NOTES:
In
late 2004 my good friend and musical comrade of Dancing Mist,
Bright Magick Elena Hoffrichter e-mailed me a poem she had written
called "Tell Me Again". I immediately knew I would set
it to music. In March and April of this year I adapted the poem
and made a song out of it.
- Tell me again it’s
going to be all right
- A shadow eclipses the
light from the world...
- Foreboding grows like a
cancer in my heart
- Truth is silenced
while lies are
believed.
- I hear the masses
singing all the way to their slaughter
- Never even knowing that
they were deceived
-
- Tell me again it’s
going to be all right
-
- With bombs exploding
wherever you look
- The young ones are dying
before they have lived
- Sacrificed all in the
name of freedom
- How bravely, how proudly
they die as they die
- While other innocents
who we call the enemy
- Die just the same in the
name of their freedom
- Praying to their own
Gods just like you and I.
-
- Tell me again it’s
going to be all right
-
- Deforestation’s
spreading, and jungles turn to sand
- The air hangs poisonous
over the land
- Glaciers recede as the
wild ones disappear….
- Day after day less pure
water to drink
- The planet’s resources
continue to shrink
- Storm after storm - in
fury they strike
- Epidemics rage through
all countries alike
-
- Yea, tell me again
it’s going to be all right.
-
- Tell me how much more
will this Earth allow
- Of ravaging and
plundering and bleeding her dry
- Ignorance and greed
tearing holes in the sky
- The last of the oceans,
the guardians of life,
- Are everyday being
despoiled and defiled
- Only a fool ever poisons
his own well
- Will we survive?
We may yet live to tell…
-
- Tell me again it’s
going to be all right
- And I will pray with all
my soul
- That you are right.
-
- May we come to our
senses and all see the light
- Tell me again that
it’s going to be alright
- Tell me again it’ll be
alright
- Yea, tell me again –
alright…
- (Out of the shadow, out
of the shadow
- Into the light!)
