The music of the Wave

What if the boldest dream was the simplest thing to do? Just humans finding humans no leader, nothing to prove. Before the flags, before the roles, above it all, we're human. The same water, the same bread, the same hope to be free. But today we're spread so far, can't see how many we are. So here's the first step: come together. Take your number: "I am here." And we watch ourselves grow, one by one, live, in the light. Every presence counts, and now we know we're not alone. Energy is born from the many no one owns it, we make it free. Three small gestures: sign up, invite, watch the Wave grow. The plan is simple, we're building a world more human. It's already begun take your place, one by one. I am here, I am here… take your place, one by one.

Hey! Don't wait! It's happening — right now! Don't wait for permission, don't wait for a sign Don't wait for the world to fall in line While everyone's arguing about what's wrong Somebody somewhere started something warm And it's growing while we're singing And it's growing while we dance Human after human — Come and see! Come and see! IT'S ALREADY BEGUN — oh-oh-oh-oh! IT'S ALREADY BEGUN — oh-oh-oh-oh! A more human world isn't coming someday The fire our ancestors lit still burns today! ALREADY BEGUN! Before our countries, before our names Before opinions, before the flags We need the same bread, we dream the same dreams We were only missing a place to meet And it's growing while we're singing And it's growing while we dance Human after human — Come and see! Come and see! IT'S ALREADY BEGUN — oh-oh-oh-oh! IT'S ALREADY BEGUN — oh-oh-oh-oh! A more human world isn't coming someday The fire our ancestors lit still burns today! ALREADY BEGUN! Belgium's here… (here!) Nigeria's here… (here!) America's here… (here!) Ukraine is here… (here!) India's here… (here!) Kenya's here… (here!) Japan is here… (here!) Brazil is here… (here!) Thirty countries and counting… AND YOU? TOGETHER… (together…) We were scattered — now we're one voice TOGETHER… (together…) Not behind a chief — side by side, by choice TOGETHER… TOGETHER… Say it louder — TOGETHER! Before our countries — WE ARE HUMAN! Before our banners — WE ARE HUMAN! Before our opinions, our fortunes, our names We are the same, we are the same! IT'S ALREADY BEGUN — oh-oh-oh-oh! WE ARE HUMAN! TOGETHER!

Three little words… That's all it takes… Three little words… I used to scroll through a world on fire Feeling small, feeling like a spare Then a friend sent me three little words: "Come and see — we're gathering there" No one asked me to change No one asked me to pay No one asked me to fight They just asked me to say… I AM HERE! (I am here!) From my street to the other side of the sphere I AM HERE! (I am here!) One more light, and the map gets clear We were scattered — now we appear I AM HERE! (I am here!) I AM HERE! A baker in Nairobi, a nurse in Ukraine A student in Manila singing this same refrain We don't think the same, we don't pray the same Human comes first — that's the whole game No one asked us to change No one asked us to pay No one asked us to fight They just asked us to say… I AM HERE! (I am here!) From my street to the other side of the sphere I AM HERE! (I am here!) One more light, and the map gets clear We were scattered — now we appear I AM HERE! (I am here!) I AM HERE! Belgium's here… (here!) Nigeria's here… (here!) Japan is here… (here!) Brazil is here… (here!) Thirty countries and counting… AND YOU? (I AM HERE!) I am here! (I AM HERE!) From my street to the other side of the sphere (I AM HERE!) One more light, and the map gets clear We were scattered — now we appear I AM HERE! I AM HERE! I. Am. Here.

