song: Part of it All
(© 2022 Gudrich/Gudrich)
Lyrics
Eels swim. Rain falls.
Redshanks sing. The wind calls.
And we are part of it all!
And we are part of it all!
Eels swim.
From the sea to the river.
From the river to the sea.
From the sea to the river,
from the river to the sea.
From the sea to the river,
from the river to the sea.
From the sea to the river.
From the river to the sea.
And we are part of it all!
And we are part of it all!
Climbing down to the Strait,
Sitting by the water even put your feet in.
Put your feet in.
Climbing down to the Strait,
Sitting by the water even put my feet in.
Put my feet in.
Climbing down to the Strait.
Lettin’ little stones skip over the water.
One, two, three, four, five.
||: Cormorants fly above the Swellies,
Dive into the Swellies,
And then rise again! :||
||: Cormorants! Cormorants! Cormorants rise again! :||
Story
This song is an ode to the cycle of life and to our connection to the sea and the triumphant "rise again!" embodies the idea of empowerment: We want to help people feel empowered, give them hope and strength to kick some ass for the good guys. And also just make them feel good and in touch with the rhythm of nature all around them. That's what "Part of it All" is all about!
Sabú composed a choir piece based on this song for a science communication charity to help connect people to the harmony of nature by the act of singing.
