Magical Moment 112, "How?"

Man, this blog is really gonna force me to put all my songs out there. Some are better quality than others. All are a work in progress. Here is one I started writing years ago, but only finished recently. Recording is a bit rough, but hope you enjoy. Click play at the bottom to hear recording.

“How”
Words and music by Elizabeth Grimes copyright 2009
Vs 1:
The first question asked when something goes wrong
Is, What have I done? Or, Why me God?
I can’t deny the thought’s crossed my head.
But what’s burning me up is another question instead.

Chorus:
How do you change overnight when you swore that you’d love me for the rest of my life?
And how do I make it through the night without you here to hold me and be by my side?
And how do I trust again when you’ve broken every promise and word you’ve ever said?
Just tell me how feelings that strong can be so convincing and then go all wrong?

Vs 2:
I would have bet my life that you’d still be here
When I’m old and I’m gray in fifty or more years.
You swore up and down you’re love was secure
Til I finally was at ease and you made me fee sure.
There’s just one thing you didn’t explain
And I’d like to know, if it’s not too much pain.

Chorus:
How do you change overnight when you swore that you’d love me for the rest of my life?
And how do I make it through the night without you here to hold me and be by my side?
And how do I trust again when you’ve broken every promise and word you’ve ever said?

Bridge:
I’m begging for answers so answer me please.
If I could just read your mind to put mine at ease.

Chorus:
How do you change overnight when you swore that you’d love me for the rest of my life?
And how do I make it through the night without you here to hold me and be by my side?
And how do I trust again when you’ve broken every promise and word you’ve ever said?
Just tell me how feelings that strong can be so convincing and then go all wrong?

Repeat and fade

Magical Moment 620, "Lilac Garden"

Eddie and I visited the Lilac Gardens at Ringwood Manor in New Jersey, a pristine and beautiful state park with 8 species of lilacs and several varieties within. We went on a rainy afternoon, which turned out perfect because the rain stopped for us when we got there, and began again as soon as we left. It also decorated the plants with gorgeous rain drops, adding to their beauty.  And now for a quick game of "Where's Elizabeth?" And "Where's Eddie?" ~~Have a great weekend! ~~

Magical Moment 625, "Thailand - the Elephants"

Needless to say, my favorite part of our Thailand vacation, was our week long volunteering at  Elephant Nature Park ! The logging industry was banned in Thailand in 1989, leaving thousands of elephants unemployed. These elephants are now used for tourism. You may have heard of elephant shows featuring the animals playing soccer or painting pictures with their trunks. They are no doubt amazing to watch, but the sad truth is that these elephants have gone through a series of torture and abuse to "break their spirit" by their trainers. This short clip is very hard to watch, but it will give you an idea of what the elephants in captivity in the country of Thailand go through. The only elephants in Thailand who do  not  endure this, are the very few baby elephants who are first generation born in "safe captivity" at places like Elephant Nature Park. Every other elephant at this park has been brutally abused. Some have been blinded by their owners, le...

"Tijuana, First-hand Facts of the Red-Tent Asylum Process"

My mind is so full of information that I want to share with you all from my week in Tijuana. This post will be just that, information. Factual and first hand. Witnessed and experienced by me. Thousands of migrants from all over the world, mainly from Central America, have traveled to Tijuana’s west U.S. port of entry seeking safety, better economic conditions, and/or to be with family already in the U.S. My motivation for taking this volunteer trip was to help the families in the extreme asylum-seeking cases - those who live in terror and fear both IN their home country and FROM their home country. Gangs and governments work hand in hand to target and terrorize families for their own personal interests. There is a list. The list has numbers on it. Asylum seekers want to get a number from this list and they want their number to be called. Like a deli. I was incapable of finding answers as to who creates this list, who decides how many numbers are on the list, and basically any ot...
