Without borders or gates, orders or states, there was so much we shared,
So they poisoned our dreams, with their greed and their schemes. We had them running scared.
For a moment in time, bizarre and sublime, we though we could change it all.
Till a witch’s dark curse, mean and perverse, brought about nightfall.
Waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting.
Waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting.
Alone in the darkness in anticipation, no starlight or moonshine.
Too many years spent in procrastination without any clear sign.
Losing direction we found isolation, falling in line.
Then a moment of rapture in deep contemplation. A buzz on the grapevine.
Here, waiting for the sound of the dawn.
Here, waiting for the sound of the dawn.
Far underground where the roots have been growing, the power of the good earth.
Who could have dreamt that the seeds we were sowing would bring forth new life?
The bigoted sleeping with none of them knowing its real worth.
No cynical screeching or nihilist crowing can slow down its rebirth.
Here, listening to the sound of the dawn.
Here, listening to the sound of the dawn.
Joining together, the movement is stirring. The light of a new day.
The landscape is changing, the world rearranging to nature’s way.
No distortions, or blurring, the message we’re sharing will lead us astray.
Try all they may, there will be no deterring. We’re here to stay.
Here, dancing to the sound of the dawn.
Here, dancing to the sound of the dawn.
Reconnect, reconnect, reconnect, reconnect, reconnect.
Reconnect, reconnect, reconnect, reconnect, reconnect.
Here, dancing to the sound of the dawn.
Here, dancing to the sound of the dawn.
Here, dancing to the sound of the dawn.
Here, dancing to the sound of the dawn.

A Vision Left Unseen
07:00

What a shame it was a dream,
What’s life without a dream?
Not the way it should have been,
On the threshold of a dream.
A vision left unseen,
Like a dream within a dream,
Denounced as too extreme,
When what we have is so extreme!
We just needed more to care,
And dare to be aware,
When change was in the air.
So, instead,
We’re left with a nightmare.

Waves

The blue expanse, where reflections dance
Draws our gaze though the shimmering haze,
We imagine where the shoreline once had been,
As the waves roll in.
With a gentle roar on the shifting shore,
On golden sand lying hand in hand,
Dreaming of how it might have been,
As the waves roll in.
As the waves roll in.
We say our goodbyes drowned by gulls’ piercing cries,
Under darkening skies the sea levels rise,
For the ending is about to begin,
As the waves roll in.
As the waves roll in.
As the waves roll in…
