	Story Behind the Song This song is about maintaining one's hope and courage during religious/secular persecutions and repression. The widespread abuse of power and authority fosters fear, doubt, and hate. Sometimes our own self-abuse and degradation do more damage to ourselves than anyone else possibly could. However, through overcoming our own negativity, we can become strong enough to challenge the greater injustices of our world. Lyrics They tell you that you live in sin And there's no way that you will win Until their holy man says, "you're okay" Wealth and fame some really worship Greed and power lust for it Controlling others is their evil way Why does our happiness ebb and flow? Where does in come from and oh, where does is go? The truth is all great things come from the heart And every ending contains a new start (Chorus 1) If I begin to think for me Dispel the clouds then I could see Earthly dreams much higher than the sky Why waste the time to wait and see If he will come to rescue me If I can't get to heaven 'till I die? Someone else is left to blame "His will be done" just the same Good sheep are trained to never question why Why do we keep ourselves locked up with fear? Clouds of delusion make life so unclear Can't see the universe is our center Forget that spring always follows winter (repeat chorus 1) Salute To Spring: As I ponder this moment I'm changing my destiny I'll live daily with courage Never give in to fear or greed (Chorus) Warm winds whisper to me As color bursts from the trees Be strong and be victorious The Mystic force flows through me My heart can't keep from singing As winter turns into spring Hope blossoms all around me All of nature starts to sin (Repeat Chorus) Earthly Dreams Reprise: Why do we turn away in fear And let ourselves refuse to hear So many people need a helping hand? If we would all join in one chorus Tides would start to turn for us Together we can pray to understand Why does our happiness ebb and flow? Where does it come from and oh! how much more it can grow! The truth is all great things come from the heart And every ending contains a new start (Chorus 2) Let's face the new millennium With spirits soaring like the sun Respect and dignity for everyone
