"Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld, So I can sigh eternally." - Nirvana

[madman101]

Here's a song via the bobby1933. I remember hearing it before, (although I forgot how it sounds), but I really liked it. It can be a song to god, or to some damn Indian deity, or to nature, or to your own humility or BDSM master. A sense of gratitude or grace really helps in this world - or just the thought that you are not being flung into the side of a mountain by some superstorm hurricane. Grace, gratitude, humility, appreciation, uncertainty, awe, empathy, service, generosity, self-awareness, will, determination and free-association - and a conviction to justice - these things will lift you out of self-harm and allow you to sing this song for maybe 90 years or longer especially if accompanied by wine and nuts...



LEONARD COHEN LYRICS - If It Be Your Will

If it be your will
That I speak no more
And my voice be still
As it was before
I will speak no more
I shall abide until
I am spoken for
If it be your will
If it be your will
That a voice be true
From this broken hill
I will sing to you
From this broken hill
All your praises they shall ring
If it be your will
To let me sing
From this broken hill
All your praises they shall ring
If it be your will
To let me sing

If it be your will
If there is a choice
Let the rivers fill
Let the hills rejoice
Let your mercy spill
On all these burning hearts in hell
If it be your will
To make us well

And draw us near
And bind us tight
All your children here
In their rags of light
In our rags of light
All dressed to kill
And end this night
If it be your will

If it be your will.
