You are here to contribute something
How will you choose what to give?
You are among us to give something to us
How will you choose what to give?
Help every threat to our peace be defeated
Be the supplier, the gift that is needed
You are here to contribute something
How will you choose what to give?
You will contribute from what you become
How will you choose what to be?
What you grow into will mark you and name you
How will you choose what to be?
Let every pillar within you be strong
Joined like the sounds of a meaningful song
You will contribute from what you become
How will you choose what to be?
You will become like the rhythms of life
How will you choose what to play?
All of your patterns will break you or make you
How will you choose what to play?
Actions in patterns will gather in heaps
Building a home from your thoughts and beliefs
You will become like the rhythms of life
How will you choose what to play?
Righteous rhythms move through time
Like mother root to baby fruit
Like seeded earth to leaf and sky
Like eggs to birds that flap and fly
From restful night to active day
Rhythms guide our work and play
The ones with righteous stamina
Go back to Mother Africa
You have become like the rhythms of life
How did you choose what to play?
So many patterns that broke you and made you
How did you choose what to play?
Actions in patterns have gathered in heaps
Building a home from your thoughts and beliefs
You have become like the rhythms of life
How did you choose what to play?
You are contributing what you’ve become
How did you choose what to be?
What you grew into has marked you and named you
How did you choose what to be?
Each day the pillars within you grow strong
Joined like the sounds of a meaningful song
You are contributing what you’ve become
How did you choose what to be?
You are here to contribute something
How did you choose what to give?
You are among us to give something to us
How did you choose what to give?
Help every threat to our peace be defeated
You’re the supplier, the gift that is needed
You are here to contribute something
How did you choose what to give?
