about

I wrote the lyrics for this song shortly after Donald Trump 'won' the US election.

lyrics

Do you feel up against the entire world
and you can’t see change down the line?

When your faith is completely blown away,
what’s left to say except goodnight.

Then, you see the stars that shine
Years ago they sent such light
as if to reach your eyes

Step outside into the air we’ve sold away
hoping our cash will pay for tomorrow’s lives.

There, you’ll see the stars that shine.
Years ago they sent their light

Before our time came and went
Before industry had lives to spend
Before we copyrighted seeds
Before jealousy paired with greed
Long before they sold it all
Before we thought of building walls
Licking hands that never feed
Watching brothers as they bleed
We were really nothing then,
We’re nothing still, let’s not pretend
That the universe was made for us
A playground that we’ve let rust
We’ve tossed away
Our world of blue
So hold me now,
And i’ll hold you
And let our iris try to find
The ageless ancient stars at night
A gentle glow, with no intent,
To find our eyes, their journey ends tonight
