(A Beautiful Revolution) Intro

[Spoken Word: Jessica Care Moore]

Ain't it beautiful?

When we smile, it's a musical

An act of revolution and the stage is a human one

Some people spend their lives wearing the costume

When the script is Sanskrit in the palms of our worship

The same hands we go to work with

The same hands we go to work with, put the real work in

Meditation and stillness so your focus is the realest

Screaming from the outskirts when your voice is the clearest

Wishing for answers inside of elections

When justice was just born right inside your reflection

Here we stand, survivors of holocausts

Oceans of bodies, bound and lost

Our dreams swam across

Found the will to still live at all costs

The true mastery itself, honoring tears

Loving the mirror beyond your greatest fears

A small army traveling beneath your skin

Walking alone if you need to, the revolution's within

Our bodies birth sons wrapped around Earth's axis

Spinning the way people do when change is necessary action

Our ancestors saw us in the future

Imperfect perfect beams of light

A sacred prophecy of what's possible, be still, and still the night

We are centuries of grace

The internal uprising, the creation of race

The spiritual warfare is the one you can win

An army of angels begin where we end

We beautiful broken, warrior ready in soulhood

The wish and the wish you would

The daughter of drum spangled banners

We are the tearing down, are falling together

Our cosmos, our stars, a subtle peace

Ain't it a miracle to simply feel safe?
