I heard gentle speak, I've seen gentle laugh
I ask myself, can I meet the balance?
As the sea meets up with the shore,
Can I face all of my fears?
Can I hold myself back when I shouldn't rush?
Can I calm myself when I want to push?
There is a parting, there is an opening.
Let's slide our way through the gap.
Knowing it can happen helps our dreams meet reality.
Let's make the jump and not look back.
Will waters flow where the earth is now so dry?
Will love flow where so much anger's pushed it back?
Will the hungry soon get their daily meals?
Will the hunted make it before extinction drags them down?
There is a parting, there is an opening.
Let's slide our way through the gap.
Knowing it can happen puts it closer to reality.
Let's make the jump and not look back.
