about

Crazy Times: It’s a social statement song based on my perceptions. I got the idea as I was watching the 24 hour news shows in 2016 and as my emotions began to surface, so did the song. It is about race and political issues, how we treat each other based on our differing opinions and about the lack of learning/understanding that causes us to repeat the crazy times. No easy answers … or are there?

lyrics

Upside down, inside out; shaken up and tossed about;
Certainty turns into doubt, in these crazy, crazy times
Civility is compromised, friends and neighbors polarized
Pain and hurt behind injured eyes, in these crazy, crazy times

Haven’t we been here before? Is this a never ending war?
What was all that fighting for in those crazy times?
That page was never turned; there was something we didn’t learn
Why do we choose to return to those crazy, crazy times?

Pushing, shoving, lines are crossed; breeding hate and breaking laws
Rush to judgment serve’s no one’s cause, in these crazy, crazy times
Ya, there are those on every side, who choose to play outside the lines
But I believe most of us have peace in mind, in these crazy, crazy times

Haven’t we been here before? Is this a never ending war?
What was all that fighting for in those crazy times?
That page was never turned; there was something we didn’t learn
Why do we choose to return to those crazy, crazy times?

Some folks run, some folks hide, some can’t wait to choose a side
Some of us won’t be satisfied, til-we-see-the-end of these crazy times
Crazy times, crazy times, crazy times, crazy times
