about

This track was inspired by two pieces of writing. Much credit to where it is due: Clarissa Pinkola Estes 'Letter to a Young Activist' (www.grahameb.com/pinkola_estes.htm) and W.B. Yeats 'The Second Coming' (www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43290/the-second-coming). A special mention to ALisa Starkweather (new.alisastarkweather.com) for the 'in the roots' image: (eleanorbrown.bandcamp.com/track/in-the-roots-we-are-together-single)

lyrics

With the coming of the dawn and a turning spiral / hold on steady when the tide is rising / people get ready in a changing climate / falcon in the gyre cries wider wider / When the road is long and the walls need climbing / living in a world of itself devouring / watching a looming shadow rising / now is not a time for despair and hiding /’Cos we were made for this, yes / we’ve been waiting for this time / in the roots we’re gathering / in the deeps we find our tribe / oh, it’s happening the people are a-gathering / for earth and all humanity /we’re coming back to life / Things fall apart, the centre cannot hold / be the bridges where the love prevails / things fall apart, the centre cannot hold / be the edges, where the hope sets sail / O love is a radical way to walk and hope is a powerful choice of course / Yes love is a radical way to walk and hope is a powerful choice, it’s yours / chorus / Oh, it’s happening, the people are a-gathering we’re standing for each other and we’re standing for our lives. . .
