about

Wearing Love is my response to 2020. In the black hole of identity politics, social media wars, and our country's polarizing responses to racial injustice, this song is a response and a challenge to come up higher and do better. To wear love better than we wear our pride...or our political affiliations. 

lyrics

WEARING LOVE

“Oooo,” you say, “I can’t take anymore
In my head it plays like a broken record
How many?
How can I?
Why’s it me all the time?”

Keep your words
They won’t fix anything
All that works is the love that you bring
“Oooo”, you say “I can’t take anymore
In my head it plays like a broken record”

And you say...
“How many?
How can I?
Why’s it me all the time?”

Slow your breathing
No more scheming
Quit competing
Just love

And everyone will wonder
You did not go under
You were undercover
Wearing love

Love, Love Looooove!

And you won't have to say:
Do I have to forgive ‘em?

"How many?
How can I?
Why’s it me all the time...forgiving?”

Keep your words
They won’t fix anything
All that works is the love that you bring
