Appropriate to be released on last day UK is in the EU 'brexit day'. Written in 2019 with rifts in the UK over Brexit and clouds gathering in the form of nationalism across central and Eastern Europe. We must not forget that sensless bigotry, propaganda and fear mongering created devastating conflicts across Europe in the last 200 years. This is an appeal to stop hurting and listen and understand more each other. lets hope the UK will continue to play its part and our children and theirs enjoy the peace my generation has based on the sacrifice of others before.

Lyrics:
It’s time to heal
Hurt deep inside
Build the bridges 
Cross ocean’s wide
Reach out your hand
We’ll cross this land
Pulling the plough, Side by side

There’s been division
Throughout our lands
Many’ve struggled
To understand
How brothers and sisters 
Can’t lend a hand
By hurting each other
We wound this land

C: No matter colour,
Gender or creed
We’ve stories to tell
Better lives to lead
Look to each other
Hold out our hand
Walking side by side
To heal this land 

When trouble looms
Clouds gather ahead
It’s better to talk,
than end up dead
Beat out your swords
Pick up the plough
Let’s work together, to end all the rows

C: No matter colour…

Turn your faces
To the dawn sky
Don’t throw sticks or stones
In each other’s eye
Hold on steady 
Tell truth, not lies
Ours is always, to ask why

C: No matter colour…

(x2) It’s time to heal
Hurt deep inside
Build the bridges 
Cross ocean’s wide
Reach out your hand
We’ll cross this land
Pulling the plough (2nd x repeat 3x)
Side by side

Time To Heal

Hi, I'm a Brussels based amateur singer-songwriter and performer (guitar, voice, violin, viola). I grew up in classical and folk music but am loving the constant flows of different world music as well as great rock, jazz and soul.
My songs and tunes are inspired by day to day events, history and even names. I'm passionate about music and it helps keep me sane in my busy day job. 
On here are some samples of my compositions over the years. My dream is that others will like what I do and will sing and play my music. Long live the Music Muse!

Please ask my express permission to use any of my music for purposes other than your own private listening but I do encourage you to perform it,  share and remix (with credit for original).
