SOFTLY TO MYSELF
Music and Lyrics by Peter Smith

Verse 1
Open-ended maybes
Never said goodbyes
Someone show the way, please,
Through this time, this time.
Every passing day
How resonant the change
Who can find their way
Now that fear reigns?

Chorus
Tell me we can hold each other high, and rise when we fall
And cross the river when it’s wide
For I can’t see what we have
When we don’t have each other
So I’ll sing softly to myself
And you’ll sing softly to yourself
And we’ll sing softly to ourselves
And hold on.

Verse 2
Now that eyes are open
To what was always there,
Everything we’ve known, then,
Is laid bare, laid bare.
When at last the light shines
Piercing through the gray
Will we draw the old lines
A new way?

Chorus
Tell me we can hold each other high, and rise when we fall
And cross the river when it’s wide
For I can’t see what we have
When we don’t have each other
So I’ll sing softly to myself
And you’ll sing softly to yourself
And we’ll sing softly to ourselves
And hold on.
