Do you remember
September by the sea
We were so young and
By god we thought we were free
But we were bound by the ground that gave us birth
Loyalty to family and beloved mother earth
We wandered but we didn't go far
Navigating by the sun and the stars
Changing moods with the full moon
Playing like fools in the afternoon
We had it all, we had it all, we had it all
And I look up to the sky
And I ask the heavens why
It has to be so hard for so many
And I look down to the ground
And I gather what I've found
And I pray for the day when the many
Will find their freedom
And enter the kingdom
The Earth is my mother
My father is the sun
The trees are my brothers
And I'm the only one
Who can play my part
We're strokes of many colours
In a grand work of art
We have it all, we have it all, we have it all
And I look up to the sky
And I ask the heavens why
It has to be so hard for so many
And I look down to the ground
And I gather what I've found
And I pray for the day when the many
Will find their freedom
And enter the kingdom
You know life is never ending
And it never began
Oh can you hear me
Or are you too busy being man
What about your spirit
Oh what went wrong
Oh, did you forget
We're just notes in a song
We have it all, we have it all, we have it all
And I look up to the sky
And I ask the heavens why
It has to be so hard for so many
And I look down to the ground
And I gather what I've found
And I pray for the day when the many
Will find their freedom
And enter the kingdom
