Under The Rainbow

    Our 'Song To Chew' today is UNDER THE RAINBOW.  Some might call it a 'woke' song, because it's full of hope.  There are some very mystifying things in this world.  I haven't got a clue about how they happen, so I don't rule out prayer, magic, supernatural religions, being "woke" or anything else that might help us all survive together!  I know that 'when someone holds a belief, we can't get them to change that belief by offering facts.'  Science and logic don't have much influence in the 'Land of Beliefs'.  Unfortunately, in the 'Land of Science and Logic', there's not much support for the idea that a belief or story can have a huge influence on a person's ability to accomplish things in their life.  There's a mystical, innocent, non-scientific power in a child's beliefs and stories, and whether they're true or not, by holding them so close to their hearts, they can accomplish amazing feats that seem impossible to the rest of us.  If we're to have a future that's safe and sustainable, we need to it start now!  As I age, I feel a 'nibbling remorse' that I need to do more to leave our children a safer world.  My own dear children, singing the words to my song, ring more true to me now than they did when I wrote them.            "You cannot give the world to us.  It is not yours to give.              It is a home for every child, who needs to grow and live              And for a while, we may borrow the air and trees and sun,              But we must never, never break the trust, of the children yet to come." ~ Listen and subscribe to my Songs To Chew podcast = anywhere you get podcasts, orhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/peter-alsop-s-songs-to-chew/id1446179156~ CAMPING WITH DADS = https://www.amazon.com/Camping-Dads-Peter-Alsop/dp/B08CS871QW/ref=sr_1_1~ www.FaceBook.com/WeLikePeterAlsop~ www.Youtube.com/peteralsop  = videos~ www.Patreon.com/peteralsop  = support my music & other artistic endeavors~ www.peteralsop.com/music  = CDs & downloads  Get full access to Peter Alsop’s Substack at peteralsop.substack.com/subscribe
