about

A song inspired by a video I saw about urban regeneration in my former hometown of Sowerby Bridge, West Yorkshire.

lyrics

Cross the bridge over the river, there's treasure hidden there
Though shabby shop-fronts line the highway, empty, broken
Ghosts that sigh for glories lost when smoke hung in the air
Haunt these dusty hallways. from troubled sleep awoken

I feel something stirring underneath my feet
I sense a heart still beating in these dirty streets
Turn back the years of dereliction, our conviction is we can and now the time is right
To bring vision to myopic eyes, revitalise by fire and water and healing winterlight

Beneath the clock's abandoned grandeur, climb the spiral stair
Look out on our future's new horizon before us
We'll make a space to play and sing in this old market square
Provide a new ambition for these once-beloved resources

We'll meet down by the water one sunny afternoon
We'll drink and celebrate the waxing of this moon
Come on, seize the day, raise the bar, step by step restore our heritage and pride
Bring back to life these empty chambers, repair the broken windows
Let the light inside

I feel something stirring underneath my feet
I sense a heart still beating in these dirty streets
Turn back the years of dereliction, our conviction is we can and now the time is right
To bring vision to myopic eyes, revitalise by fire and water and healing winterlight
