Sea Change
What the heck?!! We’ve been dropped into serious times, dangerous times. Suddenly our very ways of life are being challenged. Our values and our freedoms are in jeopardy. It’s hard not to feel stunned and numb, on pause. How tempting to bury our heads in the sand And hope we survive the coming 4 years. But it’s no fun to feel discouraged and powerless, As we shake our heads in denial and disgust. Maybe it’s time to rev up our resistance mode, Start playing music from the 60s and 70s, Fan to life the embers of our rebellious selves, And stand up to authority with truth and courage. Hard times bring people together, And together we can do so much more than alone. Singing songs of freedom and justice, Working for the good of our communities. Instead of being spurred into discouragement Let’s be spurred into action, into hope and light Let the challenges of the times make us rise up Ready to work for what’s good for us all All over the world, working together Remembering w
