Lyrics:

Oh silence.
Oh silence.
What is that cry we hear?
The lament of a passing epoch,
or the voice of a newborn age?
Ghosts of the past come to visit,
They wander unmourned.
So, the old world persists.
And the future whispers in words unformed

**
Millions will die. 
Birds fall from the sky.  
Boys will be sent to die,  
Forest will burn. 
Lover will yearn.
Sons in the ground. 
Hunger goes around. 
Forest will burn. 
Lover will yearn.
Sons in the ground. 
Hunger goes around. 
**
The war outside is a reflection of the war inside.
It is burning outside as it is burning inside
Nothing is done, so the world keep burning
Nothing is done, so the men keep dying.
Humanity dissolving.
Resignation as a self fulling prophecy
**
I am creating creating
I am creating creating you
I am creating creating
I am creating creating me
**
Humanity will deepen
**
You are creating creating
You are creating creating me
You are creating creating
You are creating creating you
**
Birds will fly in the sky.
Forest will rise.
Wisdom the inner kingdom.
Healing the greed symptom.
We are all stardust,
So we must trust
We end the turmoil 
for the joy of the soil
Healing history
as it become poetry
be free from inner misery
seperation illusionary
learning to harmonise so we can be wise
We are all stardust,
So we must trust
We end the turmoil 
for the joy of the soil
Healing history
as it become poetry
be free from inner misery
seperation illusionary
learning to harmonise so we can be wise
**
A new experience of being human will open up
we meet again
as we are one
**
I am creating creating
I am creating creating you
I am creating creating
I am creating creating me

Life Itself is a community of people seeking a wiser world.

Looking around us we can see that neither our society nor our planet are as well as they should be. Greater wisdom is needed both in diagnosis and in finding cures.

We emphasize wisdom because we believe this is about more than finding a quick-fix in technology or politics — it is about finding something deeper within ourselves and our societies.
