The song I’m putting up this week has the capacity to offend those who don’t understand the words. However, I’m not going to rationalise my intent. I’ll simply post the lyrics for you to ponder. I sincerely hope you hear what I’m saying and that it resonates with you.
It’s not so much the writer as the words
It’s not so much the sound as what is heard
It’s not so much the asking as the awful need
It’s not so much the hunger as the greed
In a world without end
Hallelujah and Amen
Where is God when angry men
Kill happy children?
It’s not so much laughter as the joke
It’s not so much the gamble as the hope
It’s not so much the giving as it’s what we take
It’s not so much the work as what we make
It’s not so much the victim as the crime
It’s not so much the finish as the time
It’s not so much the fighter as the worthwhile cause
It’s not so much the silence as the pause
Love the lyrics…..
Profound, those offended could benefit the most from these words….
love it – could be a bit tricky as a pop song though,
where are the young punks these days?
WOW You have a way with words. Pono
May I simply say what a comfort to discover someone that actually understands what they are talking about over the internet. You actually know how to bring a problem to light and make it important. More people need to look at this and understand this side of the story. I was surprised you’re not more popular since you definitely have the gift.
