East To The West

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

One to creation

One to the sun

One to the morning and

One to the one

One to the air and the freshness we breathe and

One to the force of the change of the seasons

One to the mother from which all things come and

One to the daughters and one to the sons

One to the father who helps us believe that

Nothing's ever gonna harm you see and

One to the soldier who walk city streets and

One to the soldier who fights over seas and

One to the man who gets down on his knees and

Prays for guidance and protection please and

To the east to the west

To the north and south

To the east to the west

One love people never gonna stop

One to the woman, one to the man

One to the culture from the time when it began

One to destruction one to birth

One to the people who the people who still fight for the earth

One to the people who suffer for their needs and

One to the rebels who love rockin' to the beats and

One to the healer who fights a disease and

One to the Lorax who speaks for the trees

Cause no amount of money and no amount of man

Can bring to life what's gone when it's done and

One to the people who rise with the sun and

One to the people who sleep when it's gone 'cause

To the east to the west

To the north and south

To the east to the west

One love people never gonna stop

This whole thing seems upside down

But the whole wide world keeps turnin' around

Life is too short to make just one decision

Music's too large for just one station

Love is too big for just one nation and

God is too big for just one religion

One to the practice of being in the flow and

One to the tears of the things we let go and

One to the moment we live in right now and

One to the east west north and south

To the east to the west

To the north and south

To the east to the west

One love people never gonna stop

This whole thing seems upside down

But the whole wide world keeps turnin' around
