Story behind the song
This song was written by Jeff Anderson just after 9/11 as a way of trying to look to the future with a positive attitude in the face of such a horrible tragedy.
Lyrics
Set your watches back, 'cause summer's almost over.
No time for sad goodbyes because we're still together.
And if the cupboard is bare
We'll still have love to share
And on the darkest of days
There's optimism in the air.
(chorus)
HELLO! Greet the sun and be happy
There's so much love left to live for
Electric orange is rising.
STEP UP! Brace yourself it's a new day.
There's so much life left worth living
Electric Orange is rising...
HELLO!
We're at the center of a transformational time
A time for consciousness, a time that's your's and mine.
A time for lemons and limes
For tangerines and blue skies
So pull yourself together and
Let's take a walk outside.
Repeat Chorus
Another Saturday, and the wind is hot
But don't you bring the curtains down.
It's mid September, in the fall sunshine
It's time to grab your books again.
(hoedown guitar solo)
And if the cupboard is bare
We'll still have love to share
And on the darkest of days
There's optimism in the air...
Repeat chorus
