It has been quite awhile since I’ve updated my blog. I suppose I just haven’t felt “inspired” enough lately. Whatever the reason, I’ve decided to get back in the swing of things.
Today, Ben Sollee’s cover of “A Change is Gonna Come” brought a smile to my face and made me feel just a tad more optimistic after a rough day.
Well, it’s dark in the city
I’ve lost my pride
The lights in the streets hide the stars from my eyes
It’s been a long, long time coming
But I know that change is gonna come
And it’s too hard living
But I’m afraid to die
Cause I don’t know what’s up there
Just beyond the sky
It’s been a long, long time coming
But I know that change is gonna come
And I miss my family
My little girl
She is my princess
I’d give her the world
It’s been a long, long time coming
But I know that change is gonna come
I just need some comfort
Some kind of belief
That this war we’re fighting
Can really bring some peace
There’s no rhyme nor reason
Or sweet melody
More and more weapons
mean less security
It’s been a long, long time coming
But I know that change is gonna come
And I’ve tried to find it
Some better place
Where having the biggest gun
ain’t some kind of race
It’s been a long, long time coming
But I know that change is gonna come
There’s been times I thought
I couldn’t last for long
But now I think I’m able
To carry on
It’s been a long, long time coming
But I know that change is gonna come
It’s been a long, long time coming
But I know that change is gonna come
Yes, a change is gonna come
This is also my absolute favorite song Ben plays from the album. I just can’t get enough of him on the cello in this song!
Here’s to hoping for some (good) changes in life!
i really like the lyrics to this song. i haven’t heard much of Ben’s music beside, Dear Companion, which i absolutely love. so i really need to download his stuff.
You’ve been busy! I’m glad you’re back to blogging!
