We all

When I listen to songs, the words are what strike me.

Last night was the first time I remember hearing the song "Bleed Red" by Ronnie Dunn. I pondered it last night as I fell asleep. I listened to it over and over again today while I graded papers. I can't get it out of my head.

 Sometimes our world seems so broken. It is a difficult place to be. Some days it is so hard to feel at peace. I see the gap between reality and the ideal; it's hard to not know or see how to bridge that divide. I feel like this song captures some of these feelings so well. 




Let’s say were sorry before it’s too late
Give forgiveness a chance
Turn the anger into water
Let it slip through our hands
We all bleed red, we all taste rain
All fall down, lose our way
We all say words we regret
We all cry tears, we all bleed red
If we’re fighting we’re both losing
We’re just wasting our time
Because my scars, they are your scars
And your world is mine
You and I
We all bleed red, we all taste rain
All fall down, lose our way
We all say words we regret
We all cry tears, all bleed red
Sometimes we’re strong, sometimes we’re weak
Sometimes we’re hurt,and it cuts deep
We live this life breath to breath
We’re all the same we all bleed red
