Single Notes

from Road To Wilderness by Britt Kusserow

about

The 2004 US presidential election was depressing for lots of us.

lyrics

It took awhile to figure out
what the sound was, as I drifted off.
A million voices raised to shout.
Just to hold their liberty aloft.

And as I joined them in my sleep
all the faces drifted into one.
Bow together, let us weep
at the joke our country has become.

And I know I was raised in a generation of apathy.
But I think I've got a say in who should lead.
And I know there are others who feel like I do.
It takes all the single notes to make a tune.

Everything is day to day.
All my plans they, they come and go.
And why I waste my time on them
is something I may never know.

It's easy just to raise my voice
and sing out for what I think I believe.
But until I make an effort, here,
how can I expect to lead?

And I know I was raised in a generation of apathy.
But I think I've got a say in who should lead.
And I know there are others who feel like I do.
It takes all the single notes to make a tune.

Single notes with single prayers.
Single hearts so unaware.
Single fires left to burn.
Single lessons I should learn.
Single moves with simple steps.
Single face above the rest.

And I know I was raised in a generation of apathy.
But I've got to have some say in who should lead.
And I know countless others who feel like I do.
It takes all the single notes to make a tune.

Single notes with single prayers.
Single hearts, oh, oh.
