[APPLAUSE]
How you guys doing?
[APPLAUSE]
You feel good?
It's an honor to be with y'all every single time.
It's such an incredible honor to be with
y'all.
Thank you.
We're in this together, y'all.
The earth, she is calling.
She's calling your name.
The earth, she is waiting.
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
Whoever told you you can't fly was afraid
of heights you'd reach if you tried.
You better free your mind 
before they illegalize thoughts.
There's a war going on.
The first casualty was truth. 
It is inside you.
The universe is counting on our belief 
that faith is more powerful than fear
and in that shifting moment,
we'll all remember why we're here.
In a world where you're assassinated
for having a dream
and the rich spend nine billion 
a year to control our ideas
and visions are televised 
so things aren't what they seem.
We gotta believe in a world where there's room enough for everyone to breathe
'cause reality is made of 7 billion thoughts who made up their mind what's real and what's not.
So I stopped believing in false idols 
of  war, greed and hate.
It's not worth my faith.
And my mind's dedicated to justice.
And my soul devoted to love.
And love is God, and God is truth, 
and truth is you,
and you are me, 
and I am everything.
[APPLAUSE]
And everything is nothing,
and nothing is the birthplace of creation.
And transformation is possible,
and you are proof.
And the most powerful tool 
in the hands of the oppressor
is what's inside our heads.
And the most dangerous weapon to combat the  deception lives inside our chest,
holds a mirror to your hearts.
What does it reflect?
What will be the message of the legacy we've left?
We were born right now for a reason.
We can be whatever we give ourselves the power to be.
And right now we need dream weavers,
bridge builders, soothsayers,
light bearers, food growers,
wound healers, trail blazers, life lovers,
[APPLAUSE]
peace makers.
Give what you most deeply desire to give.
Every moment you are choosing to live 
or you are waiting.
Why would a flower hesitate to open? Now is the only moment.
Raindrop let go,
become the ocean.
Possibility is as wide as the space 
we create to hold it.
Open your eyes.
Take a look around.
Open your hands.
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
We were born right now for a reason.
The reason is up to you.
Just think, if so much is controlled by so few,  imagine how much so many of us could all do.
When you consider this system
 runs off of our fuel,
if we stop running along, 
we see just who's ruling who.
[APPLAUSE]
The game don't exist
if we don't play by its rules.
[APPLAUSE]
So don't be scared of the spark.
In the spell of great darkness or a fade 
of the light in the moment of dawning,
or the heights you will reach 
when you rise to your calling,
and release all your rain.
Call it flying or falling.
Let go of your wanting,
and give in to your longing,
to live free of possession and full of belonging to the intricate, infinance.
We're all a part of the web 
that you wove in a dream you forgotten
was the creator awakening into our conscience.
Condensation of vapor into a droplet of water.
The earth, she is calling.
She is calling your name.
The earth, she is waiting.
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
What are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?
[APPLAUSE]
Thank you, Family.
Thank you, Family.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
So right quick, we've been doing this work.
[APPLAUSE]
Thank you so much.
We've been doing this work for 17 years.
We've been doing this work for 17 years, creating art that is medicine for our times,
and we want you to take it and share it and spread it not because of us,
not because we want our name to blow up but because we need a medicine in this time right now.
because we need messages that contradict those messages right now.
We're vessels, that's all we are
and we are very clear about that.
So take this. We have an album,
we have a book.
We actually have it right outside so come talk to us, take it to your classrooms.
we're developing all the time curriculums, and animations, and hip-hop songs,
and poetry and all the things so you take it and use it, okay? So take it and use it.
[APPLAUSE]
Could we get some love for Claudia Cuentas and Tonya Abernathy.
[APPLAUSE]
Seeds are gifts from my ancestors passed down for millennia
primarily by indigenous women, 
braided into the crowns of African agriculturists
before boarding transatlantic slave ships as social security for an uncertain and perilous journey.
Seeds have been traded and saved by farmers and homesteaders
to preserve the biodiversity of regionally adapted, disease-resistant, resilient stories.
The sacred gifts, these
blueprints of life, are being weaponized
by biotech industry and agribusiness,
eradicating diversity with terminator technology,
herbicides, neonicotinoids,and ruthless assault on the community that cares for seeds,
the soil, the sun, the water, pollinators, farmers, indigenous communities.
So may we all remember to
save seeds, to protect seeds,
to plant seeds and trade seeds,
and to remember that we are seeds.
Someone was dreaming of you with a womb full of water and seeds and stars,
a drum skin stretched over a full moon.
One heart beat becomes two.
One seed becomes a hundred.
We are the result of countless love stories in unnumbered feats of overcoming.
They tried to bury our bodies.
They didn't know we were seeds.
They tried to cage our spirit 
but we're destined to be free.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
They paving paradise.
Turning up the fahrenheit.
Are we stewards of the earth
or are we parasites?
When we kill to survive,
ask me why my people die.
Soon as we get somewhere,
the master go and press rewind.
Don't sleep 'cause now's the time.
Open your eyes, read the signs.
Can't colonize this mind.
We won't compromise this time.
Take back the turf
when half the war is waged inside.
See the man in the mirror?
We wipe [INAUDIBLE] in his eyes.
Tried to bury our bodies.
They didn't know we were seeds.
They tried to cage our spirit
but we're destined to be free.
[INAUDIBLE] a mass extraction.
Think of life as a transaction.
To amass the wealth they stacking.
[INAUDIBLE] mass distraction.
Don't matter where you're from,
or who you have become.
Playing the role you were told you could,
and your soul could be trapped.
[INAUDIBLE]
Practice your magic.
Preach what you practice.
[INAUDIBLE]
Because we're intergalactic.
Capitalism [INAUDIBLE] are backwards.
[INAUDIBLE]
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
They tried to bury our bodies.
They didn't know we were seeds.
They tried to cage our spirit
but we're destined to be free.
[APPLAUSE]
Thank you, Bioneers.
Thank you, Family.
