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
