Description
ABOUT THE SONG
Written as a response to the horror of a world where hatred and violence seem to be winning, this song is a lament and a search for a different way. Perhaps there are no easy answers, but maybe it begins with us seeing that we are "us" - that we're all in this together on this tender, trembling earth. "When I hurt you, I hurt me."
Inspired by Paul's letter in Romans 12, where he tells the rag-tag band of Jesus followers to "weep with those who weep," and by these powerful words by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. from his letter from a Birmingham jail: “We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”
This video has two versions, the original features a POV of driving on a highway with lyrics, the "Earth" version is focused on our planet and features visuals of our hurting earth. Both feature the same song.
