Embracing Humanity: A Melodic Oath of Love and Unity
Lyrics
I promise to think before I speak
I commit to thoughtful speech
To be wary of who I give my energy to
Caution in choosing where I invest my energy
Because it is needed for a greater cause
Energy directed towards a noble cause
Greater than my own pride
Emphasis on a cause beyond personal pride
And that cause is to spread the enlightenment
Promotion of love, compassion, and humanity
Of love, compassion, and humanity
Spreading enlightenment to those untouched by it
To those who are not touched by its light
Commitment to protecting and focusing on self-improvement
I stand to protect and focus myself
Devotion to the betterment of fellow beings
In the betterment of my fellow being
Recognition of universal brotherhood and sisterhood
We are brothers and sisters, each and every one
Promising to love even one's enemies
I promise to love my enemy
Avoiding becoming something contrary to divinity
And never become that which is not God
Spiritual dedication to the service of good and righteousness
I dedicate my spirit in the service
Commitment to positive values every day of life
Of what is good and fair and righteous
Recognizing opportunities for personal growth
Every day I am alive
Adherence to nonviolence
I am given opportunities to become that which I admire most of others
Being a dedicated student with an indomitable spirit
I am nonviolent
Opposition to forces that seek division
I am a master student and my spirit
Resistance to the dark ages of fear
Will never be stomped out
Amplifying the voices of the unheard
I am dedicated to oppose those whose will is to divide us
Advocacy for those unable to speak
And who are determined to keep us in the dark ages of fear
Protection of minds carrying messages of peace
I hear the voices of the unheard
Affirmation of unity as brothers and sisters
Speak for those who cannot speak
Reiteration of the universal bond among all
And shelter the minds that carry a message
-Of peace, love, and prosperity
-I repeat, we are all brothers and sisters
-I repeat, we are all brothers and sisters
-I repeat, we are all brothers and sisters
-We are all brothers and sisters
-We are all brothers and sisters
Continued emphasis on unity
We are all brothers and sisters
-We
Collective identity expressed as "We" and "Us"
We, us
-Wherever you have been
Recognition of a shared journey and future
And wherever you will go
