We are a nation divided
By race and class and colour and by creed
By what we hear and by what we see
by what we read and by what we believe
We are a nation derided
but there is power in a union
we must renew the us we see in them
a path we’ve walked before and will walk again
There Must Be Another Way
Sometimes I struggle to say things
to raise my head above the parapet
preach the truth that there is good in us yet
it seems so simple to forget…
Sometimes I struggle to see things
that another might find beautiful
if you find you are moved at all
raise your voice and try to move us all
There Must Be Another Way

Black Air and siren songs
Fill the darkening sky
Blue lights and amber tongues
Illuminate the night
Load them in and pile them high
Smoke billows in the sky
Greed stokes the flames
And what remains, but a list of names
Red Hands and Silver Spoons
Serve a thousand lies
Then built
A funeral pyre that’s 24 floors high
Loads them in and pile them high
Smoke billows in the sky
Greed stokes the flames
And what remains but a list of names

Will somebody somebody somebody somebody show me
How we write our own mythologies
Will anybody anybody anybody read me
The myth that is writ for me
If it’s not this, what the hell are we living for?
I miss you most when the evening draws in
Will somebody somebody somebody somebody pull me
From the path i have worn myself
I’m honestly getting so sick of you seeing right through me
And straight into someone else
Tell me you know I am more than this
I miss you most when the evening draws in
When the evening draws in
Is when I miss you most
Somebody somebody show me somebody show me how
Somebody somebody show me somebody show me now
Anybody anybody tell me anybody tell me now

We’re told that we turn ourselves around
You’re all that I’d turn back for
You’re all that I’d turn back for
Forever, or until our days unwind
Whatever happens first
I would drink from a thousand springs
And never quench my thirst
I would write, if I had the time
To fall upon a verse
But for now, I know you wouldn't mind,
That I can’t find the words to say...
You are the lightness that helps me not to fade away
You share the weight when I feel it hanging over me
You are the lightness that helps me not to fade away
You are the likeness of everything I ought to be
You’re all that I’d back for
We’re told that we turn ourselves around
You’re all that I’d turn back for
