There Is So Much More - Brett Dennen

When I heard the news

My heart fell on the floor

I was on a plane on my way to Baltimore

In these troubled times it’s hard enough as it is

My soul has a known a better life than this

I wonder how so many can be in so much pain

While others don’t seem to feel a thing

Then I curse my whiteness

And I get so damn depressed

In a world of suffering

Why should I be so blessed?

I heard about a woman who lives in Colorado

She built a monument of sorts behind the garage door

Where everyday she prays for all whom are born

And all whose souls have passed on

Sometimes my trouble gets so thick

I can’t see how I’m gonna get through it

But, then I’d rather be stuck up in a tree

Then be tied to it

There is so much more

I don’t feel comfortable with the way my clothes fit

I can’t get used to my body’s limits

I got some fancy shoes to try and kick away these blues

They cost a lot of money but they aren’t worth a thing

I wanna free my feet from the broken glass and concrete

I need to get out of this city

Lay upon the ground stare a hole in the sky

Wondering where I go when I die

…When I die
