Song 443: How Can You Not Be Curious

How Can You Not Be Curious?

1/19/12 | Song # 441

From The Musical “Soles”

Refrain:
How can you not be curious?
How come you don’t wonder why?
How can you not be curious
When there’s something that you haven’t tried?

Why do we keep on perpetuating patterns
That never seemed to work before?
What if there was an elegant solution
That would empower you to pick yourself up off the floor?
Maybe you’d consider learning just a little more?

Refrain:

Somebody said the definition of insanity
Is doing nothing different and hoping for a new result
What if we dare to put in practice
Something that might be less difficult?
Maybe you’d consider bringing me in to consult?

Refrain:

If it makes ‘em feel good to make fun of me
They’re welcome to go right ahead
I decided to not be bothered
By what somebody said somebody said….
So think about it is it worth being dead?

What if you just got curious?
What if you wondered why?
What if you just got curious?
And let what they said slide by?

Bridge:
What if it wasn’t personal?
What if it was all a test?
What if it was merely practice
A chance for us to do our best?

What if we just got curious?
What if we wondered why?
What if we just got curious?
And let what they said slide by…

Been singing the chorus since the first day I heard it…

I sh*t you not when I say I’ve been singing the chorus to Honest Rock since the first day I heard it. I sing this every single day. Many times a day. Seriously. It’s like a mantra to me. It soothes me:-)

Hi Mark, I just had to tell you this. I emailed my 3 granddaughters the song you wrote who are sisters with the youngest being 11 years old, has cerebral palsy and is very smart, is able to talk, very funny, uses a computer, is able to write, now is learning to play drums, emails me ‘Thanks. I do.’ I loved the song and listened to it 3 times.

Your lyrics embody everything we hold sacred…

Your lyrics embody everything we hold sacred and dear as a faith community.

Gina Sullivan, Sisters of the Congregation of St. Joseph

For me these songs are transformational lessons in self-love…

Dear Mark, THANK YOU for sending *Spark & Flame*!!!! This CD certainly is a compilation of Conscious Love Songs! As I listen I am transported to memory after memory past, present and future, fulfilled and unfulfilled. I was flooded with many different emotions. I cried, laughed, held my breath and also breathed deep heart-centered breaths of connection to the Divine. I feel joy, grief, sadness, compassion, love, awe, freedom, kindness, gratitude and appreciation. For me these songs are transformational lessons in self-love, releasing, acceptance for what was, what is and who I am. Knowing that I am enough and that I am Divinely Loved.

J

You have put a grown man in tears…

Mark, this song and message really hit home for me today. You have put a grown man in tears. Thank You for what you do. Sometimes I think you sound kind of cheesy, and then others, I think you are a genius, and I’m beginning to realize that you actually care about helping people. So hard to “get out of your own way” sometimes…thanks for the reminder.

Jeremy
