About The Seventh Year
Time to put down our plows.
Take a rest.
Stop running,
Catch our breath.
We can
Blur the lines
Between what is yours
And what is mine.
Time we look back
At footprints we left,
See the good we’ve done
And what we regret.
And if not now
Tell me when,
We’ll have a chance
To start over again.
The seventh year is here.
Take down our fences,
Open up our fields,
When we don’t own anything,
There’s nothing to steal.
As the sun of the sixth year,
Set one last time,
We were given the chance,
To leave our old minds behind.
It’s a year to envision,
Our dreams coming true,
Peace with the Earth,
People living in truth.
So let’s get together,
You and me,
Let’s build the world,
We know needs to be.
The seventh year is here.
And this could be,
What we’ve been waiting for,
Another understanding,
Of what life’s worth living for.
Once every seven years,
Time to re-birth,
To dispel the notion,
That we own the Earth.
Raise our eyes to the skies,
Look up and see,
There’s more to the world,
Than our eyes can see.
The seventh year is here.
