Here's a song I wrote a long time ago for my friends. I've been extremely fortunate to have a lot of wonderful people in my life, so I wanted to create something that would show them how much I love them. It's a promise to be there for them when they need help, as we all do sooner or later. No matter who you are and what difficulties you are facing, there are people out there who love you and willing to help. We're in this together!
Today's organization is The Center for Women and Families. The Center for Women and Families provides trauma-informed advocacy and support for individuals, families and communities affected by intimate partner violence and sexual assault. They are guided by a strong grassroots feminist history and a commitment to social and economic justice, helping co-create violence free lives, families, and communities. Learn more about all the wonderful things they do right here.
YOU CAN COUNT ON ME
FEELING BLEAK AND ABUSED
WHEN YOU'VE BEEN USED AND CAST AWAY
YOU CAN COUNT ON ME
WHEN YOU'RE FEELING JADED
WHEN EVERY DAY IS THE SAME
WHEN YOU'VE BEEN DEGRADED
WHEN YOU'RE FULL OF SHAME
WHEN YOU'VE BEEN VAIN
AND YOU'RE THE ONE TO BLAME
YOU CAN COUNT ON ME
NO I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE TRUSTING OR CYNICAL
I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE WORSHIPPED OR LOATHED
IF YOU'RE EVER IN NEED
IF YOU'RE EVER HURTING
IF YOU'RE EVER LAID BARE
WHEN THEY PULL BACK THE CURTAIN
YOU'RE NOT ALONE
YOU CAN ALWAYS COME HOME
YOU CAN COUNT ON ME
