about

Following protests in the UK during 2020 relating to our imperial past, racism & social inequality, a thought that re-designing the way we teach & learn history could help to create better understanding of the way the world is & a more conciliatory climate within which to rectify social injustices

lyrics

There is no escaping - there are two sides to every story
Better than to avoid it - ignorance leaves us no way out
Re-learning it warts & all will help us understand
Why the world is the way that it is now - the good & the bad

A time for reflection - stories are told to make the victors seem right
Now it’s time for a challenge - to realise some unpleasant truths
Learning with a critical eye will help us understand
Why the world isn’t quite as it should be - but the future lies in our hands

Through a new lens, the land’s been divided by violence & greed
Wealth earned & territories gained by unsavoury means
To re-write a more balanced story, told in a way like never before
To re-set the historical record - a more rational way to question the law
Can help things to calm down - anger is only fuelling the fire
Accepting what has gone & turning towards a long-felt desire
Turning towards a fairer world - of social equality
Help things to calm down - anger is only fuelling the fire
Accepting what has gone & turning towards a long-felt desire
Turning towards a fairer world

Hold your nerve, don’t lose belief, a better world’s not out of reach
If the powers that be resolve to teach the past through a new lens
Brace yourself & don’t give up the fight - don’t lose belief in what you know is right

Don’t let this opportunity slip away - don’t fuel the anger, don’t you look away
It’s your duty, don’t you walk away - just listen to what the people have to say
Right now…

Hold your nerve, don’t lose belief, a better world’s not out of reach
If the powers that be resolve to teach our past through a new lens
