The News is at it Again
The news is at it again
Crashing into my world in uncomfortable and disempowering ways
Whatever people were doing at nightclubs, jogging to work or just passing by
Someone got belted, dragged by the hair, help is at hand, a gun is coldly used.
One lay dead and two in trouble.
Tonight I hear about helicopter inquiries, drag racing accidents
And the latest update in how the heiress is holding up in solitary.
Footballers public disgrace, overpaid and under prepared.
Angela is finally out of the house,
and babies are still turning up in cardboard boxes
blanketed and left on the church house steps.
I pray to you God because I can
I pray because I must,
because that is all I have left.
Who does this call us to be?
How am I to respond where I am?
Justice seems so illusive but then its not mine to decide.
Empty. Tired. Done with thinking about it.
You will call God. You will prompt.
I will be waiting.
Today that is the best I can do!
Today made me think about what song to listen to as I head off for some sleep!!
The following lyrics are subject to change upon finding the CD or the actual ones!!
It's late/I'm tired... great song...
"Love So High" Jim Moginie from Alas Folkloric
A Love so High.
Speak tell me what you say
And give your true game away
A love so high a sunburnt skyP
ain is your energy
And yeah I got empathy
A love so high a sunburnt sky
Love is all
Love is clear
Love has shaken down your fear
Sometimes grows, in your mind
Somehow grows beneath the pines
And I left it all behindI hear a rare old mountain tune
Got tools don’t know how to useA love so high so clear and wide
Sunshine smote the hill behind
The field where we buried you
We sing into the ether pouring tears above, beneath her
Words we’ve yet to find
A love so high a sunburnt sky
Nothing’s new nothing’s free
Nothing feeds itself
Nothing breeds
Standing still, too many broken parts
Drink your fill, and then play your heart
And I left it all behind.
A Love so High.
ReplyDeleteSpeak tell me what you say
And give your true game away
A love so high a sunburnt sky
Pain is your energy
And yeah I got empathy
A love so high a sunburnt sky
Love is all Love is clear
Love has shaken down your fear
Sometimes grows, in your mind
Somehow grows beneath the pines
And I left it all behind
I hear a rare old mountain tune
Got tools don’t know how to use
A love so high so clear and wide
Sunshine smote the hill behind
The field where we buried you
We sing into the ether
pouring tears above, beneath her
Words we’ve yet to find
A love so high a sunburnt sky
Nothing’s new nothing’s free
Nothing feeds itself Nothing breeds
Standing still, too many broken parts
Drink your fill, and then play your heart
And I left it all behind.
Thanks 'info'
ReplyDeleteI have updated but I actually think there's a couple of lines somewhere between our two versions... I knew it was smote but it sounded too old!!
Moginie magic!!
