Overwhelm of These Days
When looking for inspiration for a song, ended became swept up in the news, and These Days reflects that sense of overwhelm. It’s important to see the light and hope, and I wish you all a positive day, no matter what is going on.
Verse
Winter crisis is coming,
Climate crisis has come.
Leaders keep profiteering,
But Earth’s profits are none.
What are we here for?
Water floods Pakistan,
Russian tanks flood Ukraine,
China threatens Taiwan,
Europe’s desperate for rain.
How long are we here for?
Chorus
I know you don’t think it’s right,
I know, cause I feel the same.
Don’t know when the ends in sight,
But I hope that we’ll remain.
It may be a chink of light,
But I’ll sail there anyway.
If one day, they ask me ‘why’?
I don’t want to be to blame…
For these days.
They deserve much better,
Then these days.
We must help each other,
Through these days.
