Joni Mitchell-HANA
Hana steps out of a storm
Into a stranger`s warm,but
Hard-up kitchen.
She sees what must be done
So she takes off her coat
Rolls up her sleeves
And starts pitchin`in.
Hana has a special knack
For getting people back on the right track
Cause she knows
They all matter
So she doesn`t argue or flatter
She doesn`t fight the slights
She takes it on the chin
Like a champ
Hana says when life`s a drag
Don`t cave in
Don`t put up a white flag
Raise up
A white banner
I this manner-
Straighten your back
Dig in your heals
And get a good grip on your grief!
Hana says,"Don`t get me wrong
This is no simple Sunday song
Where God or Jesus comes along
And they save ya."
You`ve got to be braver than that
You tackle the beast alone
With all its tenacious teeth!
Light the lamp.
(Joni Mitchell-"SHINE",2007.)
