Our civilisation is at a turning point. Climate change and biodiversity loss are accelerating towards a point of no return, but there is still hope. We know what we need to do to shift the tide and although we haven’t yet mustered the collective will to change our systems, reconnect with nature and step towards an existence in balance with our planet, it’s not the end. Not yet. We share a dream of a better world and it is time now to open our eyes and our hearts, to turn towards one another and embrace that dream.
We share a dream
You know it too my friend
There’s light beyond our common fear
This is not the end
We share a dream
A city full of trees
Ice building on the mountain peaks
Birdsong on the breeze
Farms full of life
And soil rich as gold
The wealth we stand to gain if we
Let nature take a hold
Power in our hands
And constantly renewed
Sun, wind and raging river will
Light this world anew
We share a dream
You know it too my friend
There’s light beyond our common fear
This is not the end
There is a fire
Inside you too my friend
The common thread of our desire
A flame that will transcend
This skin and bone
This moment held
This turning point
From which we tell
A tale of peace with every voice
Regenerate with every choice
Unleash the change in every soul
Take up the threads and make this whole
Unravelled world a tapestry
The beauty you were made to be
The beauty of the grass, the tree
The birds in flight, the honey bee
Each ecosystem like each heart
Beat out this rhythm from the start
And so it will again my friend
We have a dream
It’s not the end
We have a dream
And we can make it true
The answers are all known to us
We know what we must do
This is the time
To find the dream again
Let compassion rise inside us
And with that power exclaim
We are the world
We shall not sit and burn
Each precious conscious being
It is time to take our turn
This skin and bone
This moment held
This turning point
From which we yell
A chant of peace with every voice
Rebuild this world with every choice
Unleash the change in every soul
Take up the threads and make this whole
Miraculous unfolding dream
The purpose of your every scheme
Reality is yours to choose
If all are one we cannot lose
Each human being like each heart
Beat out this rhythm from the start
And so it will again my friend
We have a dream
It’s not the end
We will live in a world remade
Your dream and mine will never fade
The best of us will soon be seen
Because you and I
We share a dream.
