Voices

(Will Ekwue)

You try to be a man, by being the best you can, but no one gives you a chance. Suddenly the voices in your head take over & there is no turning back.

Chorus I hear voices in my head When I lay down in bed And though I keep seeing the colour red I don’t want to be misled Verse 1 All my life I’ve been lied to Told I was special when it ain’t true From my parents who disowned me To the system who took me I feel I have been forsaken By those who wanted me broken Is ‘normal’ too much to ask for? Or am I just clutching at straws? Chorus I hear voices in my head When I lay down in bed And though I keep seeing the colour red I don’t want to be misled Verse 2 Playing the cards that I’ve been dealt I try to make an honest man of myself If I pin my hopes on these losers I’ll be dead within a few hours So I look for how to earn my keep But I get turned down like a creep The pain & anger cuts so deep And I try my hardest not to weep Chorus I hear voices in my head When I lay down in bed And though I keep seeing the colour red I don’t XXXX XX XX XXXXXX XXXXX X X XXXX XX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXXXXX XXX XXX XXXXX XX XXXXX XXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXX XXXX X XXXXXXXXX XXXXX XX XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX XX XX XXXXXXXX XXX XXXX XXXX X XXXX XX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXX XXXXX XXXXXXXX XXX XXXXXXXXX XXX XXXX XXXX XXX XXXX XX XXXX XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX X XX XXXXX XXXXXXX XXX X XXXXXXX XXXX X XXXXX XX XXXXXXXXX XXXXXX X XXXX XXXXXX XX XX XXXX XXXX X XXX XXXX XX XXX XXX XXXXXX X XXXX XXXXXX XXX XXXXXX XXX X XXXXXXX XXXX XX XX XXXXXX

Don't worry about me

By Howard Aronson


This is a song about people who used to worry about me all the time. I was so depressed for so many years, and getting high to self medicate. But now that I've gotten sober, I'm much more positive person, and I understand about acceptance, and giving up my will to always be right. And I just feel like people don't have to worry about me anymore, although I know they probably will.

Strangely Bright

By Nicole Krueger


A song about those transient and trivial earthly things, and how in the light of eternity, rather than growing "strangely dim" as the old hymn says, they grow "strangely bright," illuminated, even in their insignificance, by the great significance of their Creator, and by the hope of resurrection. The title is taken from the book of the same name by Joe Rigney. Inspired by Ecclesiastes 3:9-21 and a certain night by the edge of Lake Superior.
