Somewhere to Begin

This is one of the songs that Sara did that I really liked (being a child of the 60’s this reminds of some of our folk/protest songs. She also reminds many of us from my generation of Joan Baez and the writings of Bob Dylan.

Somewhere to Begin
By T. R. Ritchie

People say to me “Oh, you gotta be crazy,
How can you sing in times like these?
Don’t you read the news?
Don’t you know the score?
How can you sing when so many others grieve?”
People say to me, “What kind of fool believes that songs
Will make a difference in the end?”

By way of a reply, I say a fool such as I
Who sees a song as somewhere to begin
A song is somewhere to begin
The search for something worth believing in
If changes are to come
There are things that must be done
And a song is somewhere to begin.

Other verses…Dance, Dream, Love
