Let us create ripples on the shore
That will vibrate out to sea
Cascade across the ocean floor to heal
The damage we have inflicted
Let us create ripples on the land
Reclamation of things we allowed to be poisoned
In our name without our knowledge
But now we know let us fight
For the freedom of the earth
Let us create spaces and places
Where the children can play
We need to be heard as a collective
The ones who think and care
Come let us fight for our children
The children of the future need love
Cages break or cause hatred and war
So let us cause ripples on the shore
On the land, in air, in the press
Ripples that become the new norm
That demand equality for all
Whether you’re black or white
Gay, straight, sure or unsure
Whatever your god or gods
For your own sake and others
Let us create ripples and remember
To use humanity and caring for all.
Let us create ripples that create waves
That wash on shores, bang down doors
And it’s no longer a world of us and them
But we’re united as a people who crave
Love. No bars. Love. No barrier. Love
Full stop
