[Verse]
Gasoline was three nineteen.
Tuesday was a bust.
Pretty folk were turning backs.
Your car was showing rust.
[Verse]
The news was full of all the blues.
A rainstorm thundered by.
Wicked people roamed the streets.
Pollution soaked the sky.
[Chorus]
But Better You just watched it,
Slowly took it in.
Better You absorbed it
And broke into a grin.
Knowing, flowing, growing,
Better You stood tall,
Apart from all the chaos,
But one with one and all.
[Verse]
A hero’s pace still lost her race.
A champion lost his fight.
The traffic was unending,
Backed up from all the lights.
[Verse]
Mighty banks produced more tanks,
And wars continued on
With leaders pulling purse strings,
And people made their pawns.
[Chorus]
But Better You just watched it,
Slowly took it in.
Better You absorbed it
And broke into a grin.
Knowing, flowing, growing,
Better You stood tall,
Apart from all the chaos,
But one with one and all.
[Bridge]
We are all the children of the light.
Stumbling down the pathway in the night.
Learning, living, doing till we get it right.
We are all the children of the light.
[Verse]
The sun ascends from darkness,
And lights up all the Earth.
Lovers dance through moonlight.
A mother gives us birth.
[Verse]
The system’s finally over.
The old guard falls at last.
We celebrate together
With growth from all our past.
[Chorus]
And Better You just watches,
Slowly takes it in.
Better You absorbs it
And breaks into a grin.
Knowing, flowing, growing,
Better You stands tall,
Departing from the chaos,
And one with one and all.
[Outro]
Departing from the chaos,
And one with one and all.
Gasoline was three nineteen.
Tuesday was a bust.
Pretty folk were turning backs.
Your car was showing rust.
[Verse]
The news was full of all the blues.
A rainstorm thundered by.
Wicked people roamed the streets.
Pollution soaked the sky.
[Chorus]
But Better You just watched it,
Slowly took it in.
Better You absorbed it
And broke into a grin.
Knowing, flowing, growing,
Better You stood tall,
Apart from all the chaos,
But one with one and all.
[Verse]
A hero’s pace still lost her race.
A champion lost his fight.
The traffic was unending,
Backed up from all the lights.
[Verse]
Mighty banks produced more tanks,
And wars continued on
With leaders pulling purse strings,
And people made their pawns.
[Chorus]
But Better You just watched it,
Slowly took it in.
Better You absorbed it
And broke into a grin.
Knowing, flowing, growing,
Better You stood tall,
Apart from all the chaos,
But one with one and all.
[Bridge]
We are all the children of the light.
Stumbling down the pathway in the night.
Learning, living, doing till we get it right.
We are all the children of the light.

The sun ascends from darkness,
And lights up all the Earth.
Lovers dance through moonlight.
A mother gives us birth.
[Verse]

[Chorus]
And Better You just watches,

And breaks into a grin.
Knowing, flowing, growing,
Better You stands tall,
Departing from the chaos,
And one with one and all.
[Outro]
Departing from the chaos,
And one with one and all.
