This is one of the songs from Love and Disability, a musical I am working on. The lyrics are as follows. I made a youtube video of the song (with me singing) but unfortunately, the song isn't exactly in my range (but I wanted to record it so if anyone did want to re-record the vocals, they would know where to come in etc.) 

the video is here: 

and here are the lyrics: 

 

IT'S NOT GOD, IT'S PEOPLE

by Michele Kaplan


p1: Have you ever questioned
your idea of faith while going through this?
I am a good person, you are a good person
so where is god in this?
every night I pray for a bit of health
but in the morning it's all the same
and I do not feel well
 

and it's another day, another day, another day
and every night, yes I pray, but it seems in vain.
I was always raised, to believe, if I prayed
if I prayed in his name, I would be okay.
 

so have I been abandoned? doesn't god hear me?
have I been betrayed?
and it's these thoughts at night that kill me
more then I can say
so you can tell me truly? have I been a fool
believing in some lie? praying to a god that never existed
that was never mine?
 

and it really breaks my heart
i don't know where I should start
I don't know where I should go
i've never felt so alone
 

p2: I don't think it's god that makes it hard, I think it's people
who creates the healthcare?
who are the doctors, that mistreat you?
who denies us treatment
who denies our claims?
the source is the same
take a look around, I don't think it's god
people are to blame.
 

and it's another day, another day, another day
if we want things to change, we can't wait to be saved
 

p3: maybe it's our destiny, to be on this journey
 

p4: I don't know I just know, this whole thing fuckin' stinks!


p2: When we fight and speak up for ourselves we speak up for our community
so stand up for yourself, take it day by day and through action you will find peace.

Eine Exzellente Sehr schöne Musik, und Musikarbeit,

Herzlichen Gruß Spartano!

PS: Ich bin Gesundheitlich auch Angeschlagen, aber Vielleicht ist es eine Prüfung die wir Durchstehen müssen mit Unseren Glauben an Gott!, Jeden Tag habe ich auch Schmerzen, aber wenn ich Sehe das andere Menschen mit Ihren Gesundheitlichen Leben noch Schlimmer dran sind , dann Denke ich das ich noch Glück gehabt habe, und Danke an Gott das ich noch Vieles Tun kann, Beispiel Musik!

Mein Künstler name ist Spartano 301, meine Freunde nennen mich Joachim, meine Jahrelange Erfahrung in der Musik ist das abmischen ( Mastern ) der Musik.

Mein Musikstill ist sehr breit gefächert, Trance, Dance, Pop, und Rock.

Musik ist für mich ein wichtige Teil meines Lebens, und es macht Spaß immer neue Musiker kennen zu lernen,

lg, von Joachim.

Michele,

 

I am touched by the lyrical content....off lately I had gone through similar experience when I did my track Nomad Faith...it took me a good four to five months to restore my faith back...

 

Your music and your ideas both truly stand out...salutes.
