    We can’t keep on living
    Like something deep isn’t happening
    It’s time to open our eyes
    To the steep slope in front of us
    Pulled by lies toward an abyss
    By the ties to our misguided politics
    That blind us to the truth
    And bind us from action
    It only takes silence to comply
    And ignore the violence so obvious
    How can we make a difference here
    And refuse the insolence I see
    From an idiot wanna be king
    And his court jesters of gonna be killers
    Time for Minnesota to stand up
    Denying the quota of dead bodies
    To the jack boot criminals
    With hack and shoot ambitions
    The guard, police and citizens unite
    To chase the denizens of hell called ICE
    Out of their beautiful state
    Through dutiful embrace
    Of state’s rights that carry weight
    Before they bury one more mother or nurse
    We stand shoulder to shoulder with you Minnesota
    And support the bolder and bolder action you take

    Waking to a new year
    I recognize my breath
    And feel gratitude
    To live

    Waking to a new year
    I recognize my family
    And feel loved
    By each one

    Waking to a new year
    I recognize my friends
    And feel peace
    In the fellowship

    Waking to a new year
    I recognize my work
    And feel engaged
    To spread goodness

    Waking to a new year
    I recognize my world
    And feel responsible
    To give back

    Waking to a new year
    I recognize my path
    And feel alive
    To walk it
