Ponderings on the world, life, and all that jazz.

I'm trying a new thing and attempting to be less perfectionist and particular in the way I do things in order to actually put some stuff up here! I realised if I only ever make a video when I've got oodles of time to fuss over every track and every video then I'm not going to get many done, and end up frustrated with myself when I do. So, here is a live, no frills version of a song I just wrote, complete with mistakes, wrong notes and bits that I've already rewritten since. I hope you find some enjoyment from it.

lyrics

Words, words, words.

Words don't suffice when this city divides.
We're stronger when peace is alive.
The cold battle cries still rip through my mind.
Though I know the war's won in time.

Tell me simply why war exists.
Tell me gently how love can miss.
Tell me slowly why a world like this exists.

Words, words, words.

In the waiting I find my sadness in life.
And an endless stream of 'why's.
It's a trust exercise in the God who's on high
As we love, yet lovers die.

Tell me simply why war exists.
Tell me gently how love can miss.
Tell me slowly why a world like this exists.

Tell me simply why sorrows list.
Tell me gently how trouble hits.
But tell me slowly 'cause I can't control a thing...

But tell me simply how I'm loved like this.
Tell me gently how I am His.
Tell me quickly 'cause I need to hear of this. (x2)

Words, words, words.

It's a trust exercise when this city divides.
Seems impossible yet so worth the fight.
