Lonely Everywhere
I was in Hollywood doing some work and visiting my friend @jasonpaige He is an amazing artist and the original singer of the Pokemon theme song. We got into a discussion about Steemit. This conversation led me into cajoling him into joining me for this weeks addition of openmic We hope to see alot more of him on here.
Thank you Jason.
I have found myself sickened at the lack of heart and the hypocrisy of those whose actions are such a far cry from their stated beliefs.
My words are sometimes best expressed through song. Compassion, love, kindness.
We need to find compassion in our hearts for the plight of others whose journey we know nothing of.
Here's my song and my heart on my sleeve for the week:
Lonely Everywhere
By: Carl John
Sitting alone on a cold park bench
Tossed like the trash
For someone she just met
That's the sound of lonely everywhere
Rain fallin down against a window pane
Match the tears you cry inside that drive you Insane
That's the sound of lonely everywhere
You don't know / how the home fires glow/ for someone that you havent met / but you surely know
Cause that's the sound of lonely everywhere
A mothers in tears in a war torn land
A son lost to a fight that she don't understand
That's the sound of lonely everywhere
We don't know / how the home fires glow/ for a heart we haven't met / but we surely know
That's the sound of lonely everywhere
Yeah that the sound of lonely everywhere
An unborn child in a foreign land
nowhere left to go
theres no room at the inn
Thats the sound of lonely everywhere
Stop Building Walls, Start Taking Them Down

I too have often found myself at such conclusions, man. Awesome song brother, Carl! I'd really like to hear this produced. What a great little off-the-cuff collab from you and your bud, Jason. Nice!

Beautiful song ❤️I especially loved the contrast between the beatboxing percussion in the beginning and the gentleness of the music and vocals that came in right after.
This song broke my heart in the best way. ❤️ Beautiful songwriting.

Another nice original, mate. Nice yet sad. Always admired the calmness in your voice. We feel it!
Also, great to see @jasonpaige back on Steemit after being inactive for a few months. Does this mean a re-entry on Steemit?
