Elephant Perpectives

A - Verse in 4/4
A Snake, a wall, a tree; a fan, a rope, a sword?
What is this thing we see, a new visual explored?
When all we See is what we’ve known; all that we care to own
Decisions do get made that this world cannot afford

B - Chorus 6/8 waltz
Could we all just admit that we each have a part
Of this whole we call truth, that would be a good start
Each one of us sees things others just can’t seem to get
And we all need to learn, we don’t know everything yet

A - Verse 4/4
There’s the Smell, the touch, the taste; the things that get ignored?
The eMotions that we face, the “absolutes” that cause discord?
There is More to reality than the little that we see,
Please open up to other views, so harmony can be restored

A - Spoken 4/4 - Vamp
What if our decisions were made wise with intuition?
Imagine the Impact of those decisions on the next generation
Helping each other to heal the world
Each choice for growth preventing destruction

B - Chorus 6/8 waltz
Could we all just admit that we each have a part
Of this whole we call truth, that would be a good start
Each one of us sees things others just can’t seem to get
And we all need to learn, we don’t know everything yet

C - Bridge 6/8 Korean drum rhythm
What if we could see possibilities for new allies
In people that get thrown away past our eyes, In this
Existence of joy, confusion, fear and life
With allies, we can make a future that flies.

B w/ Tag - Modified Chorus 6/8 waltz
Come let us listen to each other’s hearts
Let go of assumptions that keep us apart
In this world of commercials, microwaves and soundbites
Let’s make time to listen …………
and respect each others rights

B w/o Tag - Chorus 6/8 waltz
Could we all just admit that we each have a part
Of this whole we call truth, that would be a good start
Each one of us sees things others just can’t seem to get
And we all need to learn, we don’t know everything yet
