Colour War

It's easy for you to judge me
I can see the reasons why
You've painted me a criminal
In your mind
It's hard to see that we were
Equal once upon a time
'Cos your feet won't let me raise my head
Above the ground
Who am I living for?
I don't deserve this
I don't deserve this anymore
Who am I fighting for?
I don't believe in this
I don't believe in this colour war
I do all I can to understand
But pressing rewind take its toll
More than you will ever know
Or care
Every time you burn my kingdom down it makes it hard for me to recognise myself
Every time you tell me that I have a place up in the sky it only makes me cry myself to sleep at night
Who am I living for?
I don't deserve this
I don't deserve this anymore
Who am I fighting for?
I don't believe in this
I don't believe in this colour war
Who am I living for?
I don't deserve this
I don't deserve this anymore
Who am I fighting for?
I don't believe in this
I don't believe in this colour war

Are You Listening?

Are you listening?
Are you listening to me?
No I don't think so
You seem lost now
What is happening?
What is happening cos this is way beyond us
Is it too late to dream?
Oh the dreams we had?
Or to believe that hope will return
No I'll never
No I'll never give up on us
I hear whispering
I hear whispers in the wind
Isolating
Stay behind closed doors
Fear is rippling
Fear is rippling between
Friends and neighbours
Is it too late to dream?
Oh the dreams we had?
Or to believe that hope will return
No I'll never
No I'll never give up on us
Is it too late to dream?
Oh the dreams we had?
Or to believe that hope will return
No I'll never
No I'll never give up on us

A Change Is Gonna Come

I was born by the river
In a little tent
And oh, just like the river, I've been running
Ever since
It's been a long
A long time coming, but I know
A change gon' come
Oh yes, it will
It's been too hard living
But I'm afraid to die
'Cause I don't know what's up there
Beyond the sky
It's been a long
A long time coming, but I know
A change gon' come
Oh yes, it will
I go to the movie
And I go downtown
And somebody keep telling me
"Don't hang around"
It's been a long
A long time coming, but I know
A change gon' come
Oh yes, it will
Then, I go to my brother
And I say, "Brother, help me, please"
But he winds up knockin' me
Back down on my knees, oh
There's been times that I thought
I couldn't last for long
But now, I think I'm able
To carry on
It's been a long
A long time coming, but I know
A change gon' come
Oh yes, it will

Sing On Nightingale

Sing on nightingale
Oh sing on
Sing on nightingale
Everybody loves your song
Chasing the sun all year long
Waiting for the right time to float back home
Waiting for the day to break and unleash your song
Beautiful as it always was
Sing on nightingale
Oh sing on
Sing on nightingale
Everybody loves your song
Don't let the leaves blow in your way
We've been longing for this day to hear your joy
Don't let the wind twist your wings in circles
It'll make you so confused
Know that the truth is in your voice
Sing on nightingale
Oh sing on
Sing on nightingale
Everybody loves your song

Seven musicians. Confident, expressive, often enough just beautiful horns. Still the rhythm group is my favorite section. They really crack their whips.
