lyrics

If I had a nickel
For every time that I heard
That peace is impossible
I'd buy my own church
From that pulpit I would preach
About individual responsibility
How it comes down to you & me
To cultivate a peaceful reality
There ain't no one to blame but ourselves
There ain't no satan & there ain't no hell
Heaven on Earth is right here & right now
So don't waste a lifetime waiting around

For the miracle's in being
And seeing it in every thing
Don't wait to rest in peace
At the end of your days
When there's so much life to live in between
Where the tragedy's not in dying
The tragedy lies in not loving living while alive

If I had a dime
For every single life
Lost in a war over God or for gold
Well I'd buy my own island
Sail away from civilization
Work together to create a new nation
Based on the principles of
Peace, love, & justice
Tolerance, equality, respect, & nonviolence
There ain't no religion and there ain't no law
Every one living for one great cause
To prove that humanity can live in harmony
Harmony means you & me & every thing

So who's with me
Who wants to go?

Get on the boat and row
