i am a part of all'st whence came
from thundered sky and winded rain
i lay before the heart so full
and buck and sway and push and pull
but always til this day is done
i wash my hands and face the one
shall troubled infants seek no more
when we awake on heaven's floor
one law
one law
in all the journeys of the meek
the kind and frail whose souls do speak
of undivided love at core
true justice held up in one law
to heal and resurrect the life
that we forgot through all this strife
from whence the channelled forces come
I AM will lead us back to one
rays of light
within my cells
listen to
the voice that tells
'you never were
forsaken then
and never will
you be again
for you have quickened
on the line
that holds the key
to space and time'
that only now
will ever be
the life that has been healed in me
our pities and our sorrows too
have nothing else for us to do
encumbered by their grief no more
we lie awake
on heaven's floor
frill ye call amongst our men
to see the us in them
frill ye call amongst our men
to see the us in them
(lie awake on it brother)
frill ye call amongst our men
to see the us in them
frill ye call amongst our men
to see the us in them
one law
cosmic law
lie awake on it brother
one law
gratitude express it not
we've had it all since we forgot
and never far away they stay
the angels and our helpers play
a tickle in your heart you see
is same in you as is in me
there's nothing to divide us now
our souls together in ths vow
the women raise the sons to come
whose birthplace lies within this sun
and they shall teach to fear no more
for they are standing on heaven's floor
frill ye call amongst our men
to see the us in them
