lyrics

I find it hard, To speak of what I really know.
The words and language are not lost,
But they do not easily show.

Beginning now is the time, we need to speak out clear.
The knowledge that is of the heart,
Is so very needed here.

Since all the time to speak is nearly gone
There is no place to simply linger on.
Since all we hold dear is in our hands
Clarity and purpose stand.

Malpractice is so very much abound
The stewardship of the land has lapsed
And chaos is all around.

To sing of hope is not a simple thing
That is for fools and imbecile
Who always look for spring.

I have a friend who speaks of a black night.
A time when darkness will shut out the light
A time of brightness being held at bay
Until the birth of a new day.

Companions there is a need for urgency
There is a need for prayer and action
A need for dream and prophecy

Companions, I sing of other days
I sing of other places and of times
Both close and far away

The world has seen the likes of these before
The past is closed and held behind it’s heavy door
But new doors open up in front I tell
Recomensa, all manner of things shall be well.
