I wrote this in the Spring of 1980. This is what I believe “Community” is all about whether it’s a church or a volunteer fire department. Are we willing to recognize the wounded places in all of us and be a part of the healing process rather than the separating, tearing apart process that seems to mark modern life?
Let me know what you think in the comments below!
Peace. Love. Groovyness!

LYRICS:
TEARS AT A MOMENT’S NOTICE
Song #44 | Spring 1980 | Recorded Spring 2024
Refrain:
Will we risk tears at a moment’s notice?
Love that dares to show?
Arms that share the aching?
Eyes that always know?
Will we dare to live our lives
Among the wide open spaces?
Will we dare to reach inside
To touch and heal the damaged places?Will we dare to lose ourselves
In the “dangerous” embraces?
Refrain:
And when the empty, righteous ones
Tangle you aside
With dulling exhortations
That always fail to hide
The deeper things around us
That no pat answer can describe,
Refrain:
Can you see the possibilities
Of living to the edge
Can you feel the sense of liberty
In what some call “sacrilege”
Did you know that being fully human
Is a God given privilege?
Refrain:
