SONS OF THE KING
By Lou Lyons and Muhammad Muwakil
To the rulers of our fathers,
Think you're goin' rule my life forever?
Do you know what it means to be fighting an ungodly war
And still be at peace?
Do you know how it feels to be living in the biggest cage
And still feel so free
Do you know what it means to be running for all of your life
And still be at ease?
Do you know how it feels to be sitting for all of your days
And then find your feet?
So I'm sending a message loud and clear to the village thieves [fiends?]
They've been winning way too long, killing our dreams
Who you think you fighting?
You should be afraid of these words,
They are bound to come true.
So if they won't open the door, we won't come knocking, not any more,
We're sons of the king.
They won't open the door, we won't come knocking, not any more,
We're sons of the king.
They won't open the door, we won't come knocking, not any more,
We're sons of the king.
They won't open the door, we won't come knocking, not any more,
We're sons of the king.

A Note From The Gull
Thank you, Lou Lyons and Muhammad Muwakil.
"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.
Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.
The stars are my ancient ancestors
Shining light out to guide and direct us
In the dark of the night they connect us
To the soul of the universe
They creep silently through the nighttime sky
And make their way every day, every night
Before your birth and the earth they shone their light
Ancient in the truth of our eyes
And in the light that they shine
Are holy scriptures in the sky
With these words to remind:
Sons and daughters of the universe
The world rejoiced at the moment of your birth
We celebrate when you realise your worth
Child of the universe
Sons and daughters of this Creation
Family to the earth and the sun
You bless the ground that you walk upon
In your soul is the foundation.
So when the light of your life just don't show
And when it feels like your heart just can't grow
When the heights of your mind only feel low
You find your soul and you find your way home
When it feels like your life is a hard road
When it feels like you are holding a heavy load
When you feel you want to leave but you can't go
You find your soul and you find your way home
And then you find your way home
You find your way home
And then you find your way home.
Well, in the stars of the sky
Unto your soul you will find
Well, in these words to remind:
Sons and daughters of the universe
The world rejoiced at the moment of your birth
We celebrate when you realise your worth
Child of the universe
Sons and daughters of this Creation
Family to the earth and the sun
You bless the ground that you walk upon
In your soul is the foundation.
In your soul is the foundation
In your soul is the foundation.
Remember who you are
Remember who you are.
In your soul is the truth and the light of the stars
You are the artist and you are the art
You are the flame and the original spark
Whole universe in the space of your heart
Remember who you are
Remember who you are
In your soul is the truth and the light of the stars
You are the artist and you are the art
You are the flame and the original spark
Whole universe in the space of your heart.
Remember, remember, remember,oh remember,
Remember, remember, remember oh oh oh
Remember who you are
Remember who you are.
In your soul is the truth and the light of the stars
You are the artist and you are the art
You are the flame and the original spark
Whole universe in the space of your heart.
Remember who you are
Remember who you are.
In your soul is the truth and the light of the stars
You are the artist and you are the art
You are the flame and the original spark
Whole universe in the space of your heart

I wish every child could hear the message in this song being spoken directly to him or her, if not from the lips of their parents, then from any loving guardian, teacher, family member:
"Sons and daughters of the universe
The world rejoiced at the moment of your birth.
We celebrate when you realise your worth
Child of the universe"
Some human beings leave this world without ever once really believing this about themselves.
"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.
Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.
Lord, Please walk beside me through this day. Clear the heavy air with the lightness of Your Presence. Guide my hands and steady my heart that I may give comfort when I cannot give hope, that I may give relief when I do not have a cure, and that I may radiate Your healing peace when the limits of science, time, and the human body overwhelm us all. Amen

Sáncte Míchael Archángele, defénde nos in proélio, cóntra nequítiam et insídias diáboli ésto præsídium. Ímperet ílli Déus, súpplices deprecámur: tuque, prínceps milítiæ cæléstis, Sátanam aliósque spíritus malígnos, qui ad perditiónem animárum pervagántur in múndo, divína virtúte, in inférnum detrúde.
