Thanks to the Steel Wheels for their inspiring performance last night. I was struck by how timely the following lyrics are. I thought of the restoration of the feminine; the fall of the military industrial complex; crypto currency; the post-Christian/organized religion movement; the calm before the Storm; the crimes of the political and entertainment elite being revealed - as well as those done by the rank and file; the cry for justice rising all over the world. The veil is being stripped away more and more - the question will confront each of us: where will you stand?
With no status, no power, no women, no men
With it all stripped away, where will you stand?
With no profit, no weapons, no money in your hand
With it's all stripped away, where will you stand?
Stand up, in the early morning
(stand up) Stand up when there is no warning
(stand up) Stand up when the storm is rising, all around
With no color, no creed, no bible to defend
With it all stripped away, where will you stand?
When this world (this whole world) turns violent, when there's no side left to win
With it all stripped away, where will you stand?
Stand up when the wind is blowing
(stand up) Stand up when the tears are flowing
(stand up) Stand up when justice calls and you hear the sound
So when you're quiet, alone, and this day has met its end
With it all stripped away, where will you stand?
With it all stripped away, where will you stand?
