Join the new world

Today's tip o' the musical hat goes to the illustrious Nina Simone. And our anarka-socialist art tour of the Americas takes us down the street and around to block to gaze at works by the Brigada Ramona Parra (BRP), one of Latin America's most remarkable and resilient artistic collectives.








I wish I knew how it would feel to be free and I wish I could break all the chains holding me.
I wish I could say all the things that I should say. Say 'em loud say 'em clear for the whole round world to hear.






I wish I could share all the love that's in my heart. Let's remove all the bars that keep us apart.
I wish you could know what it means to be me. Then you'd see and agree that every man should be free.






I wish I could give all I'm longin' to give and I wish I could live like I'm longin' to live.
I wish I could do all the things that I can do. I'm way overdue. I'd be starting anew.






Well I wish I could be like a bird in the sky. How sweet it would be if I found I could fly.
I'd soar to the sun and look down at the sea and I'd sing 'cause I'd know how it feels to be free.
