Yes, I'm talking about a non-violent revolution of consciousness
A consciousness that is able to understand
How we’re all inextricably connected to each other on this Earth
And to the Earth itself
And that if we violate those fundamental principles, we do so at our own peril

Yes, we can continue to live in this delusion and the denials of reality
Because it’s painful, it’s frightening
Sometimes, it’s terrifying
It's terrifying to face the truth

So I ask each of you to search your hearts
As to what your truth is
For being a citizen of the Earth
Promoting justice as a foundation for peace
It’s not going to happen magically
It’s not going to happen by relying on these political structures and institutions

I think we’re going to have to wage peace in the most extraordinary ways
Whether our government wants it or not
Without a non-violent revolution of consciousness
We will not survive as a civilization or as a planet
We can choose to have peace if we want to pay the price

And what more glorious goal than peace for all people?
To build a new society, a society that understands
That we are not worth more, and they are not worth less
And that we will be willing to pay the price and take the risks
To wage peace with all fellow and sister human beings
