*note*
Right now the world is burning, and people are calling out everywhere for justice. I know it is scary, but this is the time that the world gets remade. Hold onto your loved ones. Do not stand for the murders of our Black siblings. Remember this is about police violence. Don’t get distracted.
I hope this song brings you comfort in uncertain times. Come make the world anew. Create with love.
Tetabiate’s Waltz
Revolution is not fought for glory
Revolution’s fought only for love
If you cannot write your own story
Don’t be looking for help from above.
The fire of God is within you
It always has been from the start
And it calls to your hands to continue
To follow the will of your heart.
Chorus:
Burn it down, Burn it down
Throw your heart on the pyre.
Burn it down, burn it down
Give your soul to the fire.
Can’t you see it is not broken
It’s doing what it’s meant to do.
And the smoke on which you are choking
Is the world that once belonged to you.
Your lips, they refuse to rain curses
Your hands hesitate on the sword
It’s not that you really fear dying
But you fear being held to your word.
There are thousands of children in cages
There are thousands of lives in the street
No one can live on these wages
If we panic, then we are all meat.
Let me sing you a song of my nation
30,000 who lived in the light
Of the sun that we all called our father
Before we were sent to the night
The 3,000 they left in the desert
To drink sand as our songs fade away
Build barbeques out of your pipeline
Burning bridges to light our own way
