My next lyrical adventure, with the working title Saving Our Lives, was inspired partially by the terrible story of a 51-year-old man who texted that he was okay after the explosion at the airport in Brussels, only to be killed in the metro bombing. I happen to be turning 51 this week. I know that inspiration from thinking about one’s mortality has been just about done to well…
For what am I waiting? This is really nothing new for me. Every so often something happens that inspires me to strive to live “better.” That of course means different things for all of us. For me it’s partially to love better. Pastor Charlie – who married my wife & I many years ago and unfortunately passed from this world not too many years after that – impressed me as being someone who truly lived his life to serve others. While I don’t claim to be attempting to achieve that level of selflessness, I would like to step in that direction.
It also includes not being afraid of doing, and taking the time to do, things like making my album. Which may very well be selfish.
The proposed song initially plays with all types of saving (see the first “notes” below).
More than likely, I’ll slide back into the day-to-day. Maybe, together, we can give each other the support to do better. Unless, of course, you’re already at the level you want to be at – then kudos & send some positive vibes.

“Saving Our Lives”
I want to save your life
Saving the living for later
Quality (of) life
Life saving
Life savings
I can’t save your soul
I can only save your place
And that may be
My saving grace
Who will come to the rescue
Who will be our hero
Saving our lives
Worried about
saving face
Saving time
