Broken Sides
Written by Bob Perry and Edward Rogers
lyrics
Comes a time when you choose a side
Meetings held by the riverside
Raised the old flag to show their pride
Hooray?
Colors fly at the capitol
Bearing symbols and wearing white robes
Lighting torches so everyone knows
Who you oppose
I don’t wanna live in a world like this
Time to change, change with it
Streams of hate, social wars
Change is coming, let’s get on with it
No love on a broken side
Hate builds up and divides
Crying tears that now turn red
And the fear like a virus spreads
Somebody’s gonna lose their head
Some of us are gonna wind up dead
Go ahead, kneel and pray
I hope it helps you on this stolen day
I don’t wanna live in a world like this
Time to change, change with it
Streams of hate, culture wars
Change is coming, let’s get on with it
I don’t wanna live in a world like this
I don’t wanna die with the world like this
Change your hearts
Change your minds
Change is coming don’t be left behind

This song transported me to my own very first sighting of a Veery this summer. A rare visitor to Vancouver Canada, it only lingered a few days before it continued on migration. birder
I didn't know that day in December would be my last time either. I think about D. all the time -- the funniest, most inspired person I knew. And I just know he's jamming on The Royal Scam with Walt on guitar haha! matthew danger lippman
