about

Single ahead of new record coming out later this year. A song written about experiences of being at an environmental camp in England, supporting a village in Yorkshire who didn't want a fracking site built there. On Friday night's a protest choir would assemble at the site gates ans sing together, one of many actions that causes the contractor to withdraw the project.

I want to see a world where people are primarily concerned with the health of each other and the planet. This is the way to peace I believe.

lyrics

There are times when the peace we know is left unspoken and hearts are broken
and the seeds we have sown lay overgrown
By some decisions made that come from fear and thoughts unclear
so we return to her to clear the way

With open hearts and open eyes we wish to live our lives

Oh friends that we can stand
And reach out for each other’s hands
live and let our hearts make plans
oh that we can stand
and Oh friends that we can sing
and gather this offering
and feel together what this can bring
Oh that we can sing

There are times when the peace we show we show in silence to heal the violence
and hear for our inner guidance we know is there
And there are tines when we use our voice we make words and take the choice
to be heard through the noise to show our care

With open hearts and open eyes we wish to live our lives

Oh friends that we can stand
And reach out for each other’s hands
live and let our hearts make plans
oh that we can stand
and Oh friends that we can sing
and gather this offering
and feel together what this can bring
Oh that we can sing
