Betty Buckley:
We defend our race and country
In the face of so much need,
And we trade our lives for money,
In the name of endless greed.

Soloist:
But if the child inside could lead us,
Innocence, no wills to war--
We'd be creatures on an earthship,
We'd be travellers on a star.

Betty Buckley:
In our seeing one another
All our sweetness would return.

Full company:
We would sing a song of gladness,
And our hatred could be burned.
In the firelight we'd see shining faces,
Feel our beating hearts.
And the spirits of dimensions
Who are simply playing parts

Betty Buckley:
Would be stronger, would be kinder.
We would care to cause no pain.
We could give up all our anger
And we'd all begin again.

Full company:
To a march of simple oneness
To the music of a drum
And in four-four time that we all can feel
Beating out the time in one.

Betty Buckley:
And our minds could drop the concepts
While our throats would fill with song.
It's of love and peace and wonder
And it's been so all along.

Full company:
There are souls who sit in silence
While some shout words of war.
We're a people on a planet
Who've forgotten what we are.

Soloist:
But if the child inside could lead us,
Innocence, no wills to war--

Betty Buckley:
We'd be creatures on an earthship,

Full company:
We'd be travellers on a star.
