lyrics

Who told you people with pimples ain't appealin?
Or skinny blonde girls don't have feelins?
Who told you you were to big to be sexy?
Or that the quiet voice is not worth respecting?
And who says a magazine cover's what you're supposed to be?
Nah, just as you are you look beautiful to me.
You're not to short, too fat, too black or too tall
I see nothin wrong with you at all
And as soon as we get your wings unfurled
Your gifts are going to change the whole world

I wanted to know love I had to do this first
see the truth of the beauty of the women of the Earth
the children of the Earth, the men of the Earth
the beauty of myself, you know, my self worth
the truth and the beauty of the people in between
in the whole web of life if you know what I mean
Heather K gotta say gratitude to the end
for what you added to my life helped me find all my friends
and the interconnections upon which life depends
maybe some day we find a way to make amends
(ends, ends, ends, ends, ends)

we're all winners here fighting to be free from fear
we're all winners here to me that's just crystal clear

Who says there's insufficient love for us to overcome our fears?
We ain't tryin ta hear that they been sayin that for years
And why they work so hard on tryin to divide us?
Could it be that they're afraid of what's inside us?
birds gotta sing, and wolves gotta eat
we gotta rock to the beat try to get you out your seat
you ain't weak or asleep or a creep or alone
so when I say revolution come on let's get it on
soon as we get your wings unfurled
your gifts are going to change the whole world

What if we turned off the tv
and I touched you and you touched me
and what if we just giggled for fun
and run out into the sun where we all just fall into one
communicate and relate demonstrate without anger
flirtin with danger talkin to a stranger
we could play a game everyone could win it
we could eat a meal with no animals in it
go out and get our groove on
and dance until the dawn and remember it all in the mornin (mornin)
in the mornin (mornin) in the mornin on and on and on and on and on and

we're all winners here fighting to be free from fear
we're all winners here to me that's just crystal clear

Who's the fool that said that it was wrong to hug the trees
or that we shouldn't just dangle in the breeze
and who says that a woman that likes sex is a slut? (Yeah!)
you tell em they can lick your you know what
and who says a man is not a man if he's not strong
and who says there's such a thing as do not belong
you ain't wrong so come on come along sing a song
it's time to recognize you've been strong all along
as soon as we get our wings unfurled
our gifts are going to change the whole world

There's no self made men, we're all made by our moms
gratitude to every mom and we all shine on
like the moon and the stars and the sun and the one
everything freedom rings once we all can have fun
we stand together, we overcome
as one human family no matter where you're from
and now the world don't move to the beat of one drum
but gratitude because there's enough drums for everyone

there's enough of everything when we live within our means
give your love and your touch and your rice and your beans
and your smile, it's free, give it away, give it away
it might bounce around the world and save your life some day

we're all winners here fighting to be free from fear
we're all winners here to me that's just crystal clear
