THE SUN ALSO RISES
[ traditional folk ]
The sun also rises
Yeah, the sun returns again
There may be hate, there may be war
But there will be peace in the end
There’s no need for confusion
There is one God up above
We don’t need more religion
We need more peace and love
So, do unto others
As you would have them do to you
The sum of what matters
In our heart we know it’s true
No one is an island
We can hurt or we can help
The solution now is love not hate
And it begins with our own self
Ask not for whom the bell tolls
It tolls for you and tolls for me
The answer loud is coming down
From the stars of eternity
We may be rich, we may be poor
We all need help from above
We need a friend to lend a hand
And we all need someone to love
So, do unto others
As you would have them do to you
Is there really another better way
To turn our gray skies back to blue?
From the rock of ages and good news pages
Buried deep on history’s shelf
This is the sum of the matter
To love our neighbor as our self
Yeah, no one is an island
We must work together to be free
Ask not for whom the bell tolls, now
It tolls for you and tolls for me
Ask not for whom the bell tolls, now
It tolls for you and tolls for me
Ask not for whom the great bell tolls
It tolls for you and tolls for me *
“I think the environment should be put in the category of our national security.
Defense of our resources is just as important as defense abroad. Otherwise,
what is there to defend?”
--Robert Redford
*FootNote: Inspired by American author Ernest Hemingway, Welsh/English poet John Donne,
the unknown author of Ecclesiastes and the foundation of Human and Civil rights, as

Prescott, Arizona.
