With Brighton Pride just round the corner, Eric Storm sings his self-written song, Let’s Join Together.
A song for acceptance whether it be colour or sexuality. We are what we are and we are all part of the human race. There can be no room for hate. Who says so? Listen to Eric Storm with his small guitar!
Verse 1.
I may not be young, I may not be cool
I may not be young, I may not be cool
Bright shiny face, straight out of school
I may not be full of innocent dreams
Unwise to the machinations and schemes
Of older people, people in power
Who misuse and abuse the young by the hour
But let me tell you, if you’ll give me some space
It’s not only the young, in our human race.
Chorus:
Young and old let’s join together
Face the future whatever the weather
Black or white, straight or gay
We are what we are, we were made that way.
Verse 2:
Well I may not be young
But I’m living and breathing
The pain and the anger
Inside me’s still seething
When I see what the world is doing to people
Unable to fight, for that which is right
So give me some room
To see through the gloom
The doorway of light
From the darkness of night
Let’s hope and let’s pray
That we find a way
To accept what we are
And stop all the hate.
Chorus:
Young and old let’s join together
Face the future whatever the weather
Black or white, straight or gay
We are what we are, we were made that way.
Middle eight:
Don’t tell me what to do
Don’t tell me what to be
Verse 3:
I may not be right
I may well be wrong
Trying to get this message
Across in a song
But I do believe
We should all be free To live and to love
And be what we want to be
Chorus: Young and old etc…………
