I hear from broken hearts every day.
So much perceived division in our country and in our families.
But the reality is we have way more in common as human beings than not.
And when we take the time to ask and listen with open hearts instead of telling from closed hearts, our ability to operate in compassionate understanding can override the disconnecting judgment.
I’d like to share a song my coach shared with me.
It’s a message for our times, publicly and privately.
Read the lyrics along with the music.
Take a moment and let it sink in. Feel it. Apply it.
Music is great way to connect our heads to our hearts and we could all use a little more connection these days.
Conflict each and every day at home and in the streets
And in my soul every way
It's hard to keep the faith when I feels so far away
Times I feel connected, times I'm runnin' away
But whoa, whoa, can't you see
All the sickness, hunger and poverty?
War on the land and war on the seas
Whoa, war is a painful thing
One argument that none of us can hide
Is the one that's ragin' down deep inside
Tryin' to make a point or have the last word
But most the time people just tryin' to be heard
They say you got to chose your side and when it's done
Nobody right, nobody wrong
It ended in a great big fight and when it's done
Nobody right, nobody wrong
But how many people never ever broke a rule
And how many people tryin' to get their kids to school
And how many people pray they only find a job
And how many people are afraid of gettin' robbed
But whoa, whoa, nobody knows
And whoa whoa, only God knows
Numbers escalate, Wall Street, crime rate
From the Baghdad streets to my city by the bay
Hey, they say you got to chose your side and when it's done
Nobody right, nobody wrong
It ended in a great big fight and when it's done
Nobody right, nobody wrong
And I say can you say what you mean
And can you mean what you mean what you say?
Can you say what you mean
And can you mean what you mean what you say?
Can you say what you mean
Every single day? Whoa, whoa, whoa
Reach out a hand to somebody who needs a hand
And reach out a heart to somebody torn apart
It's hard, this livin', this life we've been given
Locked in your soul or locked up in prison
Remember you got to reach high to be risen
The day you let go is the day you are forgiven, so
They say you got to choose your side and when it's done
Nobody right, nobody wrong, nobody right now
Nobody right, nobody wrong, nobody right, nobody wrong
And I say one man got a jet fighter and the other got a song
Nobody right, nobody wrong
