Shine a light by Olbigead published on 2021-03-28T19:49:51Z 1400 journalists hunted down and killed since 1992 just for doing their job unearthing corruption and speaking truth to power. Support them here (https://cpj.org/about/donate/) ============= Shine a light Who wants to know, who really wants to learn Who pulls the levers, makes the wheels all turn? Follow the money to where the bodies lie There is no place there for you or I... Who's that knocking, knocking at my door? Early morning, quarter of four Who heeds the calls of all the disappeared? Who speaks for those of us still waiting here? We got to shine a light You know they're trying to shine a light We're trying to shine a light Who makes the laws, who passes all the rules? That say she stays at home don't go to school All she wanted was a chance to learn And all they gave her were these acid burns You know we got to shine a light We're trying to shine a light We're trying to shine a light Trying to shine a light Yeah they're dying to shine a light Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter Comment by Eddy Waters this is truly great stuff 2022-01-16T03:39:54Z Comment by 2econd Skin fantastic track! 2021-10-28T10:39:41Z Comment by Becksville Picking doesnt miss a beat, a story for all to hear! 2021-09-04T08:19:24Z Comment by Becksville Such a cool intro 2021-09-04T08:18:17Z Comment by MonnoDB Love the guitar on this - and the percussive ‘knocking’ :-).
