about

Composed at 3am for added authenticity, my argument is that many of us (myself included) could do a little more to help the environment movement and relieve some of the pressure felt by fully committed activists.

This song has often been performed by my environmental choir Ecopella, and we recorded it on our 2008 album, Songs In The Key Of Green.

lyrics

We're weary
We who protest
Who build unrest
Make this request
We need to rest

When will we rest?
When we're arrested

Let's share out the stress
Let our success
Make the load less
Let protesters rest

And let the ease of gentle peace
Every weary hero bless
