about

For Christine Lowry, who asked me to write a song about how activism is an expression of love for the earth, for life, and for one another. As Dr. Cornel West said, “Justice is what love looks like in public.
-Eileen

lyrics

Long ago, arrogant men
Decided to split the atom
Ever since, we’ve been tasked
To put it back together again.

Balance disrupted
Must be restored
Piece by piece
Floor by floor

Beauty walks in many forms
She moves slow
Her hands are warm

When the clouds cast shadows on the land
This is how they show their love
When the buffalo move as one
This is how they show their love
When the caterpillar moves so slow
This is how she shows her love
When we march and we sing together
This is how we show our love

When the grandmothers link their arms
This is how they show their love
When we say no more poison power
This is how we show our love
When we say no more wars, no more weapons
This is how we show our love
When we say no more separating families
This is how we show our love

Balance disrupted
Must be restored
Piece by piece
Floor by floor

When the clouds cast shadows on the land
This is how they show their love
When we march and we sing together
This is how we show our love
When the sunflowers filter our toxins
This is how they show their love
When we put the atom back together
This is how we show our love
