Inner Life Rising

No candle under a bushel
No buried head in the sand
The earth is waking her children
Consequence ruling the land

No need to read revelations
No need for prophets of doom
Earthquakes remaking creation
Tenderness conquering soon
Conquering soon

Doomsayers say it’s the end
But this time they’re wrong
Hearts and shadows are darkest
Just before the dawn

No ancient mysteries unfolding
No fortunes left to be read
A new kind of high wind is blowing
Ignorance finally dead

No magic tricks in the making
No angels down from above
The powerful oceans awaking
And everywhere kindness and love
Kindness and love

The warlords are ready to fight
And nations are torn
Pangs for the earth and for mothers
Moments before they’re born

No tired ears that are hearing
No blood shot eyes that can see
But minds and the hurricanes clearing
And rulers all fall to their knees

Schools and the churches are tumbling
Hypocrisy passes away
All of the outer world crumbling
And inner life rising to stay
Rising to stay
