What If Music Could Heal? (from Winthrop, WA)

What if music could heal?

Our world could heal

Our hearts connected by a common string

Where we can hang all our uncertainty

Our wounds, our vulnerability 

Declaring we have nothing left to 

lose or gain

All with music 

Sweet music that heals

What if music could heal

The gaps that keep us separate

On our isolated islands of pain?

And we could tell our stories

Through our failures and our glories

Right the wrongs through songs that speak our truth

And plant the seeds to bring new growth

With music

Sweet music that heals

What if music could heal

White people who feel

The only narrative is what we learned in school?

And for a sacred moment 

We'd dispel the blinding darkness

That perpetuates the madness

Of the hate that lives within

When we pretend we are the only ones alive

Oh music, sweet music that feels

Oh music, sweet music that heals

Vibrate from the center of our lives

Move to the rhythm of connection baby
