HOW 022215 - CUSHIONS
James Michael Taylor
HOW
I’ve got a friend. He is in trouble
But he just stands there in the rubble
It seems each day his sorrows double
He needs to know. He needs to know
How do you keep your hand from shaking
How do you keep your fear from waking
How do you keep your heart from aching
He needs to know. He needs to know.
You’re probably expecting to find out
I’m projecting but I’m not
I’ve got my life in order.
Just want to help a brother like we’re taught
Don’t want to hear no empty jiving
We’re talking here about surviving
Some simple truth that will enliven
I want to know. He wants to know.
You’re probably expecting to find out
I’m projecting but I’m not
I’ve got my life in order.
Just want to help a brother like we’re taught
How do you keep your hand from shaking
How do you keep your fear from waking
How do you keep your heart from breaking
I wanna know. I wanna know.
We just need to know. We just need to know.

This one made me cry. Deep, touching lyrics. Powerful. Reaching. I of course don't really know what this is specifically about, but what I read into it from my own experiences, PTSD. If so, thank you for putting it into words for us who live it, and for getting it.
Wow! Amazing!! Really powerful song. All the best to those who were in your mind as you wrote this one.
