A song about the morning after Donald Trump was elected president.
(Yes, I know that "dawn" sounds like "Don." It didn't occur to me until I was singing it. My music is just SO TIMELY.)
lyrics
Woke up dark in the early morning,
Stomach churning, body warning
Of a future I never thought I would face
Votes are all in, dawn is waking,
Fear is rising, hope is shaking,
Taken for granted and all but gone to waste
There's no way to undo what went wrong
The world is revolving, spinning bleakly on
And we can't escape the dawn,
We can't escape the dawn.
And my mother woke soon after,
Full of silence, void of laughter,
Shoulders heavy under the weight of dread
She could not believe what had transpired,
She could not sleep, regardless how tired,
Haunted by wailing of those soon to be dead
She said, "It's like a nightmare and I can't wake up,
"It hasn't even been a day and I've had more than enough."
But there's no way to undo what went wrong
And the world is revolving, spinning bleakly on,
And we can't escape the dawn,
We can't escape the dawn
