about
I spent most of my adult life in NYC where you swim in a sea of humanity every day. So many people, so many stories, and all of them demanding your attention....it can become easy to excuse oneself from empathy. But if we do that, the world doesn't work. This is called responsibility.
lyrics
She’s poor but she’s honest, she begs but she don’t steal
She offers me a blessing in exchange for her next meal
She must know what I’m thinking, the words that I don’t say
If I don’t acknowledge you, perhaps you’ll go away
Go away
I wish she’d go away
I see him on my corner, cardboard for his bed
He holds a conversation with the voices in his head
I like to think he has a home, a family somewhere
I pass him everyday and pretend that he’s not there
He’s not there
I wish he wasn’t there
And where do I go with this responsibility?
Who do I turn to to set my conscience free?
How can your eyes touch a perfect stranger?
The burden of your life, it can’t really
It can’t really rest on me
This responsibility
Can it really rest on me?
This responsibility?
She holds a baby to her breast. Her hand reaches to me
She asks not for herself, but for her hungry family
I lose her voice so easily within the city sounds
But the cooing of a baby makes me stop and turn around
I turn around
Thank God I turn around
But now where do I go with this responsibility?
Who do I turn to to set my conscience free?
How can your eyes touch a perfect stranger?
The burden of your life, can it really
Does it really rest on me?
This responsibility
Does it really rest on me?
This responsibility
I believe, I believe, I believe it rests on me
I believe, I believe, I believe it rests on me
I believe, I believe, I believe it rests on me
I believe, I believe, I believe it rests on me
This responsibility
I believe, I believe, I believe it rests on me
I believe, I believe, I believe it rests on me
I believe, I believe, I believe it rests on me
I believe, I believe, I believe it rests on me
