A redemption song of sorts.

Rise

One of a kind
who run the earth
Keeper got the lion
at its worst

Rise...From your-darkest eyes
Rise...Feel your soul redeeming

In a different life
you were born
now you recognise
who you were

Rise...From your-darkest eyes
Rise...Feel your soul redeeming

Rise...From your-darkest eyes
Rise...Feel your soul redeeming

Rise

This is my version of ‘Spirit’ by the Waterboys.
I was asked to perform it at a storytelling event last week. A storyteller was planning to read the words as part of his performance but asked me to perform it as a song. So I learnt it over lunch- which wasn’t too hard as only two chords! The Waterboys do magnificent two chord songs. I’ve loved this song for about 40 years. I had a lot of fun making it my own with harmonium and slowed down guitar.

A knot to hold us by
