about
This very hopeful song actually came out of feeling totally helpless at the current state of the world. I wrote it in Vietnam the day after the American election. I was on tour and surrounded by beautiful friends, so I should have been very happy, but I couldn't help but feel the weight of what had just happened.
We are in chaos right now. People are afraid and confused. We have a reality TV star in charge of one of the most powerful countries in the world. We have Brexit. Austerity, Division, and Fear. More importantly than all of those together we have run-away Climate Change that doesn't show much sign of stopping.
My only hope is that perhaps it had to get this far for us all to wake up and make the changes necessary.
I really believe we have the opportunity to create real and tangible change through our intentions, actions, our tolerance, opening up dialogue between people we disagree with and coming to common understandings.
I hope that we can learn to understand how connected we are to the cosmos and this earth and how taking care of her is for our benefit not hers.
Be the change, keep fighting, keep loving.
Oh and enjoy the song x
lyrics
This morning waking it don't feel real
Am I sure that really happened?
Was truth so easily concealed?
Lessons so easily forgotten
And in this moment I do feel
This aint the start but it's a point of turning
This is insanity revealed
We must awaken to our calling
We're on our way we're coming home soon
Aint it a shame we're pushed so far before we move
Hey what a way to start a revolution
This is the real love evolution
There is a freedom to the bluebird
She does not pander to the drama
She simply sings the song of loves word
She is present to her power
We're on our way we're coming home soon
Aint it a shame we're pushed so far before we move
Hey what a way to start a revolution
This is the real love evolution
Get out our way we're coming home soon
And it's love that's coming home to roost
Because the truth is we are powerful
And we all know what we have got to do
We're on our way and we'll be home soon
In this game we're pushed and pulled but we can choose
Hey what a way to start a revolution
This is the Real Love Evolution
