Lyrics:

Everybody over there is fighting all the time
Casting first stones and slinging slime
They say no, but…you’re an idiot
Everybody over there says listen to me C
When I’m talking stop talking
Pushing themselves up by shouting others down

Everybody over here is glad to be here
All the bodies move with rhythm in time
If you’ve got some kind of trouble in your mind
We’ll help you find a reason and a rhyme
Everything you feel is okay to feel
All that is lost will be found
Over here the monsters are real
But so are the swords that slay them down

I’d like you to meet by best friend Sam
He’s a really good listener
Your words are seeds he’ll hold in his hand
He'll water them with his heart
And then say “Yes, and…”
Yes, and...


Everybody over there blame you blame me
Blame God blame everything
I guess Ha Shatan got the whole world in his hands
Everybody over there says wrong wrong wrong
The world’s all wrong, you’ve got it all wrong

Child, come over here and hear our song
We are always returning
Nothing is truly right or wrong
It’s all just a lesson for our learning

Let sunshine sparkle on the fountains
Let heaven and earth rejoice
Let joy rumble in the mountains
Let the rivers clap their hands

I’d like you to meet my best friend Sam
He’s a really good listener
Your words are seeds he’ll hold in his hand
He’ll water them with his heart
And then say, “Yes, And…”

Come now, clap your hands
Let the rivers be our teachers
Form a circle and we’ll all learn
The words and steps of the ring shout dance
And all sing “Yes, And”
