We are not afraid of hights
We are afraid of falling.
We are not afraid of darkness
We are afraid of whats in it.
We are not afraid to love
We are afraid to break.
We are not afraid of life
We are afraid of the mistakes.
We are not afraid to die
We are afraid to leave.
We are not afraid of people
We are afraid to be not good enough.

@ellie howden

God knows what is hiding in those weak and drunken hearts
I guess you kissed the girls and made them cry
Those Hardfaced Queens of misadventure
God knows what is hiding in those weak and sunken eyes
A Fiery throng of muted angels
Giving love but getting nothing back
People help the people
And if your homesick, give me your hand and I'll hold it
People help the people
And nothing will drag you down
Oh and if I had a brain, Oh and if I had a brain
I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
That turned all those good hearts away
God knows what is hiding in this world of little consequence
Behind the tears, inside the lies
A thousand slowly dying sunsets
God knows what is hiding in those weak and drunken hearts
I guess the loneliness came knocking
No one needs to be alone, oh save me
People help the people
And if your homesick, give me your hand and I'll hold it
People help the people
Nothing will drag you down
Oh and if I had a brain, Oh and if I had a brain
I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
That turned, all those good hearts away
People help the people
And if your homesick, give me your hand and I'll hold it
People help the people
Nothing will drag you down
Oh and if I had a brain, Oh and if I had a brain
I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
That turned all those good hearts away

My 25 year old daughter died of Covid pneumonia. This was the last song she listened to in hospital before she was put onto a ventilator. Such a precious memory.
Grace
Hope your doing okay
Michelle Ovens
Hi Grace, it is so hard but I put my faith in Jesus. Thank you

Barry Mantz
@Michelle OvensYes! You put your faith in your Jezus! But isn't he the one who took her away? Is he helping you? Or the millions of people who die every year! Is he such a great guy who wants people dead?
Michelle Ovens
Hi Barry, yes it is hard to understand why God took her inspite of my prayers. But when I ask God for strength HE does so. I just have faith that she is in heaven with her dad who died when she was ten. Stay safe and thank you for your reply.
