Irresistibly danceable African feel. A joyous celebration, full of optimism and hope. Janette’s production excels with exuberant marimba and playful tin-whistle, cheeky brass and a solid kick drum. The ‘feel-good’ rhythm is infectious and the message is simple: “.. Do it now!..”
lyrics
Only in the darkest hour
Does the light begin to shine
The smallest star will come
To glisten
Given time
There is majic for the taking
It's everywhere you turn around
And all the walls around you
Waiting to be shaken down
Take this hammer from me
Break this if you can
All this power 'round you
Take it in your hand
Take this trumpet from me
Blow it if your dare
Castle walls will crumble
If they're made of air
You and I alone together
Never more in need than now
Look around you now
And tell me you don't feel it
Getting stronger now
There is majic for the taking
It's everywhere you turn around
And all the walls around you
Waiting to be shaken down
Take this hammer from me
Break this if you can
Love remains unbroken
Just reach out your hand
Take this trumpet from me
Blow it if you dare
Castle walls will crumble
If they're made of air
There will come a day
And it won't be long
When all of this will blow away
And I'll be gone
