Vidéo : Stevie Nicks – The Lighthouse

The dream is not over. Stevie Nicks, 78 and revient avec peut être son titre le plus incisif et politique. Se battre pour ses droits est toujours d’actualité dans un monde ultra libéral gouverné de plus en plus par des idées extrêmes qui ne se cachent plus. Le ministre de l’intérieur en a encore fait récemment la preuve tout comme les 72 parlementaires qui ont voté contre l’inscription de l’IVG dans la Constitution. On pensait ces temps révolus mais le combat continue et quelle voix reconnaissable entre toute pouvait le chanter avec vigueur, émotion et conviction ? « Je veux leur apprendre à se battre, je veux leur dire que cela s’est déjà produit et de ne pas laisser cela se reproduire ».

Stevie Nicks participera au Saturday Night Live le 12 octobre, on espère qu’elle chantera cet hymne à la liberté.

Stevie Nicks – The Lighthouse

I have my scars, you have yours
Don’t let them, take your power
Don’t leave it alone in the final hours
They’ll take your soul, they’ll take your power

Don’t close your eyes and hope for the best
The dark is out there
The light is going fast
Until … the final hours
Your life’s forever changed
And all the rights that you had yesterday
Are taken away
And now you’re afraid
You should be afraid
Should be afraid

Because everything i fought for
Long ago in a dream, is gone
Someone said
The dream is not over
The dream has just begun
or
Is it a nightmare
Is it a lasting scar
It is unless you save it
And that’s that
Unless you stand up
And take it back
And take it back

I have my scars, you have yours
Don’t let them take your power
Don’t leave it alone in the final hours
They’ll take your soul they’ll take your power
Unless you stand up
And take it back
Try to see the future
And get mad
It’s slippin’ through your fingers
You don’t have what you had
You don’t have much time
To get it back

I wanna be the lighthouse
Bring all of you together
Bring it out in a song
Bring it out
In stormy weather
Tell them the story

I wanna teach ‘em to fight
I wanna tell ‘em
This has happened before
Don’t let it, happen again

I have my scars, you have yours
Don’t let them take your power
Don’t leave it alone in the final hours
They’ll take your soul they’ll take your power
Unless you save it
And that’s that
Unless you stand up
And take it back
Try to see the future
And get mad
It’s slippin’ through your fingers
You don’t have what you had
You don’t have much time

You’ve gotta get in the game
You’ve gotta learn how to play
You’ve gotta make a change
You’ve gotta do it today

In the midnight hour
They’ll slam the door
Make you forget what
You were fighting for
Put you back in your place
They’ll shut ya down
You better learn how to fight
You better say it out loud
