Calm

Jill Cohn


Could you reel me in
Before i go off the deep end
Could you take me in
I'm trying just to pretend
That everything is fine
Even though they throw refugees to the ocean
I try not to cry, i try not to cry
You could reel me in like a fish you would never turn loose
Would you take me in
Like a child who is orphaned at sea
We'll try to pretend
That everything is fine
As the people grow colder, the planet gets warmer
A circle in time becomes a straight line
And as this circle goes
It encircles me from love divine
I'm not trying to save the world
Can't even save myself from my own meltdown
And i wonder if the world could stop for just a minute
If everyone closed their eyes and pictured calm
Everyone close your lies
Picture calm
