Song: Children of the Revolution

Artist: ISYLA

From: Penryn, Cornwall, UK

​

About the artist and song: Children of the Revolution was my attempt to give recognition to the young poeple who have been at the forefront of change on Climate. I would say 'give voice' but they do not need me to do that!

We are ISYLA (iz-EYE-la). Me, Amy Woodburn (songwriter and backing vocals) and singer-songwriter Lizzie Freeborn. I am 42 and Lizzie is 20. We met through our local Extinction Rebellion group and decided to create songs together about climate change.

Our songs are designed to have a broad appeal and try many different ways to reach out and engage with people on climate issues.

Children of the Revolution

My best friend's Dad
Says I belong in class
Skipping school's not normal
Lying on cold ground
Is not what I had planned
It's hardly school formal

The children of the revolution
We never knew normal
We were only just waiting
For the bomb, bomb, bomb
For the bomb, bomb, bomb
We never knew normal
Only just waiting

What's that he said
"Got my whole life ahead?"
Yeah, I'm feeling that
Where's the will to be kind?
We're leaving men behind
Is this who we are?

The children of the revolution
We never knew normal
We were only just waiting
For the bomb, bomb, bomb
For the bomb, bomb, bomb
Never know normal
Only just waiting

Guys are you struggling to perceive the threat or its size
Just cause today it's not falling from planes from the skies?

What's that he said
"Got my whole life ahead?"
Yeah, I'm feeling that
Where's the will to be kind?
We're leaving men behind
Is this who we are?

The children of the revolution
We never knew normal
We were only just waiting
For the bomb, bomb, bomb
For the bomb, bomb, bomb
We never knew normal
Only just waiting
