I'm not a particularly political person, by which I mean I'd sooner just not get involved in conflict, but I realise that, at times, things happen outside your control which will you to say something or do something.I got a comment on my last song from 'gersing' asking me if I'd sing a song for the monks and people of Burma. At first I misunderstood the comment but then it clicked and I felt compelled to offer something.. anything. I know this song is going to change nothing; and I'm cautious calling it a protest song as I don't understand the situation fully (and I wouldn't want to upset anyone), but this is a tune I wrote in response to being repressed (I'm whatever guise) and how beautiful 'freedom' really is. I don't think anyone will ever understand that term fully but by singing and writing and thinking and speaking we can come somewhere close I'm sure. As a disclaimer, I'd say that, personally, the chords and melody are arbitrary; merely the carrier of the sentiment...Changing the subject ever so slightly I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone that's shown support; it's overwhelming. An apology to anyone I've not yet responded to.. I've never been very good at juggling my time but I will be in touch.Thanks again..._________________Certainty In FreedomIf I had the will to talkI wonder if you'd give a thought To what I had to say - help make it go awayCos there's certainty in freedomAnd in that we must believe inCos I saw on the news todayIf I saw you in the street nowWould I look the other way?I hope I'm strong enough to say - help make it go awayWhen all you see is hatredSpirits crushed and souls deflatedEasy to leave it for another dayPeace is pushing for loveLove is leading the wayYou should follow its pathDarkness leads you astrayPeace is pushing for loveLove is leading the waySo this, my only voice to speakMy message strong, my tone is weakI find it hard to say - help make it go awayAnd if I come across obtuseI urge you now to cut the nooseDon't leave it for another dayPeace is pushing for loveLove is leading the wayYou should follow its pathDarkness leads you astrayPeace is pushing for loveLove is leading the wayIf I had the will to talkI wonder if you'd give a thought To what I had to say - help make it go awayCos there's certainty in freedomAnd in that we must believe inCos I saw on the news todayPeace is pushing for loveLove is leading the wayYou should follow its pathDarkness leads you astrayPeace is pushing for loveLove is leading the way_____________________Peace© Kris Rowley 2007
