You can’t stop the world spinning round That oil that is a-burnin’ shoulda left it in the ground From Rojava to Lancashire and soon the whole world round You can’t keep the good people down You can’t keep the people from their rights To speak their native language, to daily fight the fight To have bodily autonomy - we need to see the light You can’t keep the people from their rights The roofs are bein’ tumbled, people sleepin’ in the streets The 1% get richer we can just afford to eat When the politicians say to you there’s nothing we can do Maybe it was time we took some action Some direct action Some direct action Cause it speaks louder than words Maybe doin’ what we know is right Is the best way to be heard While they fuck about in parliament We’ll be building our new world And no one but ourselves is gonna do it for ourselves No one but ourselves We’re chokin’ on the air we breathe, there’s plastic in the sea The vegetables are patented, you pay to plant the seeds The rich are buildin’ bunkers so they can get away scot-free The government does nothin’, money to be made you see The education’s broken, the children are depressed They’re trained to be obedient, not how to be their best And when the politicians say to you there’s nothin’ we can do Maybe it was time we took some action Some direct action Some direct action Cause action gets the goods And maybe if you hadda tried you woulda seen you could Some things in life need to be felt to be truly understood And no one but ourselves is gonna do it for ourselves No one but ourselves No one but ourselves Human kinds potential is endless and unknown If you give to each just what they need and let the light be shown But to reach that stage of freedom there’s a movement to be grown And no one but ourselves is gonna do it for ourselves.

Stumble Day 04:06
Oh I will always seem to know you, fall through All the holes you seem to fall through when you Go through all the things you’ll go through Piece by piece And harmony protect you when you go So crawl if crawlings what you want to Tumble if it’s tumbling that takes you, takes you home Or somewhere good to get to, get to Love and harmony protect you when you go So run when the rhythm of life begins to take you, take you On in the way that it takes to make you break through, break through Anything you care to tumble into, into Love and harmony protect you when you go So you will know me by my vices, time goes On and I’ll be dying then, priceless so Tell all the world we’re in this crisi, oh my love Protect me from my vices, time goes on Protect me from my vices, oh my love Protect me from my vices, time goes on

The Voices 05:41
The voices, I can feel them in my bones Of all the stories that’ve ever been known The voices, So far yet so near The pain and the suffering of thousands of years The voices in in languages no longer heard The voices of people from all over the world The voices of those whose way of life was destroyed From who everything was taken that brought them joy The voices that are missing from the history books The voices of those who were overlooked We need to listen with an open heart To the voices of the world of which we’re all a part We need to listen and make some room Try to understand, and learn to tune into the voices We need to listen with an open heart To the voices of the world of which we’re all a part We need to listen and make some room Try to understand, and learn to tune into the voices Of the people as they cry The voices of the people with their fists held high The voices so bold The voices of the rebels both young and old The voices We need to listen with an open heart To the voices of the world of which we’re all a part We need to listen and make some room Try to understand, and learn to tune into the voices

We met this lying Devil Who said we were goin’ to hell No uptopia for any of us you see and None for him as well It wasn’t fear that drove this pessimist but a Cruel kind fo joy For he believed that he was Lucifer The poor unstable boy Hell, My hell Is heaven As well Hell, My hell Is heaven As well So we damned this lying devil Damned him down to hell But I have a friend who say him recently And said he’s doin’ well Said he’s in his own space now And in his own time But that we could all go visit him Someday down the line Hell, My hell Is heaven As well Hell, My hell Is heaven As well

Flickering flame draws your glance Your eyes are shining, the colours dance The soul inside is spurred to flight The old response to the firey light Upon the shoulders of those before us Feel the heat, it’s a vibrant chorus That is unlocked when fire’s spied Whose and light are qualified To keep us safe and strong and free To dream upon our own humanity The fire burns, my mind discerns Breath of wood to ash returns The energy within concealed I can see now what’s behind the veil Shadows chased away by light Now are dancing creatures bright Undefined and free of form Invention sparks within us born Spark leaps up to join its’ kin The flame without, the flame within Within the burning embers lie The inspiration of our own minds eye From hearth to thought, from earth to mind To then escape to conquer time To kindle life, the spark will fly, To live it’s light, before to die As crackling the blaze it leaps, Reaches upwards for the sky To where distant stars infernos blaze All of this reflected in your gaze Your eyes gleam, the stillness seems To rest upon your dancing dreams, The energy within concealed I can see now what’s behind the veil

Take Time 04:42
When you heart is sore open up that door Invite them through and to yourself be true When sadness knocks don’t turn them away Although it may feel like a rainy day Each one of them must have their say It’s in this way that we pray for me for you for me for you Take time to be beside yourself with glee Take time to be in your own company So embrace the river, they flow each through Windin’ into a part of you For to live is to do to feel life is to cry Cry out to the angels Why why you, me, why you, why me Take time to be beside yourself with glee Take time to be in your own company
