Miranda Lee Richards
From ANDRAS JONES: RAIN PHOENIX of the band Papercranes and the Starburns podcast LAUNCH LEFT joins us for a Pop Oracle session with MIRANDA LEE RICHARDS. Rain wastes little time tossing us into the deep end with her question about humanity’s shared fate. Her answer, in song, from Miranda shines a much needed ray of hope on the proceedings.
“LIFE BOAT”
(Light of X)
Words and music Miranda Lee Richards
Oh my love
Woncha’ stop your cryin’
The sunlight’s bringin’ rainbows to your tears
Cotton swayin’ fields are the pillars of your sadness
The daylight dries the rusted leaves
You wake up it’s a dream…
And it’s a bright, sunny morning
Each day a new beginning
Well it’s all comin’ back now
Sail across the ocean, the ocean deep and wide
The storm will bring you to the other side
Freedom, my love, is a double-sided coin
What have you done to earn your keep?
It’s no longer a dream…
Well it’s a bright, sunny morning
Each day a new beginning
Well it’s all comin’ back now
Well it’s all comin’
So walk these broken roads
What’s pretending might as well be lost
And raise the wall my only sons
You know I will follow, you know I might follow
You wake up it’s a dream
It’s a bright, sunny morning
Each day a new beginning
Well it’s all comin’ ‘round…
…Ooh
