I Am Because We Are Lyrics


I am because we are

When each of us a shining star, then teach I am because we are

Tribes up-rise astride the blessed-wind, lives entwined by my Clan Destined!

Soon we’ll be gone – The Earth keeps on turning

Should this song live on long after we’re dead

Let these words then be heard as fires still burning

Not buried beside me like burdens unshed

Join with us sisters and brothers, hearts courageous welcome home

We judge not by creeds or colours, by your deeds ye shall be known

May history recall then we all were chosen, those who’d awoken – lived life for real

Facing the storm as children reborn, would not for a throne of conformity kneel

Whence the cards weren’t in our favour, weaklings bleated – mockers laughed

Someday soon this truth they’ll savour; we are wheat whilst they’re just chaff!

When each of us a shining star, then teach I am because we are

Tribes up-rise astride the blessed-wind, lives entwined by my Clan Destined!

It’s time let’s rhyme – United Pagan Massive

Come together or forever remain impassive

Evolving revolution of heathen free-thinkers

A moral obligation to abandon mental blinkers

Pricked, ducked, chucked on pyres of inquisition

Flesh and flame entwined in bestial coition

Demonised - canonised a patron-saint of sin

For facing then embracing the animal within

Join with us sisters and brothers, hearts courageous welcome home

We judge not by creeds or colours, by your deeds ye shall be known

When each of us a shining star, then teach I am because we are

Tribes up-rise astride the blessed-wind, lives entwined by my Clan Destined!

Soon we’ll be gone – The Earth keeps on turning

Should this song live on long after we’re dead

Let these words then be heard as fires still burning

Not buried beside me like burdens unshed

May history recall then we all were chosen, those who’d awoken – lived life for real

Facing the storm as children reborn, would not for a throne of conformity kneel

I am because we are!
