	Story Behind the Song I wrote this track right after I listened to a Swami Rhada tape. The tape was about Swami Rhada's experiences with various spiritual teachers. It made me reflect on my experiences with people of different faiths and how these people impacted my life. Lyrics 1st Verse: Yo at a standstill music is passion spoken in silence/ inside us/ seen through the dusk/ with eyes shut. Open your mind to the physical/ natural/ mystical manifestations of life...manifestations of life. Between the beating of your heart and the beating of the drum/ comes from that which will return/ and from that which is to come. Like leaves fallin/ all in a cycle, renew what is within/ syncopate vibrations/ with cosmic rotations/ through meditation/ fall in, fall in, fall in, all in sync. In sync with all/ one body one call/ one love, one love to spread to ya'll/ one love to spread to ya'll... one love to spread to ya'll. Chorus: This is for my Gurus/ my Swamis/ and my Sadhus/ my Priests/ my Pastors/ and Sufi Masters and all my Rabbi's(Shamen, Wiccans, Druids) Second Verse: I love walkin away from the pain/ to punishment, through death comes gain/ the abstract architect producing aesthetic art, we walk away/ we walk away. Cause it's the first step in this journey of life/ experience, we learn from life/ life is alive/ I'm on the heath; the earth is God's disguise/ so close your eyes cause mornings hard/ life's hard/ mournings mourning/ life's life/ death's death/ then paradise CHORUS Third Verse: And Blessed are the tears of the poor/ the tears of the children/ the tears of the whore/ the tears of the witch/ the tears of the rich/ the tears of the sick/ the tears of the addict. And blessed are those with nothing/ don't make material things your king/ If you do they will take you down and they'll bring/ seperation inside yourself/ I'm searching for somethinge else/ depression, destroys my health/ Joy is my Peace and wealth/ and I know the Lord hears everybody's cry for help/ I cry for help/ Let's cry for help CHORUS (chorus finishes with)and all my Zoroastrians/ all my Rastafarians/ all my Agnostics and all my Atheists... One Love. This is for God's children, man, woman, and child from every single nation/ Loved since creation... Children of God, Children of Jah, Children of Elohim. Children of God, Children of Jah, Children of El-Shaddai
