about

This was for Jon's challenge about a Gospel song... "I often describe my songwriting genre as Gospel music, using the term “Gospel” in the broadest sense possible...my 'Gospel' may sound more like Iron & Wine than Al Green, more Siouxsie Sioux than Sandi Patti. Plainly speaking, my intent is to make Christian art that doesn’t suck. So my challenge is this: write a 'sacred' song in *your style* that doesn't pander to the lowest common denominator. I realize not everyone holds the same faith and some may have no faith...all well and good...Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Baha’i, Agnostic, Atheist, Satanist, or whatever…write something *heartfelt* and *lyrically authentic* (happy, angry, doubting, irreverent, etc...honest) in *your style*." - For me, I'm not a "religious" person... but I think if everyone just opened up their minds and accepted the world as the diverse and interesting place it is, we'd all be a lot better off. I still have hope! Lyrics are prob too cliche and with a travel week I didn't have much time... but the gist of how I feel is there.

lyrics

Don't believe in a heaven above
Doesn't mean I don't know how to love
I mean the real kind
Not one thing in a book and another thing in life

People are different - embrace it
Theres more than one god - just face it

Don't care who's God is right
It's such a stupid reason, to fight
open our eyes end this blindness
Start with an act of kindness

Too many wars too much sorrow
There is some good but let's think about tomorrow
A world where all people can live in peace
For my kids, I can still believe
