Meanwhile...

I found this in my drafts folder. Somewhere in the robbery of my G4, and return from Africa, I failed to post this. I listened to this song often in Rwanda, especially bounding down the rough roads...and on the flights home. It helped make sense of some of the sadness and beauty I experienced. I'm reminded, almost 5 months later, that the beauty in this song travels well, and continues to bring to light an abiding hope in all things. Enjoy - and if you can, track this song down, it's out of print...(or you could try to contact me)

And in between we'll work it out
Wait for another scene to come about
'Cause we have our love and that makes us free
It's never over

Meanwhile, the sky will always be
Meanwhile, the birds will always fly
Meanwhile, the earth beneath my feet
We will always be
Example
Take a quiet step to another life
With a gentle voice to clear my mind
I can feel your soul and that makes me free
It's never over

Meanwhile, the child will always be
Meanwhile, the love will keep us free
Meanwhile, the peace I hope we'll see
We will always be

We have our love and that's all we need
It's never over

Meanwhile, the sky will always be
Meanwhile, the dove will always fly
Meanwhile, the earth beneath our feet
We will always be

Meanwhile, the words will always be
Meanwhile, the sun will always shine
Meanwhile, the truth I pray we'll find

This is one of those "heartbeat of the earth" songs, I think...speaks to the continuity of things. There is something vastly comforting in that.

I'd like to hear it sometime.
