This song is for healing, for reconciliation, and for strengthening our loving connections with each other during this pandemic. I am offering it for free, but asking you to pay what you can to download and listen to this song. I am recording more music for you that spreads messages of love and empathy, and I really need your financial support.
Share it with your loved ones. This is meant to provide hope (hope as in fierce, fighting, deep love for the future of humanity) in this time of uncertainty, pain, and systemic change. I thought about not releasing it because I do not want to obscure Black voices with more noise from a white person. I decided the song is still necessary. I wrote and recorded it over the past two months to spread hope/love during this pandemic, and I think that we still need these things, especially as we fight for radical change. Please consider paying something for this song. I love you all.
Just keep breathing
Just keep breathing
Just keep breathing
I wanna plant a garden with you
I wanna plant peas and tomatoes
And peppers and berries too
I wanna plant a garden with you
I wanna see the sprouts grow tall
Glistening with morning dew
Our hands will work the soil
We'll feed our family
Our hands will work the soil
And we'll just keep breathing, just keep breathing, just keep breathing
You and me
I wanna plant an orchard with you
I wanna see the morning sun
light the trees we grew
I wanna plant an orchard with you
I wanna see the evening moon
Bathe the trees in blue
Our hands will work the soil
We'll feed our family
Our hands will work the soil
And we'll just keep breathing, just keep breathing, just keep breathing
You and me
I wanna heal the world with you
The pandemic is moving fast
And we have so much to lose
I wanna heal the world with you
I wanna write songs and sing
The truth and only the truth
I wanna heal the world with you
Our leader is failing us
And we have so much to lose
Our hands will work the soil
We'll feed our family
Our hands will work the soil
And we'll just keep breathing, just keep breathing, just keep breathing
Just keep breathing, just keep breathing, just keep breathing
Just keep breathing, just keep breathing, just keep breathing
You and me
So let's plant a garden
Let's stick together
Let's let the light in
Whatever the weather
