Just thinking a lot about how hope, community, and art won't necessarily change anything in and of themselves, but they are very much the fuel; a requirement for change and certainly the thing that keeps the change-makers going. Also was listening to Jimmy Cliff and I think he was good at bringing folk sensibilities to ska and reggae

We give up hope when we need it most So quick to drown our sorrow We needed it then and we need it now We'll need even more tomorrow

We get burnt and we lose trust So quick to isolate We need to reach out and get face to face Before it is too late

ohhhhhh we gotta do this together Ohhhh the only way we're gonna feel better we might not know where to start or even how this ends Can't let em divide and conquer on this our future depends

we can't expect to agree on every single thing but there's more of us than there are of them time to end the suffering

ohhhhhh we gotta do this together Ohhhh the only way we're gonna feel better we might not know what to do but we're obligated to try raise the bar and raise our spirits do more than just scrape by

we've got the one thing they don't have we look out for every one they're losing an uphill battle and we've only just begun
