lyrics

Are you committed to peace
Are you committed to change
Are you committed to love
In this hopeless game
They will tell you won't win
It takes 100 steps to go 99 back again
Can you walk the line still stay sane
In places yet made can you remain

Does eye for an eye to any good for you
Can you name one cost it hasn't claimed from you
Oh love can take you higher
Can you wake everyday and live your truth
You're the lynch pin needed to see this through
Won't you write your words on the face of today On the face of today
Are you committed to peace
Are you committed to change
Are you committed to love
In this hopeless game
They will tell you won't win
It takes 100 steps to go 99 back again
Can you walk the line still stay sane
In places yet made can you remain

In the end no one can take what you've got
You can feel it move ya when the dance gets hot
Can you find the fire that needs no fuel to burn
Can you move inside in order to expand
Keep still in order to cross the land
The gentle wind can pass through any wall
And if you want to reign you better learn to crawl

There is no panacea to want to break free
There is no easy win it takes time it takes distance to heal
But when you grow old what do you want to find
Who can take responsibility to break the futures binds
When none but ourselves can free our minds

Are you committed to peace
Are you committed to change
Are you committed to love
In this hopeless game
They will tell you won't win
It takes 100 steps to go 99 back again
Can you walk the line still stay sane
In places yet made can you remain

Can you come together for one and all
Catch each other as we start to fall
let the Levee break as we quietly pull through
When you sink the ship you learn to swim
Though it will break your heart to go all in
The greatest gift is to let in the light that tomorrow will bring
Tomorrow will bring
Are you committed to peace
Are you committed to change
Are you committed to love
In this hopeless game
They will tell you won't win
It takes 100 steps to go 99 back again
Can you walk the line still stay sane
In places yet made can you remain
