I am open and I am willing
For to be hopeless would seem so strange
It dishonors those who go before us
So lift me up to the light of change
There is hurting my family
There is sorrow in my town
There is panic all across the nation
There is wailing the whole world round
May the children see more clearly
May the elders be more wise
May the winds of change caress us
Even though it burns our eyes
Give me a mighty oak to hold my confusion
Give me a desert to hold my fears
Give me a sunset to hold my wonder
Give me an ocean to hold my tears
