about

We like to label and group people - young/old, foreign/indigenous, smart/dumb, emigrant/immigrant/refugee. But bad things happen when we can't see ourselves in others.

lyrics

Touch Me Now
Rick Parnell

I'm cold and still shaken
Never built to be alone
Cracked but not quite broken
Lighted embers losing glow

For now I cling to the darkness
With a coat so clearly torn
Knowing the castoffs and the cover
The little that might keep me strong

If I stand another hour
If I could make just one clear sound
If you know that I'm still human
touch me now


In this life we are all children
Our fears are each our own
A turn is surely coming
The weak now will soon be strong

If I stand another hour
If I could make just one clear sound
If you know that I am human
touch me now


You can feel the wind behind us
You can hear the whispers roar
You can feel this moment's history
You feel the rose above your thorn

If I stand another hour
If I could make just one clear sound
If you know that I am human
touch me now

touch me now
touch me now
touch me now
you know that I'm still human
touch me now
