lyrics

LET'S START AGAIN
written by Dan Blakeslee 01.01.10

Bring us a year of remembrance.
May the land be flooded with change.
The hour is swiftly passin'
So let us rearrange.

Be careful of words that are spoken.
Don't speak with hate on your tongue.
This is a song for the ages.
One for the old and the young.

Let's start again. United as women and men,
Let's start again. Act as leaders with a powerful pen.

Bring us a year of remembrance.
Grab a hammer and put down your gun.
No matter the hue of your collar,
Roll your sleeves with the New Year sun.

Awaken with hope and forgiveness.
Surprise us with news that is good.
Together let's move towards a difference,
Whether you work in policy or wood.

Let's start again. United as women and men,
Let's start again. Act as leaders with a powerful pen.

In 2015 his dream of playing Newport Folk Festival became a reality, where Bob Dylan went electric 50 years earlier. His band release "Christmasland Jubilee" on 12.1.20 ... more
