Description: I'm not a particularly political person, by which I mean I'd sooner just not get involved in conflict, but I realise that, at times, things happen outside your control which will you to say something or do something. I got a comment on my last song from 'gersing' asking me if I'd sing a song for the monks and people of Burma. At first I misunderstood the comment but then it clicked and I felt compelled to offer something.. anything. I know this song is going to change nothing; and I'm cautious calling it a protest song as I don't understand the situation fully (and I wouldn't want to upset anyone), but this is a tune I wrote in response to being repressed (I'm whatever guise) and how beautiful 'freedom' really is. I don't think anyone will ever understand that term fully but by singing and writing and thinking and speaking we can come somewhere close I'm sure. As a disclaimer, I'd say that, personally, the chords and melody are arbitrary; merely the carrier of the sentiment... Changing the subject ever so slightly I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone that's shown support; it's overwhelming. An apology to anyone I've not yet responded to.. I've never been very good at juggling my time but I will be in touch. Thanks again... _________________ Certainty In Freedom If I had the will to talk I wonder if you'd give a thought To what I had to say - help make it go away Cos there's certainty in freedom And in that we must believe in Cos I saw on the news today If I saw you in the street now Would I look the other way? I hope I'm strong enough to say - help make it go away When all you see is hatred Spirits crushed and souls deflated Easy to leave it for another day Peace is pushing for love Love is leading the way You should follow its path Darkness leads you astray Peace is pushing for love Love is leading the way So this, my only voice to speak My message strong, my tone is weak I find it hard to say - help make it go away And if I come across obtuse I urge you now to cut the noose Don't leave it for another day Peace is pushing for love Love is leading the way You should follow its path Darkness leads you astray Peace is pushing for love Love is leading the way If I had the will to talk I wonder if you'd give a thought To what I had to say - help make it go away Cos there's certainty in freedom And in that we must believe in Cos I saw on the news today Peace is pushing for love Love is leading the way You should follow its path Darkness leads you astray Peace is pushing for love Love is leading the way _____________________ Peace
