eCon One Musical News - May 2, 2024 Newsy Bits Lyrics

In the Solomon's chain, the winds of change blow
A new PM takes the stage, in the island's glow
A fresh chapter begins, under the Pacific sun
Hopes riding on the breeze, a new era's spun
Oh, we sing the songs of the world's embrace
Through the joy and pain we face
May the rhythms guide us to a better place
In the harmony of the human, human race
In California's streets, the air's grown tense
Pro-Palestinian cries met with violence so immense
Voices for the distant, caught in the fray
Seeking peace in protest, but finding dismay
Oh, we sing the songs of the world's embrace
Oh, we sing the songs of the world's embrace
Through the joy and pain we face
May the rhythms guide us to a better place
In the harmony of the human, human race
Bob Carr's words, a legal dance, across the Tasman, a fiery glance
A radio wave, a chance to sue, diplomacy in a public view
And in the US, aid extends, a pier of hope that surely mends
To Gaza's shore, relief it sends, as humanity's hand it gently lends
Weinstein's tale, back in the court's eyes
A conviction's challenge that justice defies
And from Nickelodeon's past, a creator's name
Sues for his reputation
Oh, we sing the songs of the world's embrace
Through the joy and pain we face
May the rhythms guide us to a better place
In the harmony of the human,
As we end our song, we leave a trace
Of love, of hope, in our brief space
In southern China, the ground gave way
Lives lost in a tragic sway, families in disarray
We sing for the souls, 24 passed away
And for those healing, we hope and pray
