Live From the Heart

"I have a dream", so simply he said,

and by it inspired the people he led.

He called for equality and true freedom to start

and to learn to live from the heart.

So, unclench your fist and open your hand;

reach out in love, try to understand.

It's only our fear that keeps us apart

until we live from the heart.

It's the season for peace, the time is now,

time to love and live the dream.

It's the season to grow, the time to know

that life is, hope is, joy is, peace is, all is love.

A symbol of strength in India was born

with faith of the spirit and truth that we're one.

In ways of nonviolence he echoed the art

of learning to live from the heart.

So, close your eyes, see the word at peace,

and in every moment choose harmony.

Believe in truth and let love do its part

and you will live from the heart.

It's the season for peace, the time is now,

time to love and live the dream.

Dare to give and grow and you will know

that as one, each one is whole and free,

and love from within is the reason to start

to be open to hope and believe in your heart.

It's the season for peace, the time is now,

time to love and live the dream.

It's the season to grow, the time to know

that life is, hope is, joy is, peace is, all is love.

Know that life is, hope is, joy is, peace is ...

all is love.
