about

“Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world that yields most painfully to change.” - Robert Kennedy (quoted by Adam Schiff, Trump Impeachment Hearings, Jan. 24, 2020)

lyrics

I'm Singing to You

The time for change has come again
The old guard let us down
They turned to face the wall instead
Of standing against the clown

The evils wrought by selfish men
In seeking to infect
The passions of the people have
Caused reason to defect
And mercy to reject
With nothing to correct

And I’m singing to you
Forgotten children
And I’m singing to you
The overburdened
And I’m singing to you
Who have no courage
Don’t let your decent hearts be discouraged

The lessons of the past forgot
The future turned to clay
When leaders charged with freedom’s guard
Have nothing left to say

In case your face is worn with shame
From standing silently
There is a place to go to find
An answer to your plea
A sacred remedy--
Or a roadside reverie?

And I’m singing to you
Forgotten children
And I’m singing to you
The overburdened
And I’m singing to you
Who have no courage
Don’t let your decent hearts be discouraged




And turn and turn and turn again
Until your face turns blue
Was this not what you imagined when
You measured out your due?

There is nowhere to hide away
From darkness coming through
The truth is what we think we see
When painting darker hues
When all is set to lose
Or is this just a ruse?

And I’m singing to you
Forgotten children
And I’m singing to you
The overburdened
And I’m singing to you
Who have no courage
Don’t let your decent hearts be discouraged
