All this talk of revolution reminded me of
this song, which I think pretty much perfectly tells Anders' story, verse one is the apathy of Awakenings and the meeting of Justice, verse two is manifestos and silent protests, and verse three is MageFreedom!Hawke.
I fall asleep with the TV on
Wake with an ache, it's another week gone
Consider how my life is spent
And where it was that the real thing went
I asked a wise man for advice
He told me once and he told me twice,
Your life is one long damage limitation
He smacked me hard around the head
He handed me a card that read:
Work like you were living in the early days of a better nation
Play that tune again! I cried
It's dead and gone, the band replied
But as they slowly tried it through
The hands remembered what they had to do
They gave poke, they gave it licks
The name of the tune is Laying The Bricks
Let music be the people's sure foundation
I stood outside the Albert Hall
And wept, and wrote upon the wall;
Work like you were living in the early days of a better nation
We take the water to the tree
She says, Now do the same for me
It takes your sweat as well as art
To dig a channel for the human heart
There is no garden of delight
Unless you weed it day or night
Don't leave your life a lifelong long vacation
I hear her whisper when we meet
And as we crawl between the sheets, she says;
Work like you were living in the early days of a better nation
Living in the early days of a better nation.
