To see ordinary people and celebrities using their voice to cope with our troubled times, gives me so much hope for the future. I feel I belong, I feel I am one of them -even so, my voice is more of a whisper in the blogging world.
Don’t lie to me – Barbra Streisand (New Album “Walls)
Why can’t you just tell me the truth?
Hard to believe the things you say
Why can’t you feel the tears I cried today?
Cried today, cried today
How do you win if we all lose?
You change the facts to justify
Your lips move but your words get in the way
In the way, in the way
Kings and Queens, crooks and thieves
You don’t see the forest for the trees
Head and heart, on our knees
You can’t see what we all see
How do you sleep when the world keeps turning?
All that we built has come undone
How do you sleep when the world is burning?
Everyone answers to someone
Don’t lie to me, don’t lie to me, you lie to me
Don’t lie to me, don’t lie to me, you lie to me
You can build towers of bronze and gold
You can build castles in the sky
You can use smoke and mirrors, old clichés
Not today, not today
Kings and Queens, crooks and thieves
You don’t see the forest for the trees
Head on heart, down on knees
You can’t see what everyone sees
How do you sleep when the world keeps turning?
All that we built has come undone
How do you sleep when the world is burning?
Everyone answers to someone
Don’t lie to me, don’t lie to me, you lie to me
Don’t lie to me, don’t lie to me, you lie to me
Can’t you see I’m crying?
Can’t you see we’re crying?
Where’s the new horizon?
Where’s the new horizon?
Thank you so much for sharing Barbra’s new song. It’s wonderful and I had not heard it. I’ve been a fan “forever” and she continues to surprise me!
Me too, I love ever since “Funny Girl.” Gosh so long ago and we are both still around. Blessed we are!
The album is good. I think you will like it.
So long as we all keep whispering, eventually we will be heard!
I like that concept.
Love her!
