Jo Cox was a British member of parliament who was murdered for her beliefs in freedom and equality. We were so affected by her premature departure that we had to say something. This is our tribute to her.

lyrics

Birds broke the dawn on that fair summer’s day
Down, down, tear the night down
Breaking the darkness to chase it away
Down, down, tear the night down

A rush in the kitchen two small mouths to feed
Down, down, tear the day Down
She kisses them sweetly but mum has to leave
Down, down, tear the day Down

Making her way now with people to see
Down, down, tears rolling down
No way of knowing it was not meant to be
Down, down, tears rolling down

Not so far away now he nurses his rage
Down, down, burn them all down
To be rid of the traitors that threaten our ways
Down, down, burn them all down.

Striding out briskly she sees him approach
Down, down, fall to the ground
Before she can greet him his knifes at her throat
Down, down, down ...down

When you silenced her voice you made sure she was heard
Down, down, take the man down
Her words grew strong wings and they flew like a bird
Down, down, take the man down.

All you who hear this take these words to heart
Down, down, you won’t keep us down
We’ve far more in common than keeps us apart
Down, down, you can’t keep us down.
