One dialect, dialect, that of love
not the head but the heart.
one dialect, dialect, that of love
what we've known from the start.

Is the life we're advertised worth creating
or just a way to box us up and keep us from saying
this gift here we're given is not guaranteed
and anything can happen in this age of speed.

Caught up in it all we lose our touch
no longer have the energy to give so much
somehow we're told the better we'll be
if we lose our happiness and our sanity.

We read to regurgitate what we've been told
as we memorize this nothingness lose lessons of old
forget how to feel, how to hold, how to touch
how to stand up for this life that we value so much.

Instead we look for guidance in all the wrong places
how to keep those wrinkles from bombarding our faces since
when did we decide we should all be the same
and those who aren't are wrong and should be called so many names.

Oh how did we get here and should we go back
or keep moving on with everything out of whack
one thing's for certain we don't have all the answers
no longer seek truth or respect our ancestors.

Leaving the fate of the world to a group of heartless men
when deep down we all know that we hold it in our hands
I'm tired of all the suffering exhausted by their lies
frustrated by our complacency and the silence of our cries.

How long will we wait to wake up and take a stand
as we watch and complain while they defeat our fellow man
sometimes we forget through all the struggle and strife
that in the end all we need to know in this life is . . .

One dialect, dialect, that of love
not the head but the heart
one dialect, dialect, that of love
what we’ve known from the start.

Sacred is what comes to mind
what i'm trying to bring back
to this place and time
work all the dimensions
pay all my respects.
