don’t worry
“ don’t listen to the bitter things they say. ” “ tomorrow’s a new day. ” “ life hurts and love will burn. ” “ don’t throw it away. ” “ don’t let your heart get hardened into stone. ” “ you should spend more time with the do’s than with the don'ts. ” “ when you can’t pull through I will help you. ”
1933
“ we all thought we had nothing to lose. ” “ so I’m hitting the bar. ” “ the world outside is burning with a brand new light. ” “ that shit’s for fascists. ” “ you can’t fix the world if all you have is a hammer. ” “ aren’t you ashamed of this? ”
little changes
“ i’ve been melting in the summer heat going out of my mind. ” “ so far from okay. ” “ giving up too easy when we could’ve tried a little bit harder. ” “ the neighbourhood went to the dogs. ” “ we spent out energy getting angry instead of being kinder. ” “ i’ve been messing things up and i’ve been letting you down. ” “ i’ve been getting it wrong for far too long. ” “ i’ve been lost more than found. ” “ don’t pull it apart, keep it close to your heart. ” “ i’ll do whatever it takes. ” “ let’s not just pray, let’s make a change. ” “ it’s time to make some little changes. ”
be more kind
“ history’s been leaning on me lately. ” “ i can feel the future breathing down my neck. ” “ be more kind, my friend(s), try to be more kind. ” “ they’ve started raising walls around the world now. ” “ we’ve stopped talking to each other. ” “ there’s something wrong with that. ” “ you should know you’re not alone. ” “ trouble comes and trouble goes. ” “ when you’re out there floundering, like a lighthouse i will shine. ”
make america great again
“ make america great again, by making racists ashamed again. ” “ let’s make compassion in fashion again. ” “ i wish it was a bit less significant, the program and the name of the president. ” “ everyone can start again. ”
going nowhere
“ you worked your fingers down to the bone. ” “ i’m going nowhere. ” “ empires may fall. ” “ the world that you thought made sense turned out to be a joke. ” “ the future’s falling in. ” “ all that’s left is a hollow kind of hurt. ” “ here’s hoping that the sentiment survives. ”
brave face
“ put on your brave face. ” “ get ready for the end of the world. ” “ don’t bury your head. ” “ it might hurt a bit but don’t forget that this too shall pass. ” “ this too shall pass. ” “ if we survive. ” “ we’ll make it to the other side. ” “ make me a promise that when the world ends, you’ll kiss me. ” “ hold my hand. ” “ we’ll get through this. ” “ one look at your brave face makes me a braver man/woman/person. ” “ fear can bring your focus in tight. ” “ the world is a mess now, baby. ” “ start again with some new visions. ” “ i won’t let it show that my hands are shaking. ” “ we’re going to die like kings and queens. ”
there she is
“ i was hurt. ” “ in the end, i came back to the start. ” “ down at the bottom, i found the things i’d forgotten. ” “ despite all i’ve done, i can learn. ” “ i’m gonna forgive myself. ” “ i needed someone who believed in me. ” “ i needed someone who wouldn’t leave me. ” “ i promise you i’ll never leave you. ”
21st century survival blues
“ things have been quiet for far too long. ” “ things are gonna go wrong. ” “ we were raised in a glace of unsustainable peace. ” “ i’m scared that i won’t have the strength that it takes to stand back up when the levee breaks. ” “ i don’t wanna be alone. ” “ i know a place where the two of us can hide. ” “ we’d be safe. ” “ to tell you the truth, i just need you. ”
blackout
“ are you afraid of the darkness? ” “ we’re coming apart. ” “ i’m afraid of the darkness too. ” “ meet me in the middle. ” “ i will be there waiting for you. ” “ we can’t just turn around and close the door on a world. ”
common ground
“ it would be a victory. ” “ we need to build ourselves a bridge. ” “ in the end what’s left of us are the traces of the way we treat the ones we meet. ” “ if there’s hope to be found, we will find it in our common ground. ” “ if that ground is to be reached there are walls around us to be breached. ”
the lifeboat
“ we fell so far from where we began. ” “ there’s a dread deep down in our bones. ” “ strike out into the great unknown. ” “ behind us the old world in flames. ” “ there are victories to grasp more valuable than gold. ” “ there are battles now worth being fought. ”
get it right
“ i had a vision of people asking questions instead of talking without listening. ” “ we’ll find the time to get it right. ” “ if everybody’s ready for some changes to make, take a deep breath. ”
