Goal: write a song a month, with the resolve to not self-edit or worry if it’s crap. My thoughts are wandering with this one, and I'm indeed worried it's crap - I've been working on this last song for about six months and wondering if I should have scrapped it for something easier.
Does prayer work? Which are the most effective, rote recitation or an honest conversation with a deity? Are we putting good vibes out when we pray, leading to healing on a base level or is there a higher power? Who indeed is doing the healing? And what if He says no, how do we know?
With this post, I will have an even dozen songs under my belt, the great artistic endeavor of 2023. I have new themes planned for 2024.
There's a crisis in our town,
Say a little prayer.
A storm came through, trees came down,
Say a little prayer.
Say a little prayer.
Kate found a shadow in a picture,
Did I say a little prayer?
I put my intentions in a box,
Care in place of prayer.
Say a little prayer.
Say a little prayer.
I'm not asking for a bended knee,
Just a bit of intention.
I don't need any piety,
Just a thought, a tear, an inflection.
There's a cause for celebration,
Say a little prayer.
A grace, a gift, a time to rejoice,
Say a little prayer.
