Seth Bernard's The Time Has Come asks us to come together now, there's no more time to wait in the fight against the men whose greed is accelerating the climate change that is destroying our planet. The heartfelt lyrics implore us to find meaningful pathways to action, in our shared humanity.Our House is on Fire, by Emma's Revolution, is a bluesier rock song with a similar message: our house - the earth - is going up in flames, literally and metaphorically, and we have to join hands to put those fires out. The fires of polluted air and oceans, dying trees, melting glaciers, rising seas, bleaching coral, growing drylands, racism, homophobia, hunger, poverty - it's up to us.Changemakers, by Crys Matthews, feels like a soulful, moving prayer, asking us all to battle hate and racism, and stand up for all the starving children, dreamers, homeless, and vulnerable members of our society - appealing to the soul of America, with the poetry that symbolizes us to the world: "Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses."Seth Handelman's Imagine as You Dream addresses the horrors of school shootings by asking why this keeps happening, why we keep leaving our children to face these nightmares alone. He wonders if we may be dreaming the fears and turning them into our own reality - and if that's the case maybe we can start to turn things around by dreaming the possibilities of how to fix this intractable problem. We must visualize the solutions first, and only then can we effect them.
