"I wrote "The Globe" a few months ago just thinking about people joining together across borders internationally and that the most resonant voice is going to be an international voice. I felt like the song had something to say and now is the time to say it." -- Jay Farrar
In the quarantine downtime, Son Volt has begun recording their new album. We are pleased to share this track as we continue to write and record final songs for the album.
lyrics
"The Globe"
People all around the world
Understand what's bad and good
Now's the time to show up
Lost time to make up
You can sense it on the street
Pushing back at authority
People all around the world
Just doin' what they should
They know what it's all about
Now's the time to make it count
You can sense it on the street
Pushing back at authority
People climbing skyward stairs
Deciders of their fate
You can see it everywhere
Change is in the air
International power
Of people all around the globe
We're really all the same
We think global and stake that claim
You can see it on the street
Pushing back at authority
The barkers and the house of mirrors
The map shows where to stay clear
The suppression and the whisper campaigns
The word is now and the word is change
You can sense it on the street
Pushing back at authority
People climbing skyward stairs
Deciders of their fate
You can see it everywhere
Change is in the air
Earthbound and down in the lost and found
Bohemian tale as old as time
The wild life and the theater of the mind
Anchors away in a ray of light
You can see it on the street
Pushing back at authority
You can see it on the street
Pushing back at authority
