(Here's another emotional write that was originally put together three years ago, but I re-wrote after watching the movie "Water" (nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Film), which really made me cry and broke my heart watching, and this song is for everyone who has endured any form of physical abuse or hardship and has struggled to find emotional support or someone to reach out to and trust.  )* Pretty Soon By: Noah Eaton 1/29/07 There's a woman feelin' scared tonight, shugging her shoulders, feelin' insecure, she consecrates her bread and wine, but is there an answer, she's not so sure. Pretty soon she'll feel like, she's standing half a world away, she reads the bottom line like a shirttail, feels like the same old ending, the same match play, I said soon enough, they will come find you There's a woman feelin' confused right now, she feels cut right to the bone, when you feel there's no one around, strangers are just family you have yet to know. Pretty soon she might be leaving everything behind, she wants to speak her mind, but the memory leaves her feeling disinclined, I said soon enough, they will come find you. What are we really waiting for, long after we pay the stipend? When you stare up at the sky, does the earth around you feel like an island? Well pretty soon, they'll come find you. It's like a forgotten heirloom, or a crescent moon, when you take hold of something, but it leaves a little too soon, from the inside looking out, everyone pretends they know about, what they see beyond the shadow of doubt, but somehow nothing has evened out. There's a woman feelin' vulnerable, to all these voices and illusions haunting her, she wears an imprompted smile, cause she's afraid once more gettin' hurt. Pretty soon she'll be at her knees, bleeding as she's praying, and she'll try to understand, all of which she has been weighing, I said soon enough. they will come find you What are we really looking for, when we stare up at the stars? When you look way too far, do you forget where you are? Well pretty soon, they'll come find you. I said pretty soon, they'll come find you... "If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other" Mother Teresa |
