Who Has The Right?
by @jamkar
Liner Notes
Here is my social protest song for this FAWM. @russiasaturn is working on vocals.
Lyrics
Who has the right to snuff out a poet? Who has the right to gun down a nurse? Who'll be the first to stop all this violence? Now that due process is lost. Chorus: Every day, we're diving deeper in a stall. In every way, closer to democracy's fall But under this surface, I have a fear That our freedom will go Oh don't leave us now Don't leave us in this hour
We see a threat against all nations Especially here in our home sweet home Rising up neighbor to neighbor We must now say no more Judges and lawmakers please hear our voice Help us to throw out hatred and force Give us back our founder's vision Liberty for one and all
Chorus: Every day we could gain a fresh new start In many small ways set out a brand new chart A country that's united, not set apart Oh don't fail us now Don't fail us in this hour

Yes marvellous how verse can express our thoughts and feelings much better than a ream of prose. Look forward to hearing the powerful words in the context of a song. Well said.

Processing these times with art, I find, very helpful. Well done - will you set this to music, at some time, because I would return for that.

Excellent topical lyrics. I was almost singing along even though there's no music.
Out of curiosity, do you have a pilot's license? I ask because one of your phrases shows knowledge of flying.
