Stacking Theory - Make it Great

from SpinTunes 20 Round 1 by Spintunes

/

about

This is a song for my wife and my daughter, for the queer and trans kids at my work, for the rainbow club, and for many, many others. For all of them.

As told by a well-intentioned but clumsy middle aged straight white guy who has barely struggled and still wants a bit of ocean time.

lyrics

i want to live where there’s not so far to go
and the answer is never no
I want to open the door to the people we know
haven’t yet had a go
I want to stand to the side and welcome pride
Can i hear your voice, can I hear your voice?
I want to swing what I need to swing
when it needs to swing so that we bring a fucken end to this ceiling

I want to be in the land of care and peace
where the words are soft and the love is free
I want to be where the water discovers my feet
and it takes me back to me
I want to be where the rain falls down on me
and it gets me wet and it gets me wet
I want to be where I want to be when I want to be
what I want to be we got everything we need

I want to wake in the warmth of the golden rays
let me recalibrate
I want to stay where there’s people making a space
for every other way
I want to say there’s a rainbow every day
and it leads the way and it leads the way
i want to change what we need to change when it needs to change
so that we can say we are going to make it great

We are going to make it great
