The Stars Are For Everyone
Kimwei McCarthy, original song written 18/02/2023
Capo 5. Search for "kimwei the stars are for everyone" on YouTube for video.
INTRO
The stars are for everyone.
Let the sky sing a song
Telling us we belong.
The right to roam is our right.
We are under the same stars tonight.
VERSE 1
Is this your countryside?
Is this your land?
You tell me it’s your property
And that I'm not allowed
but please be kind
We are under the same stars tonight
The right to roam is my right
We are under the same stars tonight
CHORUS
The stars are for everyone
For the lost and the found,
We have found solid ground.
The stars are for everyone.
Let the sky sing a song
Telling us we belong.
The right to roam is our right.
We are under the same stars tonight.
VERSE 3
I do not own anything -
No penny to my name.
This land does not belong to me
But I belong to every blade of grass
And you’ll find
We are under the same stars tonight.
The right to roam is my right.
We are under the same stars tonight.
CHORUS 2
CHORUS VERSION 3
The stars are for everyone
We belong, we belong, we belong
The stars are for everyone
We belong, we belong, we belong
The right to roam is our right
We are under the same stars tonight

DEEP & AWAKE
Great grandmother, pass me down the way
you can’t stop your tears from falling,
you can’t wish away that ache,
for I am stranded at the surface of the lake.
Help me dive deep and awake x2
Great grandfather, pass me down the way
you can’t stop yourself from hearing
the whisper of the wind and all its pain
and all its wisdom and its grace.
Help me live by what it says x2
Wise one of old times, pass me down the way
you can’t turn away from love
when it is knocking at your gate
for I am locked out of my heart and it is late.
Help me love deep and awake x2
Oh my children, teach me of the way
you can’t stop yourself from hearing
the calling of your heart and all its pain
and all its wisdom and its grace.
Help me live by what it says x2

I want you to be my partner in ending crime against the earth

BREAKING: Darwall applies to the Supreme Court in an attempt to once again strip Dartmoor of the right to wild camp!
This is what we have to say about it: RIP OUT HIS POCKETS CROCKERN! If Darwall is back for more, then so are we, defending our right to wildcamp on Dartmoor!
Hey, you got some gall Alexander Darwall -
Coming back for more, wanna keep us from the moor.
Hey, you want it all, Alexander Darwall -
coming back to court against the Spirit of The Moor.
Rip out his pockets old Crockern x3
Hey, you wanted us banned, but we won the last round,
High up on the moor with our colours and our banners.
We were thousands strong with a story and a song.
Old Crockern took a stand, and we won the right to camp.
Rip out his pockets old Crockern x3
Instrumental (Adam The Poacher Tune)
Hey, you know we stand with the Spirit of The Land.
A warning to all who try to profit from the planet:
if you try to keep us down, then you’ll find your fortune gone.
These are everyone’s stars and the right is ours!
Rip out his pockets old Crockern x3
Outro: Adam The Poacher Tune
STATEMENT BY @thestarsareours.uk
Incredibly, Alexander Darwall, not content with galvanizing the biggest land rights protest in this country for a generation, has come back for more.
At this moment, we're waiting to see if the court will hear the case, and tomorrow Dartmoor National Park Authority will decide whether to formally oppose the application for appeal. As ever, they have our support and encouragement. Given the unanimous decision at the High Court last month we'd sincerely hope the court will simply throw this out... but we live in incredible times.
Sir Geoffrey Vos said: “In my judgment, on its true construction, section 10 (1) of the Dartmoor Commons Act 1985 confers on members of the public the right to rest or sleep on the Dartmoor commons, whether by day or night and whether in a tent or otherwise.”
This new attempt to challenge the right to wild camp demonstrates the continued fragility of the Dartmoor bylaws. As long as the whims of a wealthy landowner can run roughshod over the public's right to access nature, we will never be certain that the opportunity to sleep beneath the stars will be available to future generations.
That's why @thestarsareours.uk and @right.2roam alongside many others are calling for a new Right to Roam act, which would enshrine in law a presumption in favour of access across England, and firmly cement a right to wild camp within our national parks.
Together, over the past year, we have stood up to greed and blinkered self-servitude and turned an attempt to rob us of an historic customary right on Dartmoor into an important victory for land-rights for all.
If successful in bringing this case back into the court, Darwall will confirm his place in the history books as a catalysing force for land reform in England.
We will continue until everyone has the right to sleep under the stars.

Is it time to break the law?
Depends on who that law is for.
Depends on what that law will serve -
making profit or the earth?
Is it time to break the law?
Depends on what you’re fighting for.
And if other routes have failed,
for all you love, would you go to jail?
It’s ok to disobey
when there is no other way.
When those in power can’t be swayed
to disobey becomes a grace.
Is it time to break the law
when taking action can do more
than speaking out about how
we must restore nature now
It’s ok to disobey
‘cause good people break bad laws.
Against a system that is flawed,
to disobey becomes a calling
You’ll go down on the right side of my story.
You’ll go down on the right side of our stories.
Is it time to break the law?
You will know when you are sure -
when your conscience speaks to you
to say this fight is right and true

Lay down devil, you don't have to work no more.
We don't need you to tempt us,
we are knocking at your door.
Come join us for dinner -
we love what you've done with the underworld.
We love the decor, we love the temperature,
so we're building hell on earth.
Devil help us!
Lay down devil. Would you like some more champagne?
Are you comfy in your chair?
Will you indulge us and explain...
how do you keep 'em down?
'cause we're finding it so hard.
How do you keep 'em all in suffering
and yet still remain in charge?
Devil help us!
Lay down devil, won't you open up your gates?
Let the flames spread up.
Let you demons out for recreation
'Cause we're gonna need an army
and we're short of personell.
So, if those demons need employment,
we've got vacancies to fill.
Devil help us!
Lay down devil. Recline your seat.
I'm glad we've met.
Thanks for coming all this way
to take a ride on my private jet.
We love you devil, you don't have to win our hearts -
you've won our souls. We pledge allegiance
and I hope this alliance lasts...
I love the devil and the devil loves me.
Fame and fortune guaranteed.
(Power to the people.
People got the power.
Tell me can you hear it.
Getting stronger by the hour)

If you wanna get into the doughnut -
set a sweet new economy on a roll,
you gotta start with the things that matter most.
Tell me people, what's the 21st Century goal?
Chorus
Leave no on in the hole. Thrive thrive thrive.
Don't overshoot the limit. Thrive thrive thrive.
Inequality is crushing us. It's time to move on -
the poor get hit while the rich party on.
Let's give the economy distributive design.
If we share thing out more fairly everything will be fine.
Chorus
If we take and make and use and lose
we destroy the living world
but here's the news:
regenerative economy is on the rise.
We gotta reconnect with nature now.
What a surprise!
Chorus
The secret of the doughnut isn't outside or in -
focus on both. Let innovation begin.
Because the boundaries are bound to lead to creativity.
Show me that you know it, sing it 1, 2, 3.
