One Soul World

Story Behind The Song

Pondering that humanity seems to have lost their sense of internal "soul" and many consider an external digital representation (social media) as more important... and that if we all might consider humanity as occupying one big soul built from all our individual hearts we might all feel for each other, recognize each other for who we are, understand all our different perspectives, and it would be impossible for anyone to be left out or lost.....

Song Description

A call to act and realize a dream for a better world, where everyone can be who they are, as different a they might be, yet connect via one soul made up of each individual heart --- where the lost are found holding their dreams, where we all see the same sunrise on one clear horizon. Where hate and pain and anger cannot take root because we would all feel it as against ourselves...

Lyrics

One Soul World

Verse1
It's right that I might dream.
Of a world with one soul,
Everyone part of the role
No one laughs or cries alone .
Any place you stand feels just like home.

Chorus
Wake up a one soul world.
See the same sunrise on one clear horizon.
Shake up a one soul world.
Break blinders down so the lost are found holding dreams

Verse 2
It's right that I might move,
Move this dream thru my heart,
Then straight to my feet and hands
And call on all to dream and build the
Sole of the world one heart at a time

Chorus
Wake up a one soul world.
See the same sunrise on one clear horizon.
Shake up a one soul world.
Break blinders down so the lost are found holding dreams.

Bridge
Dream it, mean it,
move shape carry and feel it

Rep Chorus
Wake up a one soul world.
See the same sunrise on one clear horizon.
Shake up a one soul world.
Break blinders down so the lost are found...
Wake up a one soul world.
See the same sunrise on one clear horizon.
Shake up a one soul world.
Love abounds if you look around,
We stand at home on any ground,
Break blinders down so the lost are found holding dreams.

Barry Thompson has something to say and he's not afraid to say it. His Americana/folk music and lyric are both entertaining and thought provoking.

Every folksinger's got to have his/her peace song, and here is another hoping for a better world. Where would we be without that hope? I like the idea presented that no one laughs or cries alone and that we have to work together to build that better world. Nice job on the instrumentation. Vocal is heartfelt and comes across unaffected and honest.

Very cool folk song with good sing a long lyrics with a hopeful message. I like the minimal use of instrumentation on folk songs adds a feel of authenticity.

Solid Folkish Rock. Good Instrumentation and a well balanced production.

like the bouncy feel good vocs
