about

Looking for words in a disheartening political climate. What can I do? One thing I can do is sing.

Also, coming off a broken wrist it's good to be back playing and writing. This time around I'm experimenting with a new toy, a looper pedal, that I got myself as an incentive to heal well. The recording is done at room level on an iPhone.

lyrics

LYRICS

I will sing a song of justice, stand up for all those wronged.
I will sing a song of justice, for those who've waited long.
I will sing a song of justice, proclaim it far and wide.
I will sing a song of justice, so the guilty cannot hide.

Refrain: I will sing. I will sing. I will sing.

I will sing a song of mercy, preferencing the poor.
I will sing a song of mercy, throwing wide the door.
I will sing a song of mercy, for those who are alone.
I will sing a song of mercy, speak life into the bone.

I will sing a song of love, may it flood across the land.
I will sing a song of love, binding hearts and joining hands.
I will sing a song of love, welling up from in my soul.
I will sing a song of love, the power to be whole.
