It's Our Call

Liner Notes
I was lucky enough to raise my hand first to have a chance to do the music. This adds to my collection of songs with Kristi McKeever as lyricist.
Apologies - I'm about twenty years past hitting some of the notes I put in the song. Try your best to imagine it with singer who can reach those notes without sounding strained.
Lyrics
I hear a crackling, I see the trees sway
The breeze moves us all, reminds us to play
Let's start at hello, with joy for the task
Let's meet in the middle, we'll make the fun last
And it's all for us and for us all
Every day, it's our call
Sit or roam, rise or fall
Bring it home, it's our call
The win is a feeling, a laugh or a cry
A heart to heart shuffle, the brown in your eyes
So clap for enjoying a simple exchange
We learn by doing on the day's stage
And it's all for us and for us all
Every day, it's our call
Sit or roam, rise or fall
Bring it home, it's our call
With a sky full of colour
And a breeze to keep cool
We're here for mere moments
What will we do?
And it's all for us and for us all
Every day, it's our call
Sit or roam, rise or fall
Bring it home, it's our call
"We're here for mere moments, what will we do?" is prompting me to go outside and do something away from the computer now :).
