about
Being informed about what’s happening in the world and not letting the harshness of that reality ruin being alive is a real fight. Being aware and engaged mostly makes me feel like we’ve lost our humanity entirely. But there’s so much beauty too. I feel consciously being aware of kindness, selflessness and hope is just as important as being aware of greed, discrimination and violence. We need the awful truth so that we keep trying to steer the ship away from the rocks, but it’s the beautiful stuff that gives us a reason to want to live. This song is me crying out for a dose of something good.
lyrics
I’m tired of seeing all the sadness.
I want to see beauty too.
I need to know the truth but,
I want a whole worldview.
I want to see the love in the eyes.
The gentle hand.
An unselfish surprise.
I’m tired of seeing all the sadness.
I want to see beauty too.
It’s good to feel my heartbeat breaking.
Good to know I’m alive.
It’s good to see my hands start shaking.
Good to know I’m alive.
I’m tired of seeing all the sadness.
I want to know the truth but I want to see beauty too.
I wanna see the love in the eyes.
The gentle hand.
An unselfish surprise.
We’re not so broken. Have not so lost our way.
I wanna learn about you and understand and not look away.
And with you, take the sadness, guide it too the rails.
Wrap it up in warmer clothes.
Send it off in search of fairer tales.
It’s good to feel my heartbeat breaking.
Good to know I’m still alive.
But I’d sooner walk the darkened alley with glitter at my side.
We’re not so broken. Have not so lost our way.
We’re not so broken. Have not so lost our way.
