Decenter ourselves, let’s get punk
Avoid complacency, let’s get drunk
Don’t get caught in comfort’s lure
Open up, explore the unknown for sure

Expand ourselves, explore new terrain
Discover new perspectives, a common ground to gain
Find homeland and kinship in foreign lands
Grow, learn, change, listen to foreign stories first hand

Decentering thoughts may scare
But hold on tight, don’t be unaware
Entertain new ideas, no matter the cost
Liminal space lies freedom, a new self is not lost

Central Park walks and grand museums
Avant-garde and Dada exhibits, minds expanding
Questioning the nature of art and its meaning
Liberation for audience and artist, choice freeing

Decenter yourself, the world’s not what you knew
Diversity of culture, lifestyle, and opportunity to view
Worldview shifting, tribalism forming
Putting power back into people, community forming

Scarcity leads to control, abundance to sharing
A shift towards the latter, people no longer caring
For commonplace power, decenter and examine
Explore the uncharted, see and be seen, no need to contain

Decenter ourselves, let’s get punk
More authentic, less fearful, less junk
Open our hearts, our minds, our souls
Let’s decenter, explore, and make ourselves whole.
