We Won’t Run

From Sarah Blasko’s ‘We Won’t Run’:

Cos we won’t run,
we can fight,
all that keeps us up at night.
There is far,
to go now.
Let’s not waste a minute more.

But oh, that our eyes,
will be open.
Oh, that our eyes,
will be open.
Oh, that our eyes,
will be open.

It is sad but true
that sad songs stick the most.
Methinks any song
that only solidifies or magnifies poignancy is not good enough…
because there is already too much sadness in the world.

I think we should always try,
and struggle if you will,
to write towards a possible remedy always,
to sing towards a hopeful melody always,
and not leave any melancholy hanging.
