lyrics

Alessia’s song


CHORUS
As the river flows into the sea
I’m part of you, you’re part of me
The tide is low, the tide runs high
A life awaits, we laugh, sometimes we cry
The circle turns, the moon and sun
We are many, we are one

Some of the things that brighten the day
The blackbird’s song, the scent of new mown hay
The traffic rumble, the rattling rails
Marsh harrier’s search as he swoops and sails
The voice of a child as she laughs and cries
The lap of water, the arc of the sky

Some of the things that darken the night
A rain of bombs and the migrant’s flight
The lies that stoke the populist fire
The truth – then they call you liar, liar
The poison we pump into the gasping air
Injustice fuelled when life should be so much more fair

CHORUS

But now that you’re here the day seems fair
The soft wind blows in the summer air
I hear your laughter, it shines like light
If the past is dark the future’s bright
You can live your hopes and dream your dreams
Life’s what it is, don’t be fooled by how it sometimes seems

And this is the world we give to you
Some of it’s lies, some of it’s true
Yours is the future, ours will be past
One fades away, one’s built to last
And life goes on with its crazy haze
And we all do our best in our different ways

CHORUS

I love the world we come from
That’s why I wrote this new song
For you
