As the hustle of a day gives way
To subtle strains of eventide
And as the mind lists to meander
'long paths of future and through past
Is it happiness and loving
Fills the spirit's everquest
Or fear and loathing welling up
Which inflame the human breast
Ever seeking truth and meaning
Through mortality wayfaring
Do we strive to wrest the terror
Or fix our gaze on the sublime
Do we rise to the occasion
Fight the poverty and crime
Or do we cosy in our bubble
Nurturing alone what's mine
If we know our true potential
Perceive our lofty purpose here
If we realise our heirdom
Anticipate where we might go
Then we'd muster all the courage
Then we'd know just what to do
And as we bind all life together
We'd swathe superlatively through
All strife and hunger, tribulation
No obstacle could stand
For as we all become the master
And with power are imbued
So our purposes would triumph
No more evil could ensue
