about

Based on a earnest suggestion from my longtime pal Cliff H, I tried to write a song of hope in the summer of 2016. It was tougher than I thought it would be.

lyrics

a friend of mine just asked me yesterday
it was a reasonable thing to say
yeah, he requested:
please write a song of hope

it touched me deeply
and it made me think
i never will
but i could use a drink
this shitty month
how do i write a song of hope?

(chorus)
i spent the darkest hours
trying to write one
i searched for love and light
to rescue me

too many voices, too much suffering
too many guns, too many angry men
too much religion
hard to write a song of hope

too many white men wearing judge’s robes
too many sexists, bigots, homophobes
please cut me slack
if i can’t write a song of hope

(chorus)
(organ break)
(chorus twice)
