TIDE IS RISING
(McAndrew)


there's a time and there's a place when you must say what's on your mind, maybe tomorrow
the gift of reading signals is just another axe to grind or maybe borrow

the time and place for face to face, (you better believe it)
is now, right now, we better take it (and never leave it) or

pay the price in walls of ice that crumble, tumble to the sea
winds of change are rising hard, as debits from our credit card
the clock keeps ticking, burning money is lighting up our near horizon
seas that change and rearrange, their form and shape in weight keeps rising

it's hard to see how you and me can make any difference, it all seems so futile
we must not let our eyes stray from the prize and realise that we need a future

the time and place for face to face, (you better believe it)
is now, right now, we better take it (and never leave it) or

h2o exists in many forms
all at peace in rightful places
from freezing ice to boiling steam
crystal facets have many faces

weather systems shake their fists to turn and twist with mercury rising
heat increasing, with partner tension to scale the heights we rarely mention
take on this task and follow through, allowing nothing to cause deflection
do nothing and fail, off straight to jail, silver tongues give no protection

global confusion, delusion, exclusion here to stay, there must be no running away from
indignation at conversation, lack of contemplation seems to be the modern way, there's no mistaking

the time and place for face to face, (you better believe it)
is now, right now, we better take it (and never leave it) or

 

Comment:- My observations regarding global warming and the feeling that nothing i do will make a difference!
