about

An acoustic reverie. A daydream about rejecting unquestioning loyalty to religious dogma.

lyrics

These days I’m in a better place 
Every step intended, every movement mine
And I don’t see you because my eyes are focused forward 
I’m not looking for another place to hide

So this is for the people passing by
who never bother asking why
They never get it
Why
I’ll never let them
in to tear me into pieces
make mistakes of all my reasons 
Why 
They never see it
Why
They don’t believe in
Why

The takeaway is that there’s no mistake
We’re all just walking through the mazes in our minds
And here’s the breakthrough: If you go looking for the truth 
You know you’ll have to be uncomfortable with mine

So this is for the people passing by
who never bother asking why
They never get it
Why
I’ll never let them
in to tear me into pieces
make mistakes of all my reasons 
Why 
They never see it
Why
They don’t believe in
Why

I’d be alone; go away
Let them have their judgment day 
I’d rather have my hell to pay than follow blind
And who knows where I’ll go. Let them fight over my soul
I’d rather never really know than close my mind
If God intended heaven
To be far beyond my question
Well then, why’d he leave it here for me to find?

So this is for the people passing by
who never bother asking why
They never get it
Why
I’ll never let them
in to tear me into pieces
make mistakes of all my reasons 
Why 
They never see it
Why
They don’t believe in
Why
They don’t believe in why
Why
They don’t believe in why
Why

Why?

Laura Marie San Antonio, Texas

Now the reason we're here
Every man, every woman
Is to help each other
Stand by each other
When love walks in the room
Everybody stand up
Oh it's good, good good
Say I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you - The Pretenders

At some point in my life, I heard this song and decided (before I knew I decided) that my life purpose was to send a "message of love". Be <3
