Skirmish: CLOSING (@corinnecurcio)Liner Notes
I rushed home to join this one and I got in at eleven minutes past. As soon as I saw the prompt, the first line of this song came into my head and the rest came as the usual skirmish adrenalin rush.
I think there might be a case for another verse - but maybe the two verses have already said enough. Thoughts?
INSTRUMENT: Kala FMTE Tenor Ukulele (Low G)

Lyrics
(F) The door is open but the opportunity is closing
It's time for action, we've had enough of posing
The (Gm) tired old excuses just (F) will not do anymore
The (Gm) waves are pounding (Bb) higher on every (F) shore
It (Bb) is no mystery - there (F) is no Planet B
The (Bb) wake up calls have been (F) heard for fifty (C) years
(Bb) Change will have to come
Or we'll be (F) left with "thy will be done!"
And in our (C) children's eyes (Bb) nothing left but (F) tears
(F) The last chance train is leaving soon from the station
The solution must be imposed on every nation
We must (Gm)act as if we are one before the (F)opportunity's gone
We have (Gm) no time to (Bb) let this all drag (F) on
CHORUS
