FOR GORD
When the colour of the night
And all the smoke for one life
Gives way to shaky movements,
Improvisational skills,
In a forest of whispering speakers
Let’s swear that we will
Get with the times,
In a current health to stay
Let’s get friendship right
And get life day-to-day
In the ‘forget-yer-skates’ dream
Full of countervailing woes
In diverse-as-ever scenes
Proceeding on a need-to-know
In a face so full of meaning
As to almost make it glow
For a good life, we just might have to weaken
And find somewhere to go
(Go somewhere we’re needed)
Find somewhere to grow
(Grow somewhere were needed).
