Three Feet or So - Carrie Newcomer

When I’m weary lost or sad

Overwhelmed or just fed up

I say grace for what I have

And most the time that is enough

We are body, skin and bones

We’re all the loss we’ve ever known

What is gone is always near

We’re all the love that brought us here

And the things that have saved us

Are still here to save us

It’s not out there somewhere

It’s right here, it’s right here

If I start by being kind

Love usually follows right behind

It nods its head and softly hums

Saying «Honey that’s the way it’s done.»

We don’t have to search for love

Wring our hands and wring our hearts

All we have to do is know

The love will find us in the dark

And the things that have saved us

Are still here to save us

It’s not out there somewhere

It’s right here, it’s right here

I can’t change the whole world

But I can change the world I know

What’s within three feet or so

We are body, skin and bones

We’re all the love we’ve ever known

When I don’t know what is right

I hold it up into the Light

I hold it up into the Light

I hold it up into the Light
