Embrace It

Feel the soil beneath your feet
Telling you where you are
And where you come from
Throw away your shoes and let your feet do the feeling
It is yours to own and hold
The land you feel beneath your feet
It is yours so you control it
Don't ignore it or push it away
Embrace it.

See the dove fly above the buildings
Showing you what is in need
And how to find it
So look at it and see it's message clearly
It is yours to own and hold
The peace that we all need
It is yours and you control it
Make a change, don't ignore it
Embrace it.

Taste the victory within our grasp
It's too close to let it go
Grab it use it spread it wisely
Don't act as though you cannot take it
It is yours to own and hold
Spread it wisely through the world
It is yours so you control it
Take the dream and make it real
Embrace it.

Hear the beating of the nation
The spirit is alive today
Hear it asking you to join in
Be a part of what we've made
It is yours to own and hold
The unity and all it means
It is yours and you control it
The power needs to be in togetherness
Embrace it.

Smell the fear that rests within them
They know that we are rising up
Show them that we will not harm them
We only want the peace we deserve
It is yours to own and hold
Their fear is not unjustified
It is yours so you control it
Let them know we needn't be feared
Embrace it.

Know the land that you are holding
Know the dove and wish it well
Know the victory needs to be shared
Know the country's heart is beating
Know the fear and stop it spreading
Know your heart and feed its needs
Know who you are and where you come from
Know why you have to be standing here
Embrace it.
