Graham Henderson And Friends

A wide variety of music styles, governed by what we are trying for in any given collaboration. Or how an artist applies their feel to any song

This is my page for all collaborations, and for songs recorded or demoed and/or done live by other people. Be they collabs or all my own work. Basically a lyricist, it is some surprise to me that I now also write music to other's lyrics. A nice surprise. Makes me think I have actually learnt something.

Lyrics

The Misery
Lyrics © Copyright APRA Graham Henderson 2004 
Music © Copyright Claudio Barberi 2004 
Young boy.
In an ancient land.
Will he ever grow.
To understand.
Hate is not the way.
Peace is brought to be.
And retribution is a poor excuse.
To prolong the misery.

Young boy.
In a battle zone.
Steeped in tradition
His faith cast in stone.
But his holy war is fought.
With modern weaponry.
Does he fight for his beliefs.
Or to prolong the misery?

Who’s right or wrong, has been lost.
In the minefields of commerce.
Those who sell the bullets.
Are governed by the purse.
They don’t care their product.
Feeds the misery.
It’s been so through the ages.
So bring on the misery.

The all mighty dollar.
The yen and rupee.
British pence and the pound.
Grow fat on the misery.
It is a vicious circle.
Its radius is wide.
Its axle greased by the misery.
Of all, who have died.
