about

BUILD A BETTER WORLD: “In the wake of the Peterloo commemorations, I was wilting under the weight of the negativity of global, and personal events. I was questioning the reason for my existence and the impact, if any I was having on the world. Feeling at my lowest ebb, I attended the Singing4fun group, that I facilitate. One of the members who attends, despite multiple physical and mental health issues, approached me and said 'This group is the highlight of my week. It's my reason for getting out of bed.' I smiled as I realised that I was helping, if only marginally, to make her world a little better - and that every positive contribution we make, no matter how small, helps to build a better world..” CHEESY

lyrics

A Better World

I fear for the future.
But the best I can do
Is to build a better world
A better world for me and you

The Diggers and Levellers
They shown what to do
They died for a better life
A better life for me and you

Oh I mourn for Jarrow and Orgreave.
I’m looking for answers. I maybe naive
How to turn the tide? I haven’t a clue
Can only try to build
A better life for me and you.

Our Suffragette sisters
They knew what to do.
they fought for a better world
A better world for me and you.

And I walk in their footsteps
That’s the best I can do
Strive for a better life
A better life for me and you

Nothing’s changed since the Peasant’s Revolt.
We need to bring war and attrition to halt
The crimes of the past. I can’t undo.
Can only try to build.
A better life for me and you.

I’m no hero or martyr
I only wish that I knew
how to build a better world
A better world for me and you.

So Let’s all work together
It’s long overdue
It’s time to build a world
A better world for me and you.

I mourn for Jarrow and Orgreave.
I’m looking for answers. I maybe naive
How to turn the tide? I haven’t a clue
Can only try to build,
A better life for me and you.

Nothing’s changed since the Peasant’s Revolt
We need to bring war and attrition to halt
The crimes of the past. I can’t undo.
Can only try and build.
A better life for me and you.
Can only try and build.
A better life for me and you.
