about

With Betty Catherine-Michelle Pompell

I wrote this song last fall, at a time when it seemed clearer than ever that people need to hear one another. In the most important aspects of life, any two people may have staggeringly different perspectives, and we must learn to speak and listen with respect, truth, and love.
Although I wrote this song specifically about the nature of God, the principle applies across the board.

lyrics

When we look at the moon, you say, “What do you see?”
I say, “I see a man who is looking at me.
He seems kind of sad, but he’s still got a smile
and I see a kind and knowing look in his eye
as if he’s blessing the night.”

And I say, “Why do you ask? Tell me, what do you see?”
“It isn’t quite what you’re describing to me.
I see a dinosaur rampant with rage,
a tyrannous king who’s going senile with age,
Oh well, isn’t it strange..."

...That we can stand here and look at the very same thing
and yet we behold it so differently.
You say what you see, and I’ll say what I see,
perhaps in the end we will both see more clearly.

I don’t know all there is, but I know what I’ve seen,
They say men have been there, but it could be a conspiracy
Women know best how he bikes with our cycles
and I know I’m fond of all the widths of his smile

The ocean knows better how he pushes and pulls
he’s kind of a scapegoat when we’re acting like fools
One thing I know is he’s a true friend to me
He leaves, but He’ll come back eventually...

At the end of the day, and at the end of our sight
We can only look straight when it’s a secondhand light
