The A Team —
You and I are on the same team —
The team to transform our suffering,
The team to improve our wellbeing,
The team to help everyone be happy.
The team that finds ways to help each other,
The team that aspires to peace and harmony.
There is no team better than this one,
There is no team in a higher league,
There is no team that can gain more points,
There is no team with a better prize.
We are the team that protects others —
By taking care of our pain and suffering.
We are on the team that sees the bigger picture —
For we can recognise our deep connections.
We are on the team that is connected by a human trait —
The loving-kindness that runs deep within everyone.
So now you know you are on the A Team —
The team that cannot be bettered,
The team of great compassion,
The team of love and understanding.
You will be joining an amazing membership —
That includes the greatest people of history,
The greatest people of the present time,
The greatest people of times to come.
Be proud of your membership!
Although it was free to join —
It requires a commitment to our humanity,
It requires a commitment to love everybody,
It requires a commitment to take care of ourselves,
And help others to transform their suffering.
We have the support of each other —
We are the team unconquered.
We are the most beautiful,
We are the bravest,
We are the great protectors —
We are the A team!
