My song – ‘Life is Dangerous’ From a show at The Drill Hall Arts Centre London. 1984
Wishing for a safer humane and compassionate world then, & now!
My words and thoughts at the time.
Life is a struggle.
Just when you thought you were out of the muddle –
you find yourself in a great big hole – digging deeper down, down, down.
Now look at what you’re seeing – I know its hard for us to believe in.
Fighting people everywhere, going down, down, down.
Just when you thought it was safe to trust the Human Race – you find out –
yea, you find out
Hey! I hear you saying-
Life is dangerous, better start praying – to find a way to live our lives –
without going down.
I know we could change things. It is not enough to sit around here – waiting.
We’ve got our future in the children’s hands – don’t let them go down.
Just when you thought it was safe to trust the Human Race-
You’ll find out, yea, you will find out.
I know we all need homes and safety but, nobody knows when we’ll lose it.
Too many fools in charge of hot air – time is running out – there is no doubt.
Time to raise your voice and be heard, YES!

Hi Carol, great to hear this on Jazz Record Requests BBC Radio 3 🙂 In the mid 1990s I attended some of your classes at the City Lit 🙂
Still your words to this song resonate…If only the world were less dangerous and people kinder to each other.
I hope all is well with you. x
