Sarah

Tonight I watched Sarah Mclachlan perform at some Austin City Limits concert on KUED. (With the help of Divver). She is nothing short of amazing. Her music speaks to me like nothing else, and seeing her in concert is on my list of things to do in this life. (I guess that would be a bucket list. I'm kind of working on one of those). I've put some of my favorite songs of hers in the playlist. The one that I couldn't put but wanted to was Witness. (Some songs are not available on playlist.) So instead I've decided to post the lyrics:

Make me a witness
take me out
out of darkness
out of doubt

I won't weigh you down
with good intention
won't make fire out of clay
or other inventions

Will we burn in heaven
like we do down here
will the change come
while we're waiting

Everyone is waiting

And when we're done
soul searching
and we carried the weight
and died for a cause
is misery
made beautiful
right before our eyes
will mercy be revealed
or blind us where we stand

Will we burn in heaven
like we do down here
will the change come
while we're waiting

everyone is waiting

Everyone has beliefs about heaven, but all aside, the song is very good.

Kenna,

I'm not sure if it will be on again, but I bet you could look it up on youtube or something.
