Lift your thoughts and make them prayers
Of love, of light, of care
Do you dare?

For thoughts are prayers
If only realized
Powerful, incredible, to change the world indelible

It seems we can’t change the world
Yet in changing ourselves
The world is transformed 

It’s not inconceivable
The change is quite believable
Affirmed in the everyday of life

Alter your reactions
To life’s many dissatisfactions
Instead find harmony, equanimity reigning there

Because life wasn’t set up on a rose petal
path
Nor is it established in chaos and strife

The choice is always ours
To bring light or dismay
To carve problems
Into victory, crisis, or simply come what may

Our essential need
Is to lift our thoughts
and make them into prayers

For we are always thinking
We’re living, our hearts are oh so beating
And together
Our active prayers
Can surely save the world from sinking
