"Amidst" is my tribute to those who care. It is a song dedicated to humanitarians, first responders, and ordinary folks who risk their lives and extend their hands to help others affected by war, natural disasters, outbreaks, physical, mental, and emotional turmoil. The world awaits an angel's love.
lyrics
You led me to an ancient path
And shared with me a vision
Of tranquil places where life is safe
And sheltered against indifference.
In selfless quest amidst unrest
You hear their endless pleas
You hold a hand and wipe a tear
And whisper "You are free."
Refrain:
What am I to say, what am I to do?
Pierce your dedication so I could be with you?
But I have to let you, let you go
The world awaits an angel's love I'll never know. I'll never know. Ooh.
Amidst the tortured spirits
You bring serenity
Amidst the wounded innocence
You raise humanity
You speak of days when peace is here
Amidst a mortal strife
When deaf can hear beyond the fear
When blind can see the light.
Repeat Refrain:
Chorus:
Clad with courage, you search the truth
Immersed in compassion, you wash the pain
When time's endured, come back to me
And in my heart I'll still be me
I'll still be me.
Repeat Refrain:
