lyrics
This world we promised you through books and songs and stories
This world of polar bears, rainforests, and coral reefs
It's not quite how things are today; it's more like history.
We just never knew quite how to say it.
I wish that I could tell you
That this was news to me.
I wish that I could say that this was all a big surprise
We hadn't lived our whole lives with it staring in our eyes.
Truth is that we've seen it coming for so many years.
We heard it too, we shut our eyes and then we blocked our ears.
We wanted you to see the world as it was
But now it's time you knew that it's not coming back.
You wanted blue skies, birds and frogs and whales.
At least on good days we can breathe without a mask.
One of the finest albums of the first decade of the 21st century. Michael Sanchez is perhaps the world's most underrated songwriter. Levi Fuller & the Library
It seems to me that music has to rediscover and reinforce something that, in my youth (pre Nixon, Reagan, Thatcher, Blair) was a given; it has to become the keeper of "the truth" again...I know music can be a powerful tool for the unshakeable values of humanity...it has to keep the flame again;
BOW seems to have risen to that challenge...I am old now and this world belongs to the young...use this music to change it for the better and keep on doing it! John Cratchley
