We are the ones we've been waiting for
You have been telling people
That this is the eleventh hour
Now you must go back
And tell the people
That this is the hour
And there are things to be considered
Where are you living
What are you doing
What are your relationships
Are you in right relation
Where is your water
Know your garden
It is time to speak your truth
Create your community
Be good to each other
And do notlook outside yourself For the leader
We are the ones we've been waiting for
Then he clasped his hands together
Smiled, and said
"This could be a good time
There is a river flowing now...very fast
It is so great and swift
And there are those who will be afraid
They will try
To hold on to the shore
They will feel they are torn apart
And will suffer greatly
No, the river has its destination
The elders say we must
Let go of the shore
Push off into the middle of the river
Keep our eyes open
And our heads above water
And I say
See who is in there with you and celebrate
At this time in history
We are to take nothing personally
Least of all ourselves
For the moment that we do
Our spiritual growth and journey
Comes to a halt
The time for the lone wolf is over
Gather yourselves
Banish the word struggle from your attitude
And your vocabulary
All that we do now must be done
In a sacred manner and in celebration!"
We are the ones we've been waiting for
We are the ones we've been waiting for
We are the ones we've been waiting for
