Renewal, Renewable
Ring the bells of renewal rising in our hell's ashes Ring the bells renewable echoing tones urging action Bring in an end sooner of our fossil-fueled age Bring in the beginning of the future world renewed today Like a library book staying generous Like now's giving depths is like how Time is the hook its renewal, renewable But only if we do it giving to how it's doable Sing a song with the breeze the same winds of change Singing songs with the leaves let them wind-power our age Spring forward with the seasons sun-spreading buds blossoming Spring towards solar-powered freedoms electrons dancing, ancestors honoring Like an old book returned to and ever-giving Like now's living depths is like how Time is the hook our renewal, renewable But only if we do it giving to how it's doable Let and may our blessings be Let us do the blessing, blessed we Activating to everything to do Animating every new day through it Let and may we change for each other By flow of hook drawing us together Let love guide us through extreme whatever And making a heaven of this hell Grow libraries from all the tales we have to love and tell Like starting with one good book may we grow to swell Like now's storied depths in how Love is the hook our renewal, renewable But only if we try it all give in to how it's all doable.
