Dan Writes... I'm glad you enjoy Power
from Above. I was pretty excited when
the song finally "came out." It had been growing inside of me
since early last summer. While recording it, I visualized being up at the
wind project site. The song will be on my new CD "Mapping Fresh
Territory" to be released in late spring. In the past week I've had
the opportunity to perform the song twice. In my introduction I mention
your project, then I tell folks that anyone can choose a percentage of wind
power from National Grid. Both times the audience really got into the song.
They sang along and asked me more about wind power. Wishing you all the best and
thanks again for the tour and inspiration. Dan Power From Above – lyrics and music ©2006 Dan Berggren Sinners are you ready for a little redemption To receive forgiveness for what we’ve done? The time has come to break bad habits. It’s time to turn to the wind and sun. [chorus] Just a little more power from above, Just a little more faith, respect and love For this old earth our only home. It may take strength to say no to that power from below But there’s salvation in the power from above. There’s a better way than barrels of oil, There’s a better way than lumps of coal, If we use our heads and work together. Renewable power that’s our goal. [chorus] [bridge] What will we do for a better world? Get on our knees to hope and pray? Well, that’s not enough unless we change. The judgment day is everyday. Wars have been fought over who owns what. Lives have been lost and fortunes won. But you and I will someday win ‘Cause no one owns the wind or sun. [chorus]
