Red and Green-Robb Johnson
(posted to help raise the spirits of anti-racist, anti-xenophobia Britons after the Leave vote in last night's EU referendum. You are all going to have a tough fight ahead of you now.)
(also posted just because I find this a quietly stirring call to carry on fighting for the best of the Left's values).
I dreamed the old dream just last night
(Red and green and going home)
I dreamed of no more wars to fight
(Red and green and going home)
I dreamed of those who know no rest
(Red and green and going home)
The refugees and the dispossessed
(Red and green and going home)
Submarines plough-shared the sand
(Red and green and going home)
And factories turned to fertile land
(Red and green and going home)
We saw our likeness in each face
(Red and green and going home)
And with each kindness gathered grace
(Red and green and going home)
So broke the walls of greed and fear
(Red and green and going home)
With love to all things suffering here
(Red and green and going home)
But those are old dreams, nothing new
(Red and green and going home)
Of yet to come nonetheless true
(Red and green and going home)
