about

Tell me what separates me and you
Is it a doorway, a hallway or maybe a step or two
You really can't see my point of view
As long as you're on the other side
Of that great divide

We're really not that different, you and I
Some of the same things make us mad
Make us proud, make us cry
But I'll never get where you are, hard as I try
As long as these barriers abide
The avoidable divide

I just want to be where you are
Living my life just like anyone else
But the difference between us is still much too far
When a single step can make me feel so helpless

And don't tell me not to let it stop me
Don't give me empty platitudes
Don't say, "you can do it if you put your mind to it"
The great divide doesn't give a damn about my attitude

Tell me, why can't I be on a stage
Sharing my songs and my stories, note by note, page by page
I want to be free but this world around me is my cage
I can't wait 'till we all can say goodbye
To this great divide

Tear it down, brick by brick
Throw it out, oh, I'm sick of it
This journey is long and tiring but I'll try
I'll fight to get into your stores and cafes
I'm not going to stop so get used to this face
Work with me so that I can be by your side
With no more great divide

Sometimes heart-wrenching, sometimes sassy, always honest, Nell's songs speak are a musical journal of the highs and lows of the chronically stressed and iconically dressed. ... more
