE WANT OUR COUNTRY TO LOVE THE WORLD
We must LOVE OUR COUNTRY
IF WE WISH TO TEACH IT
For WE have been GOOD AND BAD
RIGHT and WRONG
And we know the world is NO LONGER BLACK & WHITE
So if we CHOOSE TO SEE THE COLOR
We must SEEK TO DO IT IN LOVE
FOR COLOR IS GRAND
And it’s TIME MAN STANDS
FOR MANKIND NEEDS us TO GIVE THEM A HAND
We NEED TO BRING THEM OUR LIBERTY.
