Let Us Grow (a Memento)
The flowers still stand tall and strong
After the ghastly storm
Not long
They cry, before the bees do swarm
All day they hum their song
Conform
They remain a unified team
Work together they say
Then beam
Enjoy our colourful display
Retain us in your dreams
Always
“The Great Gates Of Kiev”, Writer(s): Greg Lake, Keith Noel Emerson
How amazingly appropriate for todays world, written in 1971
Come forth, from love’s pyre
Born in life’s fire,
Born in life’s fire
Come forth, from love’s pyre
In the burning, of our yearning
For life to be
And in pain there will (must) be gain
New Life!
Stirring in salty streams
And dark hidden seams
Where the fossil sun gleams
They were, sent from (to) the gates
Ride the tides of fate
Ride the tides of fate
They were, sent from (to) the gates
In the burning of our yearning
For life to be

They were a favourite band of mine back then, they were so innovative and their lyrics were so powerful …. Frankie has been listening to a lot of Emerson Lake & Palmer later. 🎵🐶🤗😍
