Our Family on Church and Main
Come along, there's no need to fear Everyone is welcome here So please, stay a little longer Help us spread some cheer
Poetry for people who could use a little kindness
Come along, there's no need to fear Everyone is welcome here So please, stay a little longer Help us spread some cheer
Come, let's all gather together Don't look at the sky, ignore the weather Leave behind your strife and disdain And join us for another summer night on Church and Main
Knowledge is powerful Ignorance is pervasive Wisdom is crucial Care must be taken
Sometimes, it's okay to lie Small, tiny things that don't matter But you have to keep account of it Watch them closely, don't let them scatter
It doesn't take courage to ignore your fears It takes ignorance and arrogance Fear is the natural response to potential harm
(Told from the perspective of Skyeyes from Girl in Red)
You didn't know what was best You pushed me around like the rest Deceptive, condescending The secrets unending Determined to run my life Then leave me to deal with the strife Until everything fell apart I fell, weighed down by a broken heart When I thought everything was lost to me You held out your arms and caught me
It's okay to be angry To want to lash out To stomp your feet and scream and shout
I'm so glad you're here you've given everyone cheer So I'd just like to say That you made a difference today
I'm scared of what will come But united we can overcome
Each test, each war, each trial So let's sit down and listen a while
We've got to reach over and extend a hand Offer a chance to work together and take a stand
We can't let our differences tear us apart We can work together, and here's where we start
The rain falls and cleanses my soul as I dance barefoot on the grass The trees applaud when I take a bow They're thrilled with my show
