about

Written for an unfinished short story about the convergence of bardic magic and media policy.

lyrics

CHORUS:
Songs—
Songs flying free
Notes rising high
From sea to sea

Under the streets, and down hotel halls
We gather to sing, we answer the call
We speak of a day when our rights have been won
When easy the words will reach to the sun

The industry suits, the government eyes
The profits they claim, that cover the lies
The stations all play what they want you to hear
But silence the ones with the power they fear

So open your soul, and reach with your mind
Your words make a bridge, the future to find
Believe in yourself and have faith in a choice
You could change the world when you raise up your voice
