“Bring The People Together” - words & music by Charles Luke Vassella Bring the people together Bring the people together For 50 years the Channon market’s Been bringing the people together That’s 50 years of Sunday’s for all kinds of people Through all kinds of weather For 50 years they’ve been waking up early Setting up and packing it down That’s 50 golden years of memories And hey, today! it’s still around Bring the people together Bring the people together Bring the people together The Channon market brings the people together For 50 years there’s been real people here Making and baking real things That’s real human beings, with real human voices Skins, and bones and strings For 50 years the dreamers have been dreaming Of a better world we can become We sometimes win, we sometimes lose, And sometimes, it’s fine, we’re still getting it done Bring the people together Bring the people together Bring the people together The Channon market brings the people together Let our hearts beat on, let our hearts beat strong For the Bundjalung country we’re walking upon May the makers make, may the dreamers dream Another 50 years flowing down the stream Somebody make me a coffee, make me a chai Somebody sing me a song to help me get by Somebody make me some sushi, make me a bagel Someone sell me a sculpture I can sit at my table. Somebody make me a tie dyed shirt and some funky pants Someone sell me some jewellery for my sweetheart and maybe some plants What-about-a massage, show me your stuff Organic and local, man I can’t get enough What about a kebab, or how about a cake. Make and bake it the best that the North Coast can make Bring the people together Bring the people together Bring the people together The Channon market brings the people together
