Here is a track developed by Čestmir Bergsma and myself. Cestmir wrote some poetry which he wanted in a song and together we made it into one on the Bunec Beach in Albania in September 2018.
This song is to be shared and learned by all, as per Cestmir's request!
lyrics
Stories are told by the young ones
The young ones have a lot to tell
If we just listen with ears wide open
Stories are told by the strong ones
The strong ones have a lot to tell
If we might listen to the shores of open dreams
Then the memories can tell
Then the memories can tell
[Let's say] How we became these strong ones
with muscles, lifting our heads
How we became these strong ones
With swords sheathed never drawing skin
How we escaped all masquerades
How we drowned in the blood of time
How we jumped across high fences
And left old grounds behind
And left old grounds behind
Seeing beauty arise from the ashes
Walking through a cloud of grey
Let's dance with the stars
Hear a whisper
Enlighten the paths of the weary
How we escaped from the world above
How we found new ways to play
out there, is a mystery
And we are not afraid
And we are not afraid
Stories are told by the young ones
The young ones have a lot to tell
If we just listen with ears wide open
Stories are told by the strong ones
The strong ones have a lot to tell
If we might listen to the shores of open dreams
Then the memories can tell
Then the memories can tell
