Here is a song that was born out of the pandemic. I would have been touring in Japan then, but some times, you just let the flow decide where you are supposed to be.
"Letter to the world"
aka "My Family My Friends (part 2)"
composed by GOH (guitar/words)
Call your father, call your mother
call your friend, call your teacher
call out to the neighbors, call out to the homeless
share your smile once in a while
Call your grandma, call your grandpa
call your grandkids and the children
call out to the brothers, call out to the sisters
I love you, I miss you from the bottom of my heart
from the bottom of your heart, let's share hearts
I feel your heart
The global family of human beings
is counting on each and every one of us
it's a time for the very things that matter right now
it's quiet here
'cause every body is inside (their homes)
but I know our hearts are together and alive
I am crying out from the city of angels
please be well
Call your girl, call your man
and above all, won't you love yourself
call out the strangers, call out to the reckless
I see you and I hear you
Call the one that's on your mind
everybody hug your pets tight
a shout out to my sisters, a shout out to my brothers
a shout out to the land and sea and air
from the bottom of our hearts
from the bottom of my heart
I will share my heart
won't you share your heart, my family my friends
The world needs healing
mother earth is calling on all of us to realize it matters to care
it's a chance for much brighter days, don't be afraid
birds are singing here, cherry blossoms on my mind
let's get through this come out alive
I am shouting out and my guitar gently weeps
please take care
It's quiet here, and it's been raining out there
but I know the sun will rise and shine
I am calling out to the world from my room
please stay well
