Musical Worldview: Mike Doughty, "Move On (Bloom Like the Sunlight in My Song)"
“Yeah, I believe the war is wrong
Don't believe that nations can be steered
Lead the world by smarts and compassion
By example, not coercion, force and fear”
“Yeah, I believe the war is wrong
Don't believe that nations can be steered
Lead the world by smarts and compassion
By example, not coercion, force and fear”
“When your faith in life is gone
Come and speak to me
When you're down and all messed up
Seek my sympathy
And everybody says no, no, no
Well it's your misfortune and none of my own
Wrong, wrong, wrong
Well it's, your misfortune that sweetens my song
I can be the friend you want
I can be your confidant
I can be the
Right reminder at the right time
Throwing out the life line
Stand in the light, stand in the light, stand in the light (x2)
When your face is caked in mud
Come and speak to me
When the chill creeps in your blood
Seek my sympathy
When everybody say no, no, no
Well it's your misfortune and none of my own
Wrong, wrong, wrong
Well it's your mistfortune that sweetens my song
I can be the air you drink
Every single though you think
I can be the right notion in the mean time
Warm you like the sunshine
Stand in the light, stand in the light, stand in the light”
As the Musical Worldview Project (finding wisdom in lyrics) hits 100 entries, what better way to celebrate than an hour-long playlist of hand-picked Holiday At The Sea Musical Worldview Project family favorites.
Sit back, relax, and let the music take your mind (and encourage you to think about what kind of world you’d like to see and what kind of person you’d like to become to make that world a reality).
We’re all in this together.
Keep on keepin’ on.
Playlist (with links to each song’s original appearance in the Musical Worldview Project, including the lyrics that prompted the song’s inclusion):
“They say that God is great
They say that God is love and I believe them
Don’t fear the random fate
I trust the hand of the Almighty and the infinite
His truth is marching on
Let me know your enormity
And my tininess
And help me see your infinity
And my finiteness
And I’m fucking starved for love
I deeply need to feel connection with the infinite
I want the nourishment
I need to drink it just like water, and it will sustain me
His truth is marching on”
