THE UPDATE (from Ill Communication)
"I can hear the trumpets blowing screaming out the end of time Look around and listen and you'll see every
sign The waters are polluted as the forests are cut down Bombing and drilling deep below the ground Check
the prophesies from around the world and look around now as it all unfurls Look into yourself and see what
goes on Get a feeling in your heart of the right from the wrong Because the Mother Earth needs to be
respected Been far too long that she's been neglected Race against race, what a foolish waste Its like cutting
off your nose to spite your face And at the end of the wars, what was the cost It's clear that the Earth was
the one who lost We are one with her as she is one with us It's unreal how she is treated so unjust As our
planet grows smaller each and every day Everyone affecting everyone in every way We're all citizens of the
world community All here together and we're searching for unity Over the years, I've grown and changed so
much Things I know now years ago, I couldn't touch There are things i've done I wouldn't do again But I'm
glad that I did 'cause i've learned from them I just try to stay present right here, right now
No worries, no fears and without any doubts It's about time
j'cause in these times, these changing times A transition is occurring and I am not blind As the pendulum
swings a new age we enter And with every swing, it draws closer to the center Yes the storm before the calm
and the wars that lead to love Things must run their course so we push and we shove But we're here to work it
out in one way or another To find a mutual respect for ourselves and one another And a true key is a trust in
self For when I trust myself, I fear no one else I took control of my life just as anyone can I want everyone to
see its in the palm of your hand The past is gone the uture yet unborn But right here and now is where it
all goes on I know we can fix it and its not too late I give respect to King and his nonviolent ways I dream and
I hope and I won't forget Someday I'm going to visit on a free Tibet Someday I'm going to see us all joined as
one And it would be too bad to blow it up before we're done 'Cause we're long behind the rage Learning from
the pain The love behind the tension like the Sun behind the Rain I'm sending loving light to all that is To all
creation and the life we live I'm not preaching bullshit, just speaking my mind
'Cause I'm here now and it's about time." ---the beastie boys
