It Comes And Goes

This song pays homage to the victims of the Orlando Shooting, their loved ones, and the LGBTQ community. Pulling inspiration from Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's "Four Dead in Ohio" this protest song steers away from my typical jazz style in favor of a simpler, folk style. 

Lyrics:
Hate words spoken out of fear
Heard no matter where you go
Kissing's not allowed for queers
50 dead in Orlando

Loud and angry voices claim
To know the only truth there is
Quick to judge and quick to blame
So quick to tell us how to live

Bridge
How can we think it's okay
Judging others in this way
Fear and anger in their eyes
Why can't they hear Orlando's cries?

We let the angry voices yell
We're silent when we shouldn't be
The ones they say are bound for hell
Are friends and neighbors, you and me

Regardless of what you believe
About the way we all should live
Every human should receive
The love your God wants us to give
