Lyrics

The precipice is where we find ourselves when all our bridges have been burned
Diplomatic channels blocked exhausted not a stone is left unturned

Stop the madness slow it down back up a step or two
No more sadness take a breath and let it out now
A hundred broken hearts, a thousand shattered dreams, a million wasted lives gone to extremes

Circling the wagons to defend against invading points of view
Holed up in an echo chamber reinforced by nothing that is new

Stop the blindness and focus on the world through different eyes

All things becoming clearer the distance growing nearer
Time slows down and peace comes calling
There’s a place we can all run away to come along take my hand I’ll show you

Kill with kindness and maybe learn to empathize
Walk about a mile in someone elses’ shoes try to reconcile what can you lose?

Gonna find a safer place – a quiet life a slower pace – gotta quit the race

Standing on the peak of Kilimanjaro – gazing toward the east into tomorrow
The Northern lights swing and sway – a dance that always takes my breath away
The Southern Cross is now our guide ensuring no one will be lost tonight
O Western Wind when wilt thou blow - gently lead us where you wish to go
And we will follow

Standing on the peak of Kilimanjaro – gazing down with no regrets or sorrow
Straight ahead the path appears paved with bricks of blood and sweat and tears
To our left they talk the game of virtue signaling to shift the blame
While on the right they justify with false nostalgia for a simpler time
Behind our backs – knives are drawn – it’s no wonder why we’re movin’ on

Toward tomorrow – on Kilimanjaro
