See the starlings at dawn Willows sway in the breeze Sunshine beyond mountains Your hope delights the world Your thoughts fly in the clouds Your acts will plow our earth
Poet, leader, dreamer, actor Engage, do not languish For those so well endowed What do they know of Man Do they know our desire Faith, happiness, sorrow, hope, hurt
They shape our thoughts, act Unconsciously - we must Grab all ' them by the horns Overcome our distress Then will you walk so tall And proud that all will follow you
"Ophelia, walk with me I know I have nothing to say You are an old friend, as You are, slip into the beyond My feelings disappear Like old friends in the mist"
But in the street, corridors of Power where the world turns There is no time to walk It's our joy must take them By surprise, and launch them Toward their hidden hopes
Go march then where you wish Street, office, commune or business Wherever you inspire Give that push, contradict Apathy, unconscious Where status-quo will imprison
Inspired by: Sing or Die, 1989, by: Courage of Lassie from Vancouver, Canada. The poem Ophélie (with an e) was, however, written by Arthur Rimbaud in 1870. |
