Oh yes I am a lucky lady, I live a very lucky life

For I have so many great friends and family all around me

Who love me through the strife.

But I notice a deep sense of sorrow emanating through my songs

But this pain is not what is within me, it’s a reflection of the far too many wrongs

That are carried out by those above who rule us

Dictating the systems and the structures that we live under

Misleading us up the wrong garden path and expecting us to just conform and soldier on.

Oh come, oh come the cultural reign and thundE.R. for my cloud is so ready to burst

For I feel the social storm that’s been brewing now for far too long

It’s time for Mother Nature’s Children to be heard.

Please don’t get me wrong I’m an artist and I see beauty all around me

Life’s potential and sheer and utter brilliance

But I can’t deny or ignore the despair that’s been eating you and me

People keep telling me to straighten up my ways, pull up my socks

Take responsibility, get a grip, learn to keep a stiff upper lip

They’ve got their dignity and they’ve earned their respect

By fitting in, doing their jobs and trying their best

But you know I don’t like what I hear

So come, oh come the cultural reign and thundE.R. for my cloud is so ready to burst

For I feel the social storm that’s been brewing now for far too long

It’s high time for Mother Nature’s Children to be heard

Likewise I’m trying too and I like mostly what I see

And I love this life I am living but I hate the bureaucracy of being me
