[Chant]
This is what I preach, this is what I pray
We will change the world, we will save the day
This is what I preach, this is what I pray
We will change the world, we will save the day
This is what I preach, this is what I pray
We will change the world, we will save the day
This is what I preach, this is what I pray
We will change the world, we will save the day
[Intro 1]
And now we will hear from the elders of Natural City
Each one representing a district of our land
We will begin with one of your very own
And our latest addition to the council
Authentik
[Verse 1]
We chase the bag
But we gotta get back
To our purpose and plan
Where this whole thing began
Applying pressure
Releasing this depression
Inspiring the world with this connection, yeah
Believe in yourself and push through
Challenges come and go but you gotta continue
What you need you’ve always had
See the vision, now it’s time to make it last
[Chorus 1]
This is what I preach, this is what I pray
We will change the world, we will save the day
Never diminish what you know is true
You have the power to make something new
This is what I preach, this is what I pray
We will change the world, we will save the day
This is your life
Don’t ever let ‘em turn down your light
[Intro 2]
Next
We will have an invocation from our spiritual guide
And oracle
Seychelle Elise
[Verse 2]
It’s like a whisper
That sends the calm
That same whisper
Brings quiet to the storm
The ease the spirit brings
The reason why we sing
Forever will you reign inside of me
[Chorus 2]
This is what I preach, this is what I pray
We will change the world, we will save the day
I will sing of your goodness
My heart will give you reverence
This is what I preach, this is what I pray
We will change the world, we will save the day
I was made to worship
Made to sing your praise
[Intro 3]
We welcome our city’s renowned healer
And chief council member
Lenny Harold
[Verse 3]
Who are you
What are you waiting for
To be you
You must believe you’re more
Than you are
This world is not enough
You’re a star
Tailored by the cosmos
When others say you do the most
Remind them of the stardust you were made from
[Chorus 3]
This is what I preach, this is what I pray
We will change the world, we will save the day
Tell yourself with purpose in your lungs
You’re exactly where you belong
This is what I preach, this is what I pray
We will change the world, we will save the day
You’re a wonder
And wonder shall you be
[Intro 4]
With a word of encouragement and passion
From our Oasis district
Lauren Ashley
[Verse 4]
Everyone ain’t chosen
Remember who you are
Step back into your promise
Your limit ain’t the stars
Replenish every glass you fill
One serving is enough
Said it feels so good
When you walk into your purpose like you should
[Chorus 4]
This is what I preach, this is what I pray
We will change the world, we will save the day
They say that time ain’t on your side
But that’s for you to decide
This is what I preach, this is what I pray
We will change the world, we will save the day
You’re worth it all simply because you’re here
[Intro 5]
And finally
We welcome back our architect and founder
To give us closing remarks to celebrate this auspicious occasion
Please rise for our leader
A-natural
[Verse 5]
From the edge of time and space
When the stars would take their shape
A song from deep within declared your name
So little did you know
That all those years ago
I called you to this very time and place
[Chorus 5]
This is what I preach, this is what I pray
We will change the world, we will save the day
We were made to shift the paradigm
That’s why we lift our voices to the sky
This is what I preach, this is what I pray
We will change the world, we will save the day
The gifts from you which we have received
We give them back to you naturally
[Chant]
This is what I preach, this is what I pray
We will change the world, we will save the day
This is what I preach, this is what I pray
We will change the world, we will save the day
This is what I preach, this is what I pray
We will change the world, we will save the day
This is what I preach, this is what I pray
We will change the world, we will save the day
