lyrics

even with sufficient bravery
and certainly will
often it's impossible for one person to stand up
and say what one thing they need to
for any kind of help
and for how ever many reasons
personal and communal and mutual and...
and neither is there a mark that another might see
upon meeting
there is nothing to show
the stranger who becomes the friend
hey, what's wrong?
this is not hopelessness
this is not resignment
or a sense of defeat
this is celebration
amid the swirl of seasons
this is love
this is the work and struggle of personal trouble
this is cohesion
