Listen carefully to me now, put aside the clutter, the arguments,

the doomsayers, the haters, the fear mongerers,

the money worshippers, the hollow men and women

living in their caves.

In my world, this is what is around me right now,

this is my call to life, my morning prayers, I hear the ringing

of the morning bells, feel the hope and sweetness and love

in life.

This is my Prayer Call, rising out of the morning sun,

the songs from the mouths of a thousand birds,

My Dear, it is true, about the ten thousand things

that do not matter.

Listen more carefully to what does.
