about

Black/white, man/woman, religion/religion, left/right...we must listen and try to understand. Reaching out of the echo chamber of our lives - difficult, necessary.

lyrics

SING ABOUT IT
It’s so sad
We don’t understand each other yet
How can this be when we’ve been living together so long?
So close to each other’s beauty?
It’s so sad. It makes me feel so bad.
I’m not gonna stand for it anymore.

Gonna sing about it

Gonna sing it when it makes me cry – when I’m uncomfortable & don’t know why
When I am guilty of the laissez-faire – my ignorance of you laid bare
I’ll talk to you before I raise my hand, so/and you can call on me to make a stand

Am I responsible? Are you responsible? What are we responsible for?

I wanna look up from my own concerns, reach across the chasm of what I never learned
So wide, so full of burning – your eyes are turning to me now…saying it’s time
– it’s way past time - to step outside the echo echo echo echo… chamber
Stop pretending it’s alright, stop pretending this is not my fight.
