Come on People
\nLive life freely
\nLearn the way of
\nCommon trust<\/p>\n

Listen to the sounds
\nAlarming
\nOCCUPY
\nWith other’s thrust<\/p>\n

Take within yourself
\nThe burden
\nGreen the earth
\nMany One All<\/p>\n

Let blue Gaia
\nBe your village
\nShine your spirit
\nWalk on tall<\/p>\n

Let the light that
\nBrightens darkness
\nInnovate
\nFacilitate<\/p>\n

Display care
\nUp on your shoulder
\nDo create
\nCooperate<\/p>\n

Speak your voices
\nEven in shadows
\nOpen the eyes of
\nThose you love<\/p>\n

Never let the
\nDoubts beclouding
\nBlock the sunshine
\nFrom above<\/p>\n

Heed the cries
\nAlign your passion
\nJoin the struggle
\nOf our time<\/p>\n

Swing your hip
\nAnd dance the Hula
\nGrace the change
\nOf paradigm<\/p>\n

Launch with those
\nWho share the vision
\nFructify
\nHumanity<\/p>\n

In a life that
\nKeeps on burning
\nLive Ohana’s
\nReality<\/p>\n

Show Aloha
\nThat’s your calling
\nDramatize
\nThe signs divine<\/p>\n

Each one on the
\nGlobe your brother
\nAnd your sister
\nLife’s combine<\/p>\n

Choose to follow
\nLead the journey
\nKnow that alone
\nYou dance the Way<\/p>\n

Then join hands
\nCommune together
\nOCCUPY
\nBe here to stay<\/p>\n
