Chorus
Life is not about waiting for
The storm to pass overhead
But learning to dance in the endless rain
Da-da da da-da da daa
Can I see the beauty of climate change
The blaze of the forest fire
Will I welcome the boatloads of refugees
As land becomes the sea
Can I hear the poetry of nuclear bombs
The awe of the mushroom cloud
Blow kisses to the ghost of Enola Gay
Hold a little boy’s hand
Chorus
Can I sense the faith in intolerance
The fear in racial hate
Dare diff’rence across that burning bridge
Meet with an open heart
Can I feel the health in a pandemic
The justice of the billionaire
Can I make the case for equality
The politics of care
Chorus

“To recreate, if not beauty, then aesthetic dimension (in things like this) in trash itself, that’s the true love of the world.” Slavoj Žižek
