Charley (Asheville Demos)

Suncatcher (Asheville Demos)

Today I saw a 3 year old walk into court on her own. 
It was shown to me on a video screen, a computer screen, from the safety of a screen
While that child had to answer in another language, 
"No, I don't understand what's going on here today." 
She said, "No, I don't understand what's going on here today." 
The judge looked at her from his high, high place
A full grown man with an old, white face. 
He said, "Do you know what a lawyer is?" 
She said, "I don't know what a lawyer is." 

"Well, ho hum, golly gee. What to do, well let me see.
Ho hum, golly gee, whatever shall we do?" 

CHORUS 
This new world hath been the asylum for the persecuted lovers of civil and religious liberty, from every part of Europe. Hither have they fled, not from the tender embraces of the mother but from the cruelty of the monster. 
(From, "Common Sense," by Thomas Paine)

"Well, ho hum, golly gee. What to do, well let me see.
Ho hum, golly gee, whatever shall we do?" 

Today I saw women I've known since I was 9 years old 
Defend atrocities on computer screens, from behind the screen, 
From the safety of a screen
While that child in another state, 
Separated from her family,
Locked up in a cage

Oh, what did these babies do? 

While that family in another state 
Separated from each other 
Abused in a cage 

Oh, what did these families do? 

So tell me what did what your family do? 
How did they get here? 
Tell me about you. 

Your family did the same for you. 
How did you get here?
Tell me about you. 

CHORUS

Became the monster. 
Became the monster. 
Became the monster. 
Became the monster.

All The Pure Souls Out There

This World is So Alive

About how literally one day can completely change the direction of your life, even when it seems like you are stuck in the situation you're in and that there's no hope. 

There are several themes in the song: 

1. A deep trusting in the flow of life/existence/the universe
2. Hope for when you feel utterly stuck or in despair 
3. Making an effort to see the soul/core/true essence that lies beyond the outward facade of each person.

A Day Can Change Your Whole Existence
