The Belly of Crisis

Verse 1:

I wake

In the belly of crisis

And I lose my faith.

I've had

A night-mare

I am frightened

And I lose my way.

I live

Amongst less-than-enlightened

My pa-tience is frayed.

Chorus:

But kind-ness

Mat-ters

Il-lusions shatter

And peace oft' is tattered

By mis-takes

Unclaimed.

Verse 2

I live

In the rat race of life

And I lose my faith.

I give

To the in-di-gent

Trite

Resource gone to waste.

And I have

Em-path-y for your plight

And I

Lose my faith.

Chorus:

But kind-ness

Mat-ters

Peace oft' is tattered

In-tell-i-gence scatters

In-to stakes unclaimed.

Verse 3:

I sleep

In the bliss of the night

And you lose your way.

I wake

From a night-mare

I'm frightened

And I

Lose my faith.

And I'll die

In the belly of crisis

A blemish-

Earth's stain

Chorus:

But kind-ness

Mat-ters

Il-lusions shatter

The balance is tethered

By all to reclaim.

Verse 4:

I fes-ter

In the belly of crisis

And I

Lose my faith

I stagnate

Stay in the si-lence of stasis

In-tell-i-gence waste.

Chorus:

But kind-ness

Mat-ters

Il-lusions shatter

And in-tel-lect scatters

In-to

All unclaimed.

Sing to end-fading slowly, but like chant losing vocal strength

I wake in the belly of crisis

You wake

In the belly of crisis

She wakes

In the belly of crisis

They wake

In the belly of crisis

We wake

In the belly of crisis

We are

Our own

Belly of crisis.
