https://www.MichaelLyonMusic.com Of the many ways of building a better future, America has long prided itself as a country where people are able to bring that about by voting for it. Better Future is a timely acoustic invitation for listeners to get out and VOTE in November’s elections. Long may voting be your way - and my way - of bringing our voices to bear, in the spirit of: - Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxiMrvDbq3s&list=RDwxiMrvDbq3s&start_radio=1 - Bob Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWwgrjjIMXA&list=RDvWwgrjjIMXA&start_radio=1 - John Lennon's, "Imagine" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkgkThdzX-8&list=RDYkgkThdzX-8&start_radio=1 - Bruce Springsteen's anthem, "The Rising" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9LpsP0goJ8&list=RDA9LpsP0goJ8&start_radio=1 - Patti Smith's "People Have The Power" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6Wz3i_BYUc&list=RDy6Wz3i_BYUc&start_radio=1 If ever there was a time for us to live up to the promise of those cherished words from The Declaration of Independence: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed..." It could hardly be any clearer that the time and place for rededicating ourselves to the pursuit of a Better Future is right now - at the ballot box. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCfZ7q7i4CY&feature=youtu.be Better Future by Michael Lyon Someone wants to place a bigger crown upon his head Long ago we changed the way our country would be led Make our greatness real What we long to feel Drawn to where a better future lies ahead One of high ideals, hopes and dreams There a better future lies ahead The founding of America took place through blood and toil Had the battles not been won, no nation would be born In that hard-fought way It is ours today and tomorrow if we have our say Find out how greatness feels, speaking truth that heals Our much better future cries out Let a better future rise ahead We've come a long long way to make this home today and tomorrow if we have our say There within our reach - respect for each Our much better future cries out Proud steps forward leaving no doubt It's true, a better future lies ahead Michael's Website: https://www.MichaelLyonMusic.com Subscribe to Michael's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8Bk70Nt45jibXW3YGYKPxw Recent music videos - Rising Up - (full-length) https://youtu.be/yb-85Xn8IXk (short) - https://youtube.com/shorts/8Zs8xsXX7U8 Why Wage War (full-length) - https://youtu.be/07sZgiAE7Q8 (short) - https://www.youtube.com/shorts/HFJnpCJfRPE Heart And Soul (full-length) - https://youtu.be/f07PqVVA5Z4 (short) - https://youtube.com/shorts/Cp-gt9rscTA Standing In The Breach (full-length) - https://youtu.be/3dQTvrw-wbE (short) - https://www.youtube.com/shorts/HdSqrNNP28g Say It Ain't So - (full-length) - https://youtu.be/E8ElyKUOoO8 (short) - https://youtube.com/shorts/1MLcS0w4YbU Madness (full-length) - https://youtu.be/OSLrUFukdaw (short) - https://youtube.com/shorts/BoS3mO_-Suw No White Flags (full-length) - https://youtu.be/JWZ7eu4Xv6Y (short) - https://youtube.com/shorts/-BqlVI4k0Jg The Guy Who Won (full-length) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tq8fiFBJOBo (shorts) - https://youtube.com/shorts/tRREEXcDTFs - https://youtube.com/shorts/VNbaAsPxZsQ Free And Grateful - (full-length) - https://youtu.be/XN4-IyJqJrU (short) - https://youtube.com/shorts/fE7IaRInzjk?si=2954sBzQEH7rSMQT Spotify: - single, Rising Up https://open.spotify.com/track/77REV6bznKaul7BxLo1Zko?si=5db1da83cb5349d8 - single, Why Wage War https://open.spotify.com/track/4EQ4RuYu7861X6ffYs6CYE?si=5474f1f69bab4d6a - single, Heart And Soul https://open.spotify.com/track/4aZw7PN8LCe0fir6kM16NC?si=a51607a7f1384d3f - single, Standing In The Breach: https://open.spotify.com/track/626nNrSdjrsTqLDaoLIZtm?si=5d1ec58bb5ee41a5 - single, Say It Ain't So: https://open.spotify.com/track/0dnvYbzBLR9BR4hMKwgnrb?si=5773c44276974682 - latest album, WHAT COULD BE: https://open.spotify.com/album/2oARFc5TkvsuHlNIUGdmDb?si=cy31OtBLTcqPZFsfCaP0Lw - single, Madness: https://open.spotify.com/track/0w55YpEMSu50iWcM9Liel9?si=f0544636d1bc4e94 - single, No White Flags: https://open.spotify.com/album/4Pt0XoKBOWxMZiqPpf5BPa #michaellyon #folk #singersongwriter #folkmusic #rock Show less
