I wrote this song thinking about the various troubles we’ve experienced this year and how divided people seem to be; whether through race, religion, politics, ideology or belief.

——————

I got my eye on the mountain

I can see far ahead

The sky is clear there

No grey clouds to obscure our way

—

What we need now is to take our anger and throw it away

What we need now is to cast our fear to the wind

—

I got my mind on the next year

I can think far ahead

The days are clear there

No worries to obscure our way

—

What we need now is to sit down here and talk about it

What we need now is to find some friendship and love

—

I got my hand on your shoulder

I can reach far ahead

The path is clear there

No hatred to obscure our way

—

What we need now is to recognise we’re both the same

What we need now is to accept our differences

—

What we need now is to stand side by side and face it

What we need now is to come together and shine

—

We need to come together

And shine
