Enjoy the show!

Lyrics:

We are the generation of a new millennium, born into a time of unprecedented transformation. At this critical point in human history we have been given the role of deciding what direction to take. We face threats of terrorism, global eco-destruction, overpopulation, poverty, disease and extinction. No longer can we rely on the old paradigms of isolation, corruption and greed. A new creed must be declared; one that can be shared as we take this great responsibility we've been given and collectively create a new found world that we want to live in.

Children of 21st century unite! The world is ours and we don't even need to fight, 'cause the old folks trying to keep us all under control are disappearing like the use of fossil fuels. So, we gotta step up to the plate and break a bat, to take responsibility for fate. So have a chat with your fellow compatriot and tell them there's a time of opportunity to share a better paradigm.

There's thirteen quintessential character traits (that) make the difference in determining America's fate. With the rest of the world let's collectively cultivate an unstoppable crop of fresh homegrown faith. And if we got problems, solve them as diligent soldiers who fight for their rights but are not militant. It takes courage to stand for what you believe in. It's an integrity beyond your logic and your reason that's going to lead to freedom of pleasure and expression. To make a salad take your lettuce and your dressing. Put two and two together, anything can be done, with some creativity and communication. We got technology to take energy from the sun (to) streamline electricity; and that's just one sign of hope to show it's only begun, so love each other and remember to have a little fun.

We've arrived at the pinnacle of human history. We're going to decide if we die or live, you see? Should you be afraid? Naw, man be grateful, you're bringing new food to humanity's table. Remember to be ethical in everything you do because it bounces off of others like rubber and sticks to you. It's humility that's going to help you master compassion, and once you know the feeling it will be forever lasting. Life is a journey, not a destination. So why not make every minute of it a celebration? And with the Internet we hear the sound of information expanding potential past the boundaries of nations. Now we need to make us a clear declaration, to look at the system and say we're the generation that took what we were given and, with imagination, made the future through a beautiful collaboration.

The greatest illusion to ever be pulled over our eyes is this notion of scarcity. We grow up being taught that there's fundamentally not enough of whatever, but it's simply not true. And there's a brilliance that's coming out of the woodwork in all arenas of the world that's proving to us that we have all that we could ever need or want. So the question is not "do we have what it takes to be the greatest generation that ever walked the face of this planet?", the question is...will we rise to the occasion?

  • Powerful and Amazing Message and Presentation many Blessings

  • Love the Lyrics!

  • Good job!! Thanks!

  • Yes thanks, I understood this great video exactly as you did. To understand what I meant, when I postulated this earth was not overpopulated, please see my video "scarcity" - I guess, even though it is pretty kitschy, you will see how this is important to a new paradigm. It can not be allowed to let us be ruled by fear. And overpopulation is invented to spread fear.

  • Itsuku, i posted a response...not sure why it didnt appear as a reply but just my thoughts... Love and gratitude!!!

  • We want to now declare wealth, health & abundance in our thoughts & manifest it in our lives. Declaring a new paradigm is as easy as dismissing notions like the economy is bad. It doesnt have to be badfor you or me. We should start the day with what a beautiful morning; Im so grateful for another day; today I will be successful at everything I do, not with I dont(s) and I cant(s) I dont have this and I dont have that I cant do this and I cant do that Yes we can!

  • It's just that his video is not about overpopulation or all the other issues we "think" we have. It's sending a beautiful & eloquent message about stepping up & making changes for the better all around - declaring that new paradigm - & doing it "together". In essence, & to quote Rowan,A new creed must be declared; one that can be shared as we take this great responsibility we've been given & collectively create a new found world that we want to live in. Scarcity starts (and ends) in the mind.

  • Wow

  • I am aware that "overpopulation" is mentioned with only ONE word - yes.

    I very much like this video, and I made a videoresponse to it (see above).

    It is just that back when I saw this video, I was thinking about overpopulation a lot and came to a different conclusion, then what we are told.

    If that is not what you mean please tell me, I always try to learn, thanks

    Itsuku

  • itsukutiusku... I get the feeling you missed the whole point.
