same rain

"I have learned that community reaches far beyond what eyes can see and though miles divide us, at some point we're all washed by the same rain." ~Pat Humphries

7 - face the music

I went to school in Schenectady
just far enough from home
before I'd go to bed at night
I'd set my mind to roam.
I'd listen to the radio
new words rose in the air
giving voice to these new feelings
I'd kept hidden by my fear.

You taught me to face the music
I'm so thankful to know that you're there
sending out signals across the air.
In the words of a song,
I found a place where I belong.

My thoughts were daring and anxions
I was not alone.
I struggled out from beneath the sheets
and hurried for the phone
I called the number she gave out
I rehearsed each line with care
in the hopes that she would answer
and with her these words I'd share.

She told me of a community
that we are everywhere
She talked of concerts and festivals
not too far from here.
Though we each have our own voice
we're much stronger in a crowd.
I'm a woman loving woman
say it strong and say it proud.
