As a songwriter, I tend to write songs for or about people in my life. Friendships have never been my forte, and looking back, I'm not sure why half of you have stuck with me for more than a year. Grace abounding, I suppose. I shyed away from friendships for about 3 years out of fear of betrayal, abandonment, and just the pain that will always accompany love. But I know now that I'd rather live with the pain of love than the security of apathy.
This song is dedicated to you, my friends, because I really do love you and appreciate every moment spent with you. I hope that I can convey this beyond lyrics on a facebook note, but please accept it as it is.
Save the World by Elise Dale
Don’t ask me to fly up and away
The gravity weighs me down
And I can’t see through the wall and masquerade
I’m half blinded myself
But I would save the world if I could
Yeah, I would save the world for you
I will not live forever
I already see the lines
And I cannot make the sun shine thru the clouds
Half the time the rain falls from my eyes
But I would save the world if I could
Yeah, I would save the world for you
Don't ask me how to fly
Heaven knows that I am blind
But I would save the world
Gravity weighs me down
And I can't erase these clouds
But I would save the world
Yeah, I would save the world if I could
I would save the world for you
