“It ain't money that makes the world go round
That's only temporary confusion
It ain't governments that make the people strong
It's the opposite illusion
Look right now and you will see
they're only here by the skin of our teeth as it is
so take heart and take care of your link with Life... Life is beautiful
if you got the sense to take care of your source of perfection
Mother Nature, She's the daughter of God and the source of all protectionLook right now
and you will see she's only here by the skin of her teeth as it is
so take heart and take care of your link with Life”
