Ocean of One

INTRO - CHANT (many voices)
(rhythmic, slow, builds power)
Da… da… dadada…
Dadda da da da…
Da… da… dadada…
(audience/choir continues)

REFRAIN / CHORUS (the heart – sung by all)
(this is the mantra)
We are the people
The people in peace
Living side by side
As one, yet free
We are the people
Standing as one
Many waves, one ocean
We belong, we belong
________________________________________
VERSE 1 – IDENTITY & UNITY
We are the life force, sharing it all
Free to be different, free when we fall
By helping each other, by honoring truth
We grow through our difference, not fear or proof
Like oceans unite every wave that they meet
Each shape has its purpose, each rhythm its beat
________________________________________
CHORUS (again – louder)
________________________________________
VERSE 2 – STRENGTH WITHOUT VIOLENCE
We stand in our power, we stand in our light
Alone in our truth, yet together in might
No shame, no fear, no need to control
Peace is our language, love is the goal
We walk as a circle, no one above
Strength is compassion, freedom is love
________________________________________
BRIDGE – UNIVERSE & TRUST
(more hovering, almost whispered at first)
We are one with the stars and the soil and the sea
With all that is living, with you and with me
No end, no beginning, no walls in between
Trust is our ground, and love is the dream
________________________________________
CHORUS - FINAL (all, max power)
We are the people
The people as one
Many hearts, one rhythm
One rising sun
We are the people
No fear, no divide
One ocean of purpose
With love as our guide

OUTRO – CHANT (back to beginning)
Da… da… dadada…
Dadada da da da…
(slowly fades out, audience continues)
