about

In the midst of our devastation, anger, loss;
We are not the first; we retain our hope.
It starts with a seed;
This is only the beginning.

For Joc (and Annie)

With thanks to:
Lize - you, more than probably anybody else, kept this going and made this happen.
Vos - for your ear and creativity.
Shep - as always, for getting all of this started.
Sam, Grace, Ariella, Campbell, Claire, Lani, Jack, Harry, Ash, Adela & Em - for your generous time, love, questions and listening.
Joc & Annie - for absolutely everything.

lyrics

Man, I’ve got to tell the world I just got this figured out;
No more shell to hide the pearl, I can turn this ship around.
I know my colour, my vision’s pure.
And won’t be soiled by others - of that, I’m sure.

It’s a holiday from me, and all those pretty lights,
Which for all my years I have not seen,
But tonight they’re in your eyes, and it’s finally glowing bright.

Silenced by your charity, it means the world to me.
Get me close to clarity, feeling like I control me.
I know my colour, my vision’s pure.
And won’t be soiled by others - of that, I’m sure.

It’s a holiday from me, and all those pretty lights,
Which for all my years I have not seen,
But tonight they’re in your eyes, and it’s finally glowing bright.

I know I’m not the first generation to have bright ideas and real aspirations.
I know I’m not the first generation to have bright ideas and real aspirations.
I know I’m not the first generation to have bright ideas and real aspirations.
I know I’m not the first generation, but I’m finally gonna get it right.
Finally gonna get it right.

§

It starts with a seed,
And hope grows through two,
It slowly turns into me,
And I can’t wait for you, I can’t wait for you.