Hey! Don't wait! It's happening — right now! Don't wait for permission, don't wait for a sign Don't wait for the world to fall in line While everyone's arguing about what's wrong Somebody somewhere started something warm And it's growing while you're reading And it's growing while you sleep Human after human — Go and see! Go and see! IT'S ALREADY BEGUN — oh-oh-oh-oh! IT'S ALREADY BEGUN — oh-oh-oh-oh! A more human world isn't coming someday It started without asking, and it's here today! ALREADY BEGUN! Three little gestures, that's the whole recipe: Take your place, invite, and watch it be No chief on a throne, no line to obey The group belongs to no one — we build it today! And it's growing while we're singing And it's growing while we dance Human after human — Come and see! Come and see! IT'S ALREADY BEGUN — oh-oh-oh-oh! IT'S ALREADY BEGUN — oh-oh-oh-oh! A more human world isn't coming someday It started without asking, and it's here today! ALREADY BEGUN! Hundreds of us tonight… and one is on the way… Every time we sing this line… the number's grown again… So this song will never be finished… (beat drops out — one breath of silence) AND THAT'S THE POINT! IT'S ALREADY BEGUN — oh-oh-oh-oh! IT'S ALREADY BEGUN — oh-oh-oh-oh! A more human world isn't coming someday It started without asking, and it's here today! IT'S ALREADY BEGUN — oh-oh-oh-oh! IT'S ALREADY BEGUN — oh-oh-oh-oh! ALREADY BEGUN!

You and me… We're not so different… Look closer… You need bread, and I need bread You need a roof when the sky goes dark You need someone to laugh with on a Tuesday And so do I… and so do I You dream of making something with your hands Of being free, of being seen Of a little respect at the end of the day And so do I… and so do we all Before our countries — WE ARE HUMAN Before our banners — WE ARE HUMAN Before our opinions, our fortunes, our names We are the same, we are the same For too long we couldn't see each other Scattered like stars with no sky to hold Now there's a place where we come together And watch our number grow — watch it grow! Before our countries — WE ARE HUMAN Before our banners — WE ARE HUMAN Before our opinions, our fortunes, our names We are the same, we are the same Every presence counts (every presence counts) Every single one (every single one) An idea, a meeting, a proof in the dark WE ARE NOT ALONE WE ARE NOT ALONE! WE ARE NOT ALONE! Before our countries — WE ARE HUMAN! Before our banners — WE ARE HUMAN! Before our opinions, our fortunes, our names We are the same, we are the same! …we are the same (we are the same)

I was a name that no one called, a light behind a quiet wall... then something moved — I felt it come, the beating of a single drum. No one made me. No one forced my hand. I looked up once and chose where I would stand. Not against the dark — I turned toward the day, free will in my chest, and I found the Wave. Count me in — I am one, I am here, one more heart the whole world can hear. Hand to hand, we are the tide, no one leads, and no one hides — Rise up, rise up, we are the Free Will Wave! Every soul a spark, every choice made brave. We are not the storm — we are the shore that grew, a million humans free, and every one is true. Rise up, rise up — the future's calling clear, I chose to join the Wave, and now the Wave is here! I passed my light to one, then one passed on to more, a chain of open hands from shore to shining shore. No kings above us, and no chains below — just humans saying yes, and watching each one glow. Count us in — we are ten, we are ten thousand strong, strangers turning kin, we've been waiting all along. Right here, right now, this is the day — we are not asked, we simply stay... Rise up, rise up, we are the Free Will Wave! Every soul a spark, every choice made brave. We are not the storm — we are the shore that grew, a million humans free, and every one is true. Rise up, rise up — the future's calling clear, I chose to join the Wave, and now the Wave is here! And I can see it now — the world we're reaching for: no wall, no fear, no name forgotten anymore. Just light, and light, and light, each one who chose to shine... the human dawn is breaking, and this whole sky is mine — is ours! (Free — will — Wave!) One choice, one flame! (Free — will — Wave!) I'll rise the same! (Free — will — Wave!) From hand to hand! (Free — will — Wave!) Together we stand! Rise up, rise up, we are the Free Will Wave! Every soul a spark, every choice made brave! We were never the storm — we're the shore the whole world grew, a billion humans free, and every one is true! Rise up, rise up — the radiant morning's here, I chose to join the Wave... and now WE are the Wave — forever, without fear! I was a name that no one called... now I am one who answered all.
