In the Deepest Deep - Lion Goodman

In the Deepest Deep

 

 

In the deepest deep and the darkest dark,

when the lightest light is the smallest spark,

when oppression reigns and repression leads,

when hate drives men in fanatic creeds…

When power is held like precious seeds

and the ground is barren and the waters freeze…

 

In these darkest times we must find our spark

where the flame burns bright inside our hearts.

In the deepest deep and the darkest dark,

we must light our light with our heart’s own spark.

 

There are times of day when the sun shines bright,

and there are times of dark in the deepest night

when the souls of men turn away from light

and nature suffers with disease and blight.

 

When dark forces rule with selfish greed

when MORE! and MORE! are the ego’s creed,

and accumulation is beyond all need

while children‘s cries are left unheeded.

 

These are times when each awake one must

with passion, heart, and guts and lust,

bring forth their light, bring forth their voice,

bring heart and truth and life and choice.

 

Let freedom ring from every place!

Let love flow forth – not just a taste,

but glorious in fullness pour –

let passions fly, let voices roar!

 

Now raise your voice, and raise your hand,

and take a vow, and take a stand

to glorify yourself and others

to love yourself, to love all others

to live awake, with joy and fun,

to use your best imagination --

creating life as you want it to be 

to live your life forever free!

 

We shall not be suppressed again!

The fight for freedom shall not end!

Eternal vigilance shall see

us now, forever, living free!
