Track 3 of 10 from The Forest and the Trees. The series imagines our lives in a climate-changing world, where courage, love, and solidarity will be essential in any scenario. This song is about facing uncertain times head-on, with fearlessness and faith in ourselves and each other, and embracing new ways of being. Warrioring-up with stoic optimism.

lyrics
Bring on another time another day
It may not soothe me
But it don’t really confuse me
Open up my eyes to find a way
The fate that chooses us
From below or from above
Feeling fine, we’ll take it all the way
All the way
Bring on another time another day
Another day, another day
Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo
Gonna blow this thing wide open
Ooh-oo-I, ooh-oo-I’m
Going in with eyes wide open
Read it in the sky with no complaint
Keep on moving
Read it in our hearts, what’s left to say
Keep on choosing
Keep on loving and losing
If it matters, be brave
Be brave
If it shatters, be brave
Be brave, be brave
Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo
Gonna blow this thing wide open
Ooh-oo-I, ooh-oo-I’m
Going in with eyes wide open
