The Heartbeat of the World

My family and community;
my friends and my foes;
Stop!
and listen the the heartbeat of the world.

Whether it be in the colors of autumn
or the rains of spring;
from the winters icy storms
to the summer's buzzin' bees;
listen to the heartbeat of the world.

For we are all brothers
and sisters on this Earth.
From the thoughts in our mind;
the melody of our voices;
from the very rhythm of our footseps
we are connected.

In the morning
the traffic's honking horns;
in the afternoon the school bells ringing and
all the kids a playin';
to the evening the clatter of dinner plates
and the lights clicking off goodnight;
The heartbeat of the world.

For it is where ever you are,
flowing through your soul.
The breath that is in all of us
it lives in us.
The heartbeat of the world.
