Although this song was written in 1967, it is very much a song for our times.
Hit the play button and really listen to the words.
Tune out the voices that sow discord among us and remember the truth of who we are; good people who never fail to open their hearts when it truly matters.
Let’s all remember who we were before they told us we hate each other.
There are times when I truly dislike the world in which we live. I sometimes feel that the more we evolve the less civilized we become. There is no doubt that advances in science and technology have made the world a better place. There is no doubt that those advances have made our lives easier and have reduced suffering. But what about our humanity?
Among the many places I have lived over the past few years, my favorite was a 150-year-old Victorian house. Living in a historical house was an eye-opening experience. It was a glimpse into the lifestyles of people now long gone.
I listen to the wind, to the wind of my soul
Where I’ll end up, well I think only God really knows
I’ve sat upon the setting sun…
But never, never, never, never
I never wanted water once
No never, never, never
I listen to my words but they fall far below
I let my music take me where my heart wants to go
I swam upon the Devil’s lake…
But never, never, never, never
I’ll never make the same mistake
No – never, never, never
Cat Stevens
