lyrics

What’s it gonna take
Kerr/brady 2005

So I’m wondering what it’s gonna take for us to wake up to the lie and pull our heads out of the sand
The lie that we must take and eat and buy more than we really need just to satisfy our greed
And all the while the planet’s groaning underneath our weight as we casually wipe out 200 species ever day

Do you blink an eye
Do you think to cry
Or are you still living blind to what must surely be our demise

And I’m wondering what it’s gonna take to wake us from this sleep we’re in and see what’s really going on
And I’m wondering what it’s gonna take for us to finally understand it’s a living thing we’re standing on
We’ve got a pile of plastic bottles leading right up to the moon and we’re spreading like a plague but man we’re running out of room
As we’re disrespecting wasting lying laughing destroying denying our way to our doom

Why don’t you see it
Why won’t you see it
Why can’t you see that we are – well we’re running out of time

But will you blink an eye
And will you think to cry
Or are you still living blind to what must surely be our demise
As we watch the planet die
Yes we watch the planet die
What’s it gonna take?
I don’t know if we’re too late.

Rachael Brady Sydney, Australia

Rachael Brady has one of those voices you only find in singers grounded by their guts into a life deeply & often messily lived.
It isn't sweet, high or perfect.

It’ll probably sing some of yours too.
Brady is currently (2024) recording her 4th studio album "Bears, Witches & Wolves" with Blue Mountains based producer Josh Schuberth. ... more
