Lyrics for For The Miners

You were told that everyone was okay / And you were jumping up and down / But forty-five minutes later you were told the truth / That all but one had been lost underground

So now you’re angry, now you’re mad / And we can never understand / I hope that we can find a way to protect the men working everyday

‘Cause we who are living in this land / Don’t want anymore blood on our hands / The miners are working underground right now / And who’s gonna stand up for them?

Let Me Rise was recorded in Quito, Ecuador over the course of 6 months. Most of these songs were written while Vanessa was living in South America and feature the musical stylings of artists from several different countries. Driven by Vanessa's distinctive arrhythmic guitar picking and unique voice, this is an album that has stories to tell.
