Lyrics

Part 1
I’m not a lone wolf and I never was
Anything I achieve I achieve it because
I am standing on the shoulders
Of an infinite many seen and unseen
I’m not a lone wolf and I never was
Anything I achieve I achieve it because
I am riding on a tidal wave
Of universal longing

Part 2
I’m dropping the I; I’m claiming the we
I’m feeling the everyone inside of me
I’m dropping the mine; I’m claiming the ours
‘Cause the whole is greater than the sum of the parts
I’m dropping the I; I’m claiming the we
I’m feeling the everyone inside of me
I’m dropping the mine; I’m claiming the ours
‘Cause I recognize how connected we are

Part 3
Every prayer that was ever said
And every tear that was ever shed
And every gesture on every day
Weaves us into the dancing, this is love’s way, oh
Every prayer that was ever said
And every tear that was ever shed
And every step on every day
Brings us into belonging, this is love’s way, oh oh

How Is this Song Creating the World We Want? 

Interdependence is the name of the game in the world I want to be a part of creating.  And a part of the whole is all we can hope to truly be!
