Reclaimed - Steeleye Span

Patience and grace

There will be good days

And when there aren’t

Your thoughts will make your hands

Make things that make others take a stand

But until then, please hold my hand

And remember

This too shall be reclaimed

It all starts with the weed between the paves

Roots and time will move concrete and iron

And ivy and water will loosen any mortar

All that man has built will crumble down to silt

And all of this will again be green space

This too shall be reclaimed

Fearless and brave

Spaces should feel safe

And when they don’t

Your mind will make your feet

Make paths that play your distinctive beat

But until then please sit by me

And remember

This too shall be reclaimed

It all starts with the weed between the paves

Roots and time will move concrete and iron

And ivy and water will loosen any mortar

And all that man has built will crumble down to silt

And all of this will again be green space

This too shall be reclaimed

This too shall be reclaimed
