At the Same Time (Live 2000)

[Intro]

There's an ancient saying that

When a dove flaps its wings in China

The wind currents shift for thousands of miles across mountains and seas

It’s just a poetic way of saying that

Everything we do has a ripple effect

And that we're all interconnected

And have a responsibility to look out for one another

And future generations

Don't we?

Yeah

Think about it

[Verse 1]

Think of all the hearts beating in the world

At the same time

Think of all the faces and the stories they could tell

At thе same time

Think of all the еyes looking out into this world

Trying to make some sense of what we see

Think of all the ways we have of seeing

Think of all the ways there are of being

[Verse 2]

Think of all the children being born into this world

At the same time (At the same time)

Feel your love surround them, through the years they’ll need to grow

At the same time (At the same time)

Just think of all the hands that will be reaching for a dream

Think of all the dreams that could come true

Yes, if the hands we're reaching with

Could come together joining me and you

[Bridge]

When it comes to thinking of tomorrow

We must protect our fragile destiny

In this precious life there's no time to borrow

The time has come to be a family

[Verse 3]

Oh, think of all the love pouring from our hearts

At the same time (At the same time)

Yes, think of all the light our love can shine around this world

At the same time (The same time)

Just think what we've been given and just think what we could lose

All of life is in our trembling hands

It's time to overcome our fears

And join to build a world that loves and understands

It helps to think of all the hearts beating in the world

And hope for all the hearts beating in the world

There's a healing music in our hearts beating in this world

At the same time

At the same time

[Outro]

Ooh, that was pretty, yeah

Pretty, yeah

Good words
