(C - C - C  C-G7-G-C)

C
Well this is real talk

        C7
This is non-stop

      F                     G7
It is looped now tongue and mind

               C
played off the sidewalk

                 C7
straight to your boom-box

       F            Dm     G
How it travels from ear to memory


             C
Well this is medicine

          C7
There's a message within

    F                 G7           C
And each will find it in their own time


C
Well this is music

              C7
This is how I use it

             F      Dm       G7
It makes you move & move the movement

              C                       C7
This is how I focus, Knowing it's not hopeless

        F                            G7
It just starts with me and ends on a whole 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 ...


Dm    F          C-G-Am
Don't waste your hate

Am     F      G7     C-G-Am
Rather gather and create

      F                        G
Be of service,   Be a sensible person

         C                    Am
Use your words,  and don't be nervous

        F         Dm         C
You can do this,  you've got purpose

F         G            C
Find your medicine and use it
