Mike and the Mechanics - Silent running (my 2022 version)

This is my 1st attempt to share my interpretation of this classic song with the events of today.
I do not take credit for the song or most of the pictures... there are a few that are mine - but that being said .... I put this together rather quickly because it really hit me how relevant the song is today.

This is not about a political party....it is about the safety and security of every life.

all credit - respect - goes to Mike and the Mechanics......

Taken from the soundtrack of the film On Dangerous Ground. The track features former Ace and Squeeze singer Paul Carrack on lead vocals.

Lyrics:

Take the children and yourself
And hide out in the cellar
By now the fighting will be close at hand
Don't believe the church and state
And everything they tell you
Believe in me, I'm with the high command
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
There's a gun and ammunition
Just inside the doorway
Use it only in emergency
Better you should pray to God
The Father and the Spirit
Will guide you and protect from up here
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
Swear allegiance to the flag
Whatever flag they offer
Never hint at what you really feel
Teach the children quietly
For some day sons and daughters
Will rise up and fight while we stood still
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me running (can you hear me calling you?)
(Can you hear me) hear me calling you?
(Can you hear me running) hear me running babe?
(Can you hear me running) hear me running?
Calling you, calling you

Songwriters: Michael Rutherford / Baxter Robertson
