We Have The Means written by Sheldon Manoo

Trouble and confusion and pain and war and uncertainty
Plunged into what seems to be an abyss of hopelessness
Murder by day by night by wrong by right by anybody
Turn off the news, points of views ignorance might be bliss
To believe there's happiness

But we do have the means to protect our soul
We may not be able to protect our world
But love is not entertainment value
Love is from the highest virtue
And this love is the means to free us
For this love was demonstrated by Jesus

The virus of fear mongering and false promises and prophecy
The mental strain on the vulnerable of every society
Natural human made disasters of control and manipulation
Inter religious wars even in our own congregation
There is a realization

That we have the means to end our uncertainty
We must believe that this can set us free
For those who believe in other things let them be
We're to love not to judge anybody
For this love is the means to redeem us
From this very tumoltuous existence

No it is not easy to love in this way
For there is heartbreak every minute of every day
Yeshua is not only a story written in religious texts
There are facts in other historical context
Not about race, a religion or geographic location
About a way, grace, redemption restoration
A truth beyond our most intelligible deciphering
We have the means to obliterate senseless suffering
If we use what we need and share the rest
Exterminate our greed and try our best
To create a community of reaping and sowing
Teaching what we're preaching while doing and mentoring
We have the means we have the guide
A unified spirit in our mind on our side
Paradise on earth that's treated just and kept clean
Each and every one of us, we have the means!
