Bound 04:55
We've been led to believe in our supremacy You've been bred just to feed our lust We've been fed that which deceives our natural empathy You don't know when we'll betray your trust But while my eyes seek truth I will witness you We'd prefer not to know what we contribute to We'd prefer just to eat these lies We'd prefer not to see the things we do to you We'd prefer not to hear your cries But while my voice rings true I will speak for you Stand with me And we'll set you free Stand with me And we'll set you free [Hum] Til' my life is through I will fight for you Stand with me And we'll set you free Stand with me And we'll set you free Stand with me And we'll set you free Stand with me And we'll set you free Stand with me And we'll set you free Stand with me And we'll set you free

Why 'Bound'?

1. Non-human animals are 'bound' to, and by, human beings. We exploit them for food, clothing, medicine and entertainment. We confine them in trucks, in pens, in slaughterhouses. We forcibly breed them, separate them from their families, and treat them as objectified possessions. Their entire existences are often bound to our will. This is unnecessary, cruel and morally reprehensible.

2. Our fate is 'bound' to that of other animals, and of the earth as a whole. As a species, we often see ourselves as being somehow above or outside of the natural interconnectedness of all life. It is this concept, this speciesism, that allow us to forget that we are animals too. We need to learn – incredibly quickly – how to co-exist peacefully with other species in order for all life on earth to continue.

3. This movement of empathy, justice and liberation for all sentient beings is 'bound' in a certain direction: it is growing exponentially. Hundreds upon hundreds of actions have been carried out against speciesism in the past few years, including vigils, outreach events, marches, disruptions, liberations and direct actions. Thousands of activists across the world are raising their voices in solidarity with those we silence. Millions of people now live vegan.

4. When an anymal (an animal of any species, including humans) is free and happy, sometimes they 'bound' (jump) with joy.

THANK YOUS

A massive thank you to Sascha for all the hard work, patience and love he put into this track, as well as his continual support for everything I do.

Thank you to all the activists who recorded the final choruses with me – I'm sure you'll agree you all sound brilliant.

Thank you to my parents for their continual support, and to my best friend India, my comrade and all-round kickass person (she's in the video a few times!)

Thank you to anyone who I've forgotten to thank...

And an epic thank you to all of you out there who are driving this change. For the liberation of all beings!
