There Is So Much More
: Brett Dennen
When I heard the news, my heart fell on the floor
I was on a plane, on my way to Baltimore
In these troubled times it’s hard enough as is
My soul has known a better life than this
I wondered how so many could be in so much pain
While others don’t seem to feel a thing
And then I curse my whiteness and I get so damn depressed
In a world of suffering why should I be so blessed
I heard about a woman who lives in Colorado
She built a monument of sorrow behind her garage door
Where every day she prays for all whom are born
And all who souls are passed on
Sometimes my trouble gets so thick
I can’t see how I’m gonna get through it
But then I would rather be stuck up in a tree
Then be tied to it
I don’t feel comfortable with the way that my clothes fit
I can’t get used to my body’s limits
I got some fancy shoes to try and kick away these blues
They cost a lot of money, but they aren’t worth a thing
I want to free my feet from the broken glass and concrete
I need to get out of this city
Lay upon the ground stare a whole in the sky
Wondering where I go when I die
When I die
