Story behind the song
Nature spent 100's of millions of years producing a stable climate for life by putting carbon dioxide in the ground in a form where it can't do any harm.
Then, we come along and spend just a few decades liberating it back into the atmosphere and STILL vested interests and doubters bury their heads in the sand and deny anything could be amiss.
Well, nature cannot be denied and the question may already be - is it too late to do something about it?
Tough times ahead for our kids...
Lyrics
Raindance
© 2010 Andrew LeFevre
(Dance, dance, dance, dance)
In the hills, drums are beating
echo round, empty Alice town
In the sky, smoking pillars
hopes are rising up and falling down
Wondering which way to look
from a silent dried out brook
On the ground feet are stamping
dust is rising to the beating sound
Raindance, Raindance, Raindance, Raindance
(Dance, dance, dance, dance)
In the streets, signs are calling
beckon you the keeper of the days
What’s their meaning, what’s your feeling
driving ‘long diff’rnt freeways
Storm clouds gath’rin in the hills
raindrops bounce on window sills
Something’s falling someone’s calling
something’s going wrong in Brazil
Raindance, Raindance, Raindance, Raindance
Amazon, oh Amazon – your heart is starting to bleed
Amazon, oh Amazon – vampires are starting to feed
Amazon, oh Amazon – vampires are starting to feed
On greed
On greed
On greed
(Dance, dance, dance, dance)
In a trance, apprehension
concrete rivers masquerade
See it in the eyes of children
innocent and so unafraid
We’re butterflies tossed like leaves
in a growing ocean breeze
Will we land, will we drown
should we try and turn around and leave?
Raindance, Raindance, Raindance, Raindance
(Dance, dance, dance, dance)
