Wrote a song about climate change and racial justice. Was inspired by dialogue after two women interrupted the Bernie Sanders rally in Seattle.
lyrics
Little bird, little bird, why you flying away?
Did your home after the rain not feel the same?
Pretty girl, pretty girl, why you crying, what'd they say?
Did they say they don't believe you, wait one more day?
Well, I hear you.
Oh dear sun, dear sun, why are you burning
All our castles and our palaces of ice
Did the constant taking and the lack of giving
Finally break you, finally no more Mrs. Nice?
Well, I feel you. I hear you. I feel you.
If I were in your shoes, I'd feel that way too.
If I were going through that, I'd do what you do.
Interruptor, interruptor why you screaming?
Have the years been building word blocks on your chest?
Did that man tell you, "Be quiet," but you just couldn't?
Did you dream too long about living free to rest?
Well I hear you. I feel you. I hear you.
If I were in your shoes I'd feel that way too.
If I were going through that, I'd do what you do.
If I were in your shoes, I do what you do.
If I were going through that, I'd feel that way too.
If I were in your shoes...
