Horizontal Ascension - What Do We Do Now

In this song, we confront the quasi running theme of “someone else being in control of our lives.”
Corporate greed, global warming, economic depression, war – with all the scales tipped towards an all-out assault on humanity, only human ingenuity, courage, and compassion can shine a light in this otherwise dark and hopeless world.
Call everyone ‘sister and brother!’

is this a hallway? is this a room?
is this the endless vortex of doom?
only fear in their eyes – no direction
another media spin skews the perception
we’ve got to reach out to one, and then to another
call everyone ‘sister and brother’
can we stir up some hope for just one single child?
stop the madness long enough to get a single smile
claw our way through the piles of debris
hold on to each other and set this planet free
there still are millions longing for peace and love
compassion can still be the champion – there’s time enough
we can save the children – create a brighter day
embracing the light – we’ve got to find a way
in a world where insanity reigns
only our collective soul can stop the rain
we’ve got to reach out to one, then to another
call everyone ‘sister and brother
