Thought I would draw your attention to David Gray and his song birds without wings. You can not help but wonder how long we have left on this planet if we keep up at the rate we are going. We can not agree on much these days. Carbon Credits - Carbon Quotas, what will it be, what will become of us. Lately I noticed that I my priorities are changing and I am better able to come to grips with our situation. If you need help doing the same read the lyrics to the song, I bet you will start to understand.
wishing that something would happen
a change in this place
'cos I'm tearing off the fancy wrapping
find an empty package
take for a while
your trumpet from your lip
loosen your hold loosen your grip
on your old ways
that have fallen out of step
in a changing time
hoist a new flag
hoist a new flag
angry sun burn down
judging us all
guilty of neglect and disrespect
and thinking small
and death by boredom
and death by greed
if we can't stop taking
more than we need
but across the fractured landscape
I see the same things
tired ideas
birds without wings
birds without wings
birds without wings
and these are just thoughts
of lack lustre times
I've no interest
in excuses you can find
like you've had a hard day
now you're too tired to care
now you're too tired to care
you've had a hard day
well across the fractured landscape
I see the same things
tired ideas broken values
many with the notion
that to share is to lose
a hollow people bound by a lack
of imagination and too much looking back
without the courage to give a new thing a chance
grounded by this ignorance
(and the cat comes)
We're just,
birds without wings
birds without wings
birds without wings
