Thank you for spreading your voice, Rob. Only 158 countries and 17 states still to go! WALK UPON THIS PLANET Tune:Snowbird Amidsta world in trouble it is true Thereare songs of hope and vision that are starting to break through. Thechaos may be ringing in your ears, Butthe voices won't stop singing until everybody hears. Chorus: Walk upon this planet, call it"Home"
From the highest celebrationto the deepest pain‑filled moan.
This worried world is yearningto forgive And reveal the unity where alltogether people live. Thetruth is higher than a bird can fly. It'sbigger than a mountain—even wider than the sky. It'sdeeper than the wells inside the mind Andit's more than what we're seeking or could ever hope to find. Jim Wiegel Theunknown is what is. And to be frightened of it is what sends everybodyscurrying around chasing dreams, illusions, wars, peace, love, hate, allthat. Unknown is what is. Accept that it's unknown, and it's plainsailing.

WALK UPON THIS PLANET
*Tune: Snowbird*
Amidst a world in trouble it is true
There are songs of hope and vision that are starting to break through.
The chaos may be ringing in your ears,
But the voices won't stop singing until everybody hears.
*Chorus: *
Walk upon this planet, call it "Home"
From the highest celebration to the deepest pain‑filled moan.
This worried world is yearning to forgive
And reveal the unity where all together people live.
The truth is higher than a bird can fly.
It's bigger than a mountain—even wider than the sky.
It's deeper than the wells inside the mind
And it's more than what we're seeking or could ever hope to find.

The unknown is what is. And to be frightened of it is what sends everybody scurrying around chasing dreams, illusions, wars, peace, love, hate, all that. Unknown is what is. Accept that it's unknown, and it's plain sailing. John Lennon
