Deep in the earth and surrounding all the stars
Penetrating everything, near and far
Conceived in the mist, vibrating in the word
Thoughts taking forms that created these worlds
Love is going to grow through the soil from the earth
Scattering her seeds in this endless re-birth
Filling up the spaces in every single cell
Flowing in the water through the mountains and the fells
Love is going to flow from the shore to the sea
Sweep across the continents and every country
Burst through the borders and open up the gates
Redefine all lands as United States of Grace
Love is going to flow from the sea to the shore
Everywhere abundant, no being needing more
Touching every heart, finding every soul
Clearing all resistance and filling every hole
Oh my skin's shed, (I) stand here naked
Sometimes it might feel too much,
But do we let our fears dictate this?
And seek a pain-free road
Into the season-less world, but it's no place to fill our cup
Let it be filled up, I am in the heart, I can choose to have hope
Love is going to pour from the courts and the jails
Seeping from the walls in the barracks and the cells
Touching every patient in every hospital
Filling up the boardrooms and offices as well
Love will be shared in the city and the banks
Chanted at the football by the scousers and the mancs
Traded in the market and shouted in the pubs
Waiting at the bus stop and dancing in the clubs
Love will be taught in the classrooms of the schools
Stepping from the shadows and shaking up the rules
Studied in the lab, sweated in the gym
Sweep across the playing fields, carried in the wind
Love is going to flow from the shore to the sea
Sweep across the continents and every country
Burst through the borders and open up the gates
Redefine all lands as United States of Grace
Oh my skin's shed, standing naked
Grace is going to help us to love beyond our limitations
We're strong as ancient oaks
Caressed and kissed by the sun, (but) then it takes our roots and
Shakes them, oh I am shaken, will I awaken, may I be awakened
Love will come, you can muffle the drum
You can loosen the strings, but the earth will sing
Let it go, we can let love flow
We can be in the heart, we can choose to have hope
Let it go, We can let love flow
We can be in the heart, we can choose to have hope
