Can You Hear Us is about extending a hand, long before hearing (or needing to) a story. 911, Hurricanes, Tsunamis, Earthquakes! "There but for the grace of God go I."

Story behind the song
August 27, 2001. "The Road", our bands first worldwide release debuted. Little did we know, two weeks later, the world would change forever and our lives would never be the same again. The events and aftermath of 911 would bring even the mightiest to their knees! I'm sure that I'm not the only one whose spent the lion's share of this past decade on their knees searching and struggling for reasons why and answers to not only 911, but to the subsequent tragedies of Hurricane Katrina, The Tsunami and the Earthquakes in Haiti, Chile, Mexico and now China! As if I wasn't already searching! Were these the acts of an unforgiving, impatient God? What can one man do? Do something! "Let us not judge or justify, when there but for the grace of God go I," is what Can You Hear Us is about! And NEVER FORGETTING THAT! I've always been a firm believer in if not me who, if not now, when? We've found that by just changing our focus (off ourselves,) and tuning into how we can better the situations we find, or place, ourselves in is how change occurs. A most rewarding and highly contagious avenue to pursue, I must say! (Have I mentioned how much I LOVE ANIMALS? Truth be told I've always considered myself, if anything, an animal lover who sings, not a singer that loves animals! I recently heard a great quote by Kahil Gibran, "Out of great suffering emerge the strongest of souls. The most massive characters are seared with scars." I don't know how massive my character is, but Man, do I feel seared with scars!! I can only imagine what it must have been like to personally live through such catastrophic events! Having crowned myself "the queen of grief" after living through the experiences that found their way into the songs off The Road CD, I had no idea what was coming for me with this past decade of despair, much less what would be required of me to write and record all the new songs I'm so stoked about...or did I? I can honestly say now, having soldiered through all of it, The Lights Are Back On... Private Pamme returning to duty!!! (Oh yeah, we have NOT FORGOTTEN OUR TROOPS.)
Lyrics
CAN YOU HEAR US Pamme, Brody, Vanselow Point of Magic and Pamme's Ark ASCAP/Funk Junk Music BMI Look around see the children playing Something's wrong but they're not saying Just another cold and lonely night In the struggle to survive Look around see them dying to believe That there's more to life than what their eyes are seeing They're holding on in spirit Whoa? can't someone hear them God in Heaven can you hear us God in Heaven are you near us Let them know, know that they're not forgotten God in Heaven can you hear us Let us not judge or justify When there but for the grace of God go I Some are just so weary they could cry Some have crossed their hearts and hoped to die How can they be so brave Who will wash their tears away Children can be so forgiving Get them out of this life they're living Chorus They've crossed their hearts and hoped to die Don't let them give up the fight Chorus It should never be, never be this way It should never be this way It should never be, never be this way God in Heaven can you hear us Can you hear us Cause they need to know right now Let them know, let them know... Can you hear us Can you hear us

wow I love this ~ what a cool intro, followed by the unmistakable vocals of Pamme who as always puts so much feeling into the lyrics and with so much sincerity. The backing guitars are awesome, not forgetting the great drumming. I played this song a couple of times and my overall opinion? A Fantastic Production!
