Inspired by events since I got up this morning and it's only 9:30 am. I'm moody today. Must be pms-in' or something. This was written after the other one and after I hunted up the lyrics and sang/played "Eve of Destruction" and "Sky Pilot" unplugged.


" Too Much Goin' On "

(intro)
I sang the words in front of me
And thought about what I'd read.
Then when it was over I sat the guitar upright in my lap,
Tightly wrapped my arms around it,
And the tears came down.
There's too much goin' on.

(chorus)
Too much goin' on.
Too much goin' on.
Too much goin' on in the world.
Too much goin' on.

Jesus wrap your arms around me
And help me with my fears
Let your Light shine down
On me and those that I hold dear
I know You never leave me lonely
But I sometimes forget You're near
Be constructive with my sadness
And take away my fear.

(chorus)
Too much goin' on.
Too much goin' on.
Too much goin' on in the world.
Too much goin' on.

Just as I finished writing that verse
The sun came out a short time
And I really felt I'd been given
What I could claim to be mine.
The Light that I'd asked for
Though the sky had dimmed grey again
So I'll try to give Him something
Cuz sometimes He's my only friend.

(outro)
Though there's too much goin' on in the world
That I can't do a thing about.
But I can make my corner of the world a little better
And in that I have no doubt.
So I'll dry my tears on my shirt sleeve
Dry my strings 'fore they rust away. .
Spread a little of my own light around
And make a little sunshine today.

BJH

You'd not believe the big smile I have on my face. You're a sweetie. Thanks for the pep talk. I think you can relate a little to feeling that way sometime though. Most probably can, but I'll try to look at the brighter side.

And yeah, it does sound a bit country. For some reason when I write pieces similar to this I always think of Alan Jackson's song about 9-11. Maybe it could be a little more on the blues rockish side. That's what the first verse and chorus started out as, but then it took on it's own life.

I don't know if I'd go that far. It's quite a challenge using me and sense in the same sentence unless it's sense of humor or got no (I hear that alot! ). Grand-oath
