Pictorial Guide To

Absolute Reality
(MacDonald and Peters)

You may be rich, you may be poor
You may have nothing in this world at all
You may be black, you maybe white
You may be a prisioner in your own times
You may be lost, you may be found
You may have been beaten up and knocked to the ground
You may have belief, suffer from deceit
Or you just might be blind

You may affect the truth, you may be seen as false
You may be a king or a vagabond
You may be up, you may be down
You may sit in judgement with the rest of the clowns
You may have love, you may have hate
You may be the President Of The United States

 But even you, you can’t sit and hide
While the world’s resources die

This is ABSOLUTE REALITY
We are all the cause, the solution to

You may be in control, You may be controlled
You may stay down ’til you do as you’re told
You may work hard, you may never work at all
You may be accused but you don’t know what for
You may be innocent or partly to blame
You may just be afraid in this power mad age
But there’s one thing we all must find
Some peace in our time

This is ABSOLUTE REALITY
If I may speak of truth this is absolute reality

The absolute time, the absolute place
The absolute now for the absolute solution

It’s ABSOLUTE REALITY now
