Eden Bloom – Vision (live demo)

From the Without a Book project

I had a vision that we stopped him.
Call it a dream, but I don’t dream anymore.

In every classroom, in every boardroom
In every shop, on every factory floor.

Someone stood up. Someone spoke up.
Someone said; “Hell No! We want more!”

There is a method, to end this madness.
It’s in our reach and we can have it right now.

In every temple, from every minaret,
a song is rising from every camp;

“This isn’t working, so we are stopping.
We’re shutting down what you’re doing right now.”

End the distractions. Start the confessions.
Boots off our throats, flip their backs on the floor.

There is a feeling that is gathering. Emergent action.
We’re not taking it no more.

Waves of people, together all alone,
ending bloodshed, fighting to stop war.

They’ve got a war on the peoples native to the land.
They’ve got a war on immigrants and refugees.
They’ve got a war on the Black and Brown.
They’ve got a war on women. They’ve got a war on children.
They’ve got a war on disability.
They’ve got a war on our elders, They’ve got a war on gays, They’ve got a war on trans, They’ve got a war on queers.
They’ve got a war on everything without a dollar sign,
They’ve got a war on the poor.

We had a vision that we stopped it.
Call it a dream, but we’re not dreaming anymore.
