ENOUGH
Buddhist, Muslim, Hindu, Jew, Earthen Mother, Christian too
Native Spirit, Atheist, and the millions that I’ve missed
Everybody’s got a book, tale from the tribe
If yours teaches love and justice then your book is mine
Woman prophet, priestess healer, daughters wise and old
When your voice is missing only half the story’s told
Matters not your clothing, choice of words or tongue you talk
What matters is communion, what matters is your walk
CHORUS:
So many temples, so many tribes, none of us should change
None of us should hide
Too many hateful prophets false and full of lies
Calling us to judge each other, calling us to die
When our word’s our weapon, and our wisdom’s war
Then we worship wickedness, n’ we’ve been there before
If you stand in judgement, find a mirror flat
If it’s stones you’re throwing, pray perfection stares you back
CHORUS:
I got a vision of a holy house, holy for its Love
You can say it’s from inside, say it’s from above
There is room for all of us, there is food enough
Let’s put this house in order
Let’s live it up
We seek the same great city, you pray east and I’ll pray west
Neither is more righteous, neither is the best
If you’re born into a curse, with some help you can reverse
If you choose a hateful voice, there’s no helping conscious choice
CHORUS:
