about

Kim wrote the lyrics for this song after going to see Dick Gaughan play at The Newhampton Inn.

lyrics

You are glowing, I can see it,
the light shines brightly through the dark.
Every step you take inspires
a fire that blazes from a spark.
I'm strong again, a little frayed around the edges.

Banks & bosses, politicians,
they must think that we forget.
That sometimes power breeds thieves & liars
& Robin Hood ain't turned up yet.
What's happening? This country's upside down.

Life gets on top of me it climbs on my shoulders
& sits there comfortably digging in its heels.
Sometimes I feel it, sometimes I forget,
mostly I just brush it off & remember what you said
'we're living in interesting times'.

Big smiles & all that matters,
is that we stand up for our rights.
No matter how mad it makes you
use words not fists to win the fight.
I'm free again you saved me from myself.
