We have to escape the mental trap of words like

"Unholy, Unholy",

We have to escape the mental trap

For it is just a fear trap

Just a fear trap

A fear that the circle will snap

If we widen the circle

But of course it won't.

We have to pick up our tents

And pitch it outside the circle

We have to make the unfamiliar familiar

Experience what's outside the circle

So we can bring it into the circle

Bring it in

Bring the outside inside

And make the circle wider.

Let us not be afraid the circle will snap

If we stretch it

For that is a fear trap

Nothing but a fear trap.

Instead of our camp and their camp

Let's shine a lamp

Shine a lamp.

Don't let fear stop you from widening the circle

It's time to widen the circle

It's time

It's time.
