Hi, I’m Lesa Brackbill. I write about advocacy, resilience, and building a life that creates meaningful, lasting change.

+ About Lesa

I love Caedmon’s Call, and I was recently listening to one of their first albums…and I rediscovered this incredible song. The lyrics have caused me to think quite a bit this week…

Love Alone

By Caedmon’s Call

No one would love me
if they knew all the things I hide
My words fall to the floor
As tears drip through the telephone line

And the hands I’ve seen raised to the sky
Not waving but drowning all this time
I’ll try to build an ark that they need
To float to you upon the crystal sea

Chorus:
Give me your hand to hold
‘Cause I can’t stand to love alone
And love alone is not enough to hold us up
We’ve got to touch your robe
So swing your robe down low
Swing your robe down low

The prince of despair’s been beaten
But the loser still fights
Death’s on a long leash
Stealing my friends to the night

And everyone cries for the innocent
You say to love the guilty too
And I’m surrounded by suffering and sickness
So I’m working tearing back the roof

Repeat Chorus

And the pain of the world is a burden
And it’s my cross to bear
And I stumble under all the weight
I know you’re Simon standing there
And I know you’re standing there

Rediscovered Song…

And the hands I’ve seen raised to the sky Not waving but drowning all this time I’ll try to build an ark that they need To float to you upon the crystal sea

Chorus: Give me your hand to hold ‘Cause I can’t stand to love alone And love alone is not enough to hold us up We’ve got to touch your robe So swing your robe down low Swing your robe down low

The prince of despair’s been beaten But the loser still fights Death’s on a long leash Stealing my friends to the night

And everyone cries for the innocent You say to love the guilty too And I’m surrounded by suffering and sickness So I’m working tearing back the roof

Repeat Chorus

And the pain of the world is a burden And it’s my cross to bear And I stumble under all the weight I know you’re Simon standing there And I know you’re standing there

Thank you for your response. ✨
