lyrics

I thought my hands were tied
But I took them from behind my back
And made a thing of love you see
I made it for my enemy
Who hates because he’s full of fear
And hurts whoever so comes near
Well I took a blow and turned my cheek
For faith is that which need not speak

Can we see
That love is only one
Can we heal
The damage we have done
In this life

I know you want to find the light
I know you want to do something right

Sometimes my faith wears thin
When I see the state we’re in
When making peace is done with guns
The terror is for everyone
There is another way
There’s got to be another way
If in our hearts we all want peace
Why can it not be in our reach?

Can we see
That love is only one
Can we heal
The damage we have done
In this life

about

Lauren Hoffman Los Angeles, California

music is exceptionally useful for communicating the nuance and complexity of the human experience because it is an emotional language, we process and respond to it in a different way than thoughts, beyond the limits of linguistics. that's why it's special and mysterious and i love it. that's why i write and sing and play instruments and make records. that's why i share my songs with you. ... more

There Will Be No Intermission
by Amanda Palmer

supported by 5 fans who also own “In This Life”

So, here's my thing about this amazing thing. I've listened to every single thing of Amanda's that I could since 2008. So when I say I failed with this album, you'll understand how big that is. When this came out, I thought I'd get around to it later because I knew a bunch of the tracks on it already. I never got around to it. Now, I've heard it, and I'm broken. In the best way. I lost a dear friend this year, and I'm never going to get over it, but this album helps so much. Thank you, Amanda. Delenn
