Off the Ground

In a hotel room in Dallas
On the Fourth of July
Strumming on a rented six string
To drown out the highway noise

Your cat opens the cabinets 
and tracks litter everywhere
But I’m grateful for Hope’s company
Her and Jamison make a great pair

And I hate that I was mean 
On that night when I first got to town
But you poured gasoline 
Lit the match, burned your whole life down
And now it’s up to me
To pick what’s left of you off the ground

I drove you to the ER
At the advice of the doctor at the urgent care
Then I emptied your apartment 
Carried it down three flights of stairs 

You don’t feel like talking
And I don’t blame you at all
I get up from the window seat 
To help you change your hospital gown

And I hate that I was mean 
On that night when I first got to town
But you poured gasoline 
Lit the match, burned your whole life down
And now it’s up to me
To pick what’s left of you off the ground

Flying with hope
To our childhood home
Where you can heal 
Where you won’t be alone

And I hate that I was mean 
On that night when I first got to town
But you poured gasoline 
Lit the match, burned your whole life down
And now it’s up to you
To pick what’s left of you off the ground

Off The Ground - FAWM 2024 demo

Turning of the Year

This song evokes 2 memories. 1st: Singing this when I was 3 yrs old and hearing 'other voices' sing with me. This production is uncannily  close to what it sounded like. I've never heard those 'other voices' again but the memory still fills me over 50 years later. 2nd is a dear woman suffering from cancer, told me, "Each morning I get out of bed, put this song on, lay flat on my face and worship God. It helps me face the day."
