I'm asking you to join this great renaissance of humanity and contribute to the awakening of this planet. There are not more than six billion souls incarnated on Earth at this time for nothing. It is time for us, for the little people of this world, to recognize our power, our brilliance, and our ability to affect change. As individuals, we have been like lone stunted rata trees eking out a fragile existence on the windswept sub-Antarctic Auckland Islands. These trees have been like islands on islands, attracting other flora and fauna to the shade and protection they afford. Eventually they have joined together in one connected mass of strength and diversity.

We individual humans are ready to do the same. Acting collectively we can harness the strength of our numbers and our diversity and become an irresistible force for change. All each of us has to do is find our own unique part in the Divine Plan. All each of us has to do is follow the coincidences that guide us along the path of our destiny. Then we are part of the collective awakening of humanity and of Planet Earth.

The following words came to me in the middle of the night in 2003 during a time in which I was recording a few songs of peace while living in the Netherlands. You are welcome to copy and distribute United We Sing provided you acknowledge the source.


United we sing.
And our voices are heard in the decision halls of the world,
And the intention of our song is felt,
As we the little people of the world see, finally, we do make a difference.

The physical violence stops and weapons are no longer made
As our governments follow Costa Rica's example
And no longer create armies of destruction.
Defense departments are replaced with peace departments.

And their efforts turn to worthy causes so that all of the world's people have enough to eat and have clean, comfortable shelter, and a safe place to live.

And we begin the reconstruction of our natural world
That has been so sadly abused and neglected.
We now have armies of children of all ages planting trees
And the deserts bloom.

As our voices resound around the world our hearts give a collective sigh of relief
And peace descends upon us.

And our children's children will speak of this time with wonder:
The time when the killing stopped;
The time when the meek inherited the Earth
United in song.


Peace in ourselves, in our families, in our schools and communities, in our countries and in the world is not just a dream, it is inevitable.
