Song # 12
Uncovered with Cynthia Wolff I will hopefully get one more song done before the end of Feb (I have another collab that I have promised so I had better!)
Last weekend they had a whole weekend of "Skirmishes". This is were somebody hosts an hour of intense songwriting. They publish a topic and people write a song, record and publish in an hour! I wrote something really bad..(I guess it takes practice..I wont post it here) but someone called Cynthia Wolff wrote a wonderful lyric that really spoke to me because it was quite close to the bone to what has happened to me (and many many others). So I offered to put her lyric to music and this is the result.
I am drifting. A country without law.
my unprotected skin Worn and torn and raw
Exposed and vulnerable Pulled from my home
Taken from my country Left alone to roam
Bombs bursting Bricks tumbling
Down Down Down
All around me now history
Down Down Down Down Down
Underneath the night sky No bed to call my own
Had to flee my homeland Left alone to roam
What gives you the right To treat man this way
Uncovered and exposed Homeless left to stray
Gone is everything Our pride our dignity
Where lies the blame for this inhumanity
Where lies the blame
