(Chorus)
Beyond your story
Beyond all your pain
There’s a gift that is waiting
Let it not be in vain
Beyond all you’ve been through
You can carve a new way
And this story I’m writing
Could be ours someday
-
If we all could start caring
If all could stand strong
Make a choice for our planet
To do her no wrong
In the way that we choose
Keeping our footsteps light
To know our own worth
To care what is right
To honour all others
To preserve natural beauty
The future could offer
Such glorious bounty
(Chorus)
In my mind there’s an ideal
That is worth reaching for
I pray we all have the vision
To nurture what’s pure
To know the essence untainted
Deserves’s our protection
And it’s worth every effort
To show we’ve learned this lesson
It is time to embrace
The new day being born
To let go of the programme
These old stories we have worn
(Chorus)
Let’s make care our value
Hold true on each account
Think planet before profit
Before any amount
Think future for our children
And their children too
Humble to learn from indigenous people
They’re the ones who could guide us through
Thank life for all beings
Let harmlessness ring true
With honour to creation
For the light that shines in you
