(Anti-Ode to COP26)
When you’re teary, weary, dreary
Feeling so small
When years are in your eyes
I’ll try all
To be on your side
Oh God, times are so tough
And protectors just can’t be found
Like a bridge over rising water
I will lie down on this road
Like a bridge over rising water
I will lie down on this road
When you’re out and about
When you’re on the runway
When trees fall so hard
I will see you
When you take your part
Oh God, when the bird song fades
And rain is all around
Like a bridge over rising water
I will lie down on this road
Like a bridge over rising water
I will lie down on this road
Walk on rainbow follower
Walk on
Your day is here to rise
All your hopes will come your way
See how the fields dance
Oh God, if they need a companion
Let others walk alongside
Like a bridge over rising water
Come and lie down too
Like a bridge over rising water
Come.
Lie down.
Truth.
Come.
Soon.
