This is my submission for this weeks Steemit Open Mic contest by @pfunk and @luzcypher. This week I perform an original song called 'Revolution evolution'. I wrote this song over 10 years ago when I was in my utopian "I wanna save the world" phase. And although today I laugh at some of my lyrics here, I think it's still a great 'feel good' song and I still enjoy playing it!
'Revolution evolution'
Lyrics-
Revolution evolution
Is what we need
Love and compassion
No more greed
A world wide conciousness
Seeing we're all one
In the morning on the horizon
With the rising sun
And I don't know where we're going
Really not sure where we've been
But with any luck we'll be changing
Revolution evolution in the wind
Revolution evolution
Revolution evolution in the wind
If you could use your brain
To feel the pain of everyone
Maybe you might think differently
See that all our walls are pointless
They just bring us down
Love between us all
Is what wee need
And I don't know where we're going
Really not sure where we've been
But with any luck we'll be changing
Revolution evolution in the wind
Revolution evolution
Revolution evolution in the wind
We will not be fooled
Into fighting anymore
Our judgements on each other
They disappear
We will all be free
To work for a higher cause
Not herded from ignorance
Or pushed by fear
So I say it's up to us
I'm talking to me and you
To think about this world as one
In the things we do
End all our fears
And bring about a world of peace
If not for us
Then for our children at least
And I don't know where we're going
No I don't
I'm really not sure where we've been
But with any luck we'll be changing
Any luck...
Revolution evolution
Revolution evolution in the wind
It's what we need
Thanks for listening!!

I am mystified why you would laugh at the lyrics now. They are just as wonderful now as they would have been ten years ago, or fifty years ago. They're timeless.
Bravo for the wonderful words, and I enjoyed your performance very much! Your standing in front of that colorful mural for the performance was perfect, too! Thanks for sharing this with #steemitbloggers 😊

Thank you so much @thekittygirl! That colorful mural is in my living room.. isn't that awesome! As for the lyrics I just think it's really idealistic or utopian. Nothing wrong with the ideas. I do agree with what I wrote. And I'm really happy that you enjoyed it. Even though it's pretty old now this song has always been one of my favorite originals.

Thanks man. I wish I had someone to play a bongo or conga drum, but I couldn't get anyone to come through for it. I'm following your new account now. I'm guessing this is where all the steemax stuff will be? ...Only 9 days until I see you in Colorado!!
