Musical Sunday

Welcome to Musical Sunday and to this wonderful song from 2007 by Mary Chapin Carpenter, which provides a good antidote for the despair it's so easy to feel nowadays ...

Here are the lyrics -

Let's go down to the fields tonight

Where the grass grows 'round our knees

Lay down in the silver light

Tripping through the trees

Broken halo in my hand

The distance in your eyes

The past is gone, good luck, so long

Cross ourselves and hope to fly

No road maps, no signposts

No North Star, no lifeboats

No cavalry coming in sight

But we're all right

Let's feel small in the world tonight

Beneath the giant sky

Forget for once who's wrong or right

Just let it all go by

Close our eyes when we grow tired

And dream of where we'll be

And night gives way to another day

Have we ever woken up this free?

No road maps, no signposts

No North Star, no lifeboats

No miracles coming in sight

But we're all right

I never had a talisman

I never wore a charm

But it's not too late to believe that fate

Was always keeping us from harm

No road maps, no signposts

No North Star, no lifeboats

No miracles coming in sight

No voices to guide us

No angels beside us

No shaman, no mystical lights

We're all right

No omens, no compass

No Seer, no prophet

No cavalry coming in sight

But we're all right

But we're all right

We're all right

We're all right

Have a good day and enjoy the rest of your weekend - we're all right.

More thoughts coming.
