Open the Window (John C. Campbell Folk School 2019)

June 24, 2019 By Elise Witt

24 Jun

new verses by An Impromptu Glorious Chorus™

@ John C. Campbell Folk School 2019

OPEN THE WINDOW

Changes are a comin’, but that’s understood

Changes are a comin’ and it’s gonna be good

 

Too much killing of those in blue

Honor those who protect me and you

 

We need to save the bees or the flowers won’t come

And if we poison the waters, then we know we’re all done

 

Hordes of working people living on the street

Richest nation ever but not enough to eat

 

Too much distraction always online

Stuck again in traffic, no quiet time

 

Our cell phones are dead but we really don’t care

Just singing with our friends, we’ve got a song to share!
