Welcome to the June 3 installment of June Tunes with Peggy Graff and Friends. Today's mid-afternoon music break from FUMCFW will feature "Some Days," sung by Choral Union and Adoramus Soprano Section Leader Mary Grim, with music by Steve Marzullo and lyrics by Audra McDonald, based on the poem "Somedays" by James Baldwin.
Some Days
Some days worry
Some days glad
Some days
More than make you mad.
Some days,
Some days, more than shine:
When you see what's coming
On down the line!
Some days you say,
Oh, not me, never -!
Some days you say
Bless God forever.
Some days, you say,
Curse God, and die
And the day comes when you wrestle
With that lie.
Some days tussle
Then some days groan
And some days
Don't even leave a bone.
Some days you hassle
All alone.
I don't know, sister,
What I'm saying,
Nor do no man,
If he don't be praying.
I know that love is the only answer
And the tight-rope lover
The only dancer.
When the lover come off the rope today,
The net which holds him is how we pray,
And not to God's unknown,
But to each other -:
The falling mortal is our brother!…
