Life Less Frightening

Em tempos de desastres naturais, é comum que as pessoas se perguntem o que deve nortear as possíveis soluções. Pensei em várias formas de comentar de alguma forma o desastre do Haiti, mas a soma das desigualdades é sempre a fórmula pra um quociente enorme de abusos à vida humana. Por isso gostaria de postar aqui a música Life Less Frightening, da banda Rise Against, que diz um pouco do que penso sobre a vida e o que se passou no país vizinho da República Dominicana.

Life Less Frightening

Suffering from something we're not sure of ina world there is no cure for
these lives we live test negative for happiness
flat line, no pulse, but eyes open
single file like soldiers on a mission
if there's no war outside our heads
Why are we losing?

I don't ask for much
Truth be told I settle for a life less frightening
A life less frightening (2x)

Hang me out to dry I'm soaking
with the sins of knowing
what went wrong, but doing nothing I still run
time again I have found myself stuttering
foundations pulled out from under me
this breath is wasted on them all
will someone aswer me?

(Chorus)

Is there a God tonight
up in the sky
or is it empty just like me?
a place where we can hide
I long to find
where you are all I see.
So blow a kiss goodbye then close your eyes
and tell me what you see?
a lifetime spent inside this dream of mine
Where you are all I see...
