about

In such an argumentative angry atmosphere
in the world this song wishes and asks for someone to lead and put everything into one harmonious perspective, a direction, a song we can all sing as with one voice

lyrics

Who Will Write The Words
If I could write words like /Bob Dylan....
I’d write about how the times are a changin’...again How this is a ‘moment’... in our world...and
This ‘moment’ may... not ever come again...Again
I’d write about people in power being above the law ... us all,

Who lie and cheat and fool
For their own gain
, ... insane
, who see power as a game
Play with the world in dangerous ways
If I could write words like Odetta...or Phil Ochs
I’d write words that empower us all to mend our ways
... of our days.
Who will write the words That cut through it all
.... stand... tall.
If I could write words like Martin Luther King Jr. or Buffy Saint Marie I’d write about all the needless suffering,
...Again
I’d speak out in words, maybe not just my own,
But words at the heart of all this darkness
Words which shed light but, time after time, after time, after time Are so often ignored and tossed aside
I may never write words that ever make a difference But this moment may not...ever... come again
Never give up on each other, listenin’ to each other,
Compassion as the action
Gather up our voices
So we all
Senseless wars, Disrespect for one another, all the Displaced Children..
Of a Wounded earth, Set to Rise up and Lash back Angrily
Who will write the words
That cut through it all
Gather up our voices
So we all.... stand... tall.
Who will write the words
That cut through it all
Gather up our voices
So we all.... stand... tall
