Tuning: G C E A
(C - C - C C-G7-G-C)
CWell this is real talk
This is C7non-stop
It is Flooped now tongue and G7mind
played off the Csidewalk
straight to your C7boom-box
How it Ftravels from Dmear to Gmemory
Well this is Cmedicine
There's a C7message within
And Feach will find it G7in their own Ctime
CWell this is music
This is how I C7use it
It makes you Fmove & Dmmove the G7movement
This is how I Cfocus, Knowing it's not C7hopeless
It just Fstarts with me and ends on a G7whole note
Musical medicine
This is my healin'
For past and present, future things to come
I see people stressin'
over space & posessions
out of fear and a need for visual aids of our abundance
give me examples, or something tangible
something I can get my hands on & find real meaningful
Where is the medicine?
Well I've been searchin'
And I suppose each'll find it in their own time
Well everything's at stake
it makes it hard to concentrate
and there are men who see war and see a paycheck
Such different programing
to live so fearfully
Terror this and terror that
Terrible reality
There is no medicine
on the television
So turn it off and turn yourself around
And let's just face it
the world's f*ing racist
Even the most peaceful of us gets caught in the trend
To live cohesively
is almost a fantasy
And we oughta' know it starts with humbling our egos
What is the medicine
for cultural woundin'?
Has it's moments, has it's melodies, has it's time
Well I was listening
to the outgoing seasons
about climate change and some of the reasons
When the sky opened
like I'd been hopin'
And there came horses by the thousands
And there was thunder on there tongues
And lightning on their minds
And they were singing this old melody from some other time
... they sang ...
