It's entirely possible that I'm the last to know of this song - I just came across it for the first time yesterday. It's a song, a prayer: for the world, for the Church, for the nation and for ourselves...
I am open and I am willing
For to be hopeless would seem so strange
It dishonors those who go before us
So lift me up to the light of change
There is hurting in my family
There is sorrow in my town
There is panic all across the nation
There is wailing the whole world round
May the children see more clearly
May the elders be more wise
May the winds of change caress us
Even though they burn our eyes
May the elders be more wise
May the winds of change caress us
Even though they burn our eyes
Give me a mighty oak to hold my confusion
Give me a desert to hold my fears
Give me a sunset to hold my wonder
Give me an ocean to hold my tears
- Holly Near
Give me a desert to hold my fears
Give me a sunset to hold my wonder
Give me an ocean to hold my tears
- Holly Near
