Inter-Be by Charity and the JAMband
This song is a collaboration with Frank Williams, who sent me a poem last year entitled "Inter-Be", inspired by the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh, and asked if I'd like to write a song for it. Well, here is that song!

Lyrics
VERSE 1
I am you
You are me
We inter-be
I am a moon
You are a star
We inter-are
I am a wave
You are a wave
We are an ocean
We are still
We are empty
While in motion
CHORUS
Peace is every step
We find peace in just one breath
Peace is every step
We find peace
In this one breath
VERSE 2
Smile at sorrow
Smile at pain
And we will notice
Shine a light
Upon the mud
Then comes a lotus
We are home
I have arrived
A bee in a hive
Happiness
Brings happiness
Free and alive
CHORUS
Peace is every step
We find peace in just one breath
Peace is every step
We find peace
In this one breath
BRIDGE
Present moment
Wonderful moment
Mindful, heartful
Grateful and joyful
Serenity
We inter-be
All beings near and far
We inter-are
We inter-be
We inter-are
We inter-be
We inter-are
…
