This is the message /of the sev-en directions
Sharing life less-ons mend-ing connections (x2)

Hay Yappa Hay Yappa Hay Yappa Ho
Hay Yappa Ho Yappa Hay Yappa Ho

The message is light, but its also serious
Guiding us through these trans-itional periods

Hay Yappa Hay Yappa Hay Yappa Ho
Hay Yappa Ho Yappa Hay Yappa Ho

I am like a flute made of hollow bamboo
Open up my mind the universe jams through
Do the teachings come to me one at a time?
Nope, they overlap and they are all in rhyme.

7 directions is what we’re embedded in
De-picted on the wheel of the medicine

Hay Yappa Hay Yappa Hay Yappa Ho
Hay Yappa Ho Yappa Hay Yappa Ho

Up, down, east, west, north, south and the one within
Let these rhymes remind so we never forget again.

Consumerism is unfulfilling, because our cups already full
Told that we’re broken, but we’re already whole
We gotta remember how to live from our indigenous soul

And see that life is a fun dance
Full of a bun dance
Time is forever, but we still have just one chance

The precious chance is smashed
Between the future and the past

THIS moment is a Gift, and its oh so pleasant
Open up to it and it becomes a present

This moment brings in the wisdom of the East
And the grateful heart sits at a continuous feast

But how can we be grateful amidst so much drama?
Everyone’s gone crazy from Osama to Obama
Sidewalks of stress and suffering from trauma
How can we be peaceful like the Dalai Lama?
And reconnect our hearts with Pachamama?

Mother Earth is NOT just a re-source
Fire wind water food- she is thee Source (x2)

What on Earth is happening?
Do our lives fit into a larger patterning?
Or are we just going in circles like Saturn’s ring?

Vicious cycles of the same routines
Hamster wheel lifestyles create deranged teens
Are we rocks stuck in the mainstream?
The main stream is really just a strange dream
Sleepwalking actors, we must hop off stage and change memes

But what’s a meme?
A meme is an idea or story that you believe in
Like the law of karma, where everyone get’s even
Or that we must control the babies who are teethin
Instead of letting them explore and learn how to reason

Our cultural story is to join the stampede
Playing follow the leader, but no ones in the lead
Bombarded with messages about what we need
Told to climb to the top, you gotta use greed

But the 7 directions tell us other-wise
We are interCOnnected, so there really are no “other guys”
We are perfect as we are, we don’t need to be another size
Finding compromise is the way this is summarized!

So connect with the tribe and let your visions synergize
As we rise with open eyes to aurora skies
This is the time that humanity unifies
And the 7 directions are honored and recognized
