Notice how the door closes when the chimes of freedom ring
I hear what you're saying, I hear what he's saying

If you're after getting the honey, hey
Then you don't go killing all the bees”

Musical Worldview: Seryn, "Figuring Out"
“Find beauty in the mystery
there are some things we will never see
You don’t always have to have the answers to everything

Be still, you’ll be fine with a little bit of doubt.
Well, I’m figuring out you don’t always have to figure it out.”

Don't let your mind set fool around

Lay down your troubles if you can, girl
Don't let anybody steal your crown
Don't let the whole world break you down
New day will come, come around”
Musical Worldview: Edwin Starr, "War"

Because it means destruction
Of innocent lives
War means tears
To thousands of mothers eyes
When their sons go to fight
And lose their lives

Good God, y'all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing”
