Lyrics

Shifting Sands

Shifting sands beneath our feet, trying to find where she we meet
Has it always been this hard
He and they struggle every day, the words we use don’t light the way
Has it always been this hard Has it always been this hard
Let’s ask, let’s ask the past Look at life before the rainbow
Walls were high and doors were locked No one knew which way to go

Shifting sands change where we stand, out in front, hand in hand
And it doesn’t seem to be as hard
Open hearts have shown the way though, sometimes fear still rules the day
But it doesn’t seem to be as hard It doesn’t seem to be as hard
Now look, look at today Look at the world since the rainbow
Broken walls and open doors There seems to be a road to follow

Echoes in the hallways loud of dreams, that rise above the crowd
Faces change, yet still we fight, for voices that are lost in night
In rooms of vote and streets that sing, gender voices greet the spring
Aware and alive, love and hope on choices’ side

Shifting sands beneath our feet, trying to find where she we meet
Has it always been this hard
Now open hearts have shown the way though, sometimes fear still rules the day
But it doesn’t seem to be as hard It doesn’t seem to be as hard
And our paths, they combine in tapestry…. Love is love, in every heart and home
Holding hands with those we choose Singing songs from a modern muse
And we’re done with it being hard Now we’re, looking over the rainbow
