I wrote this song after a couple of documentary films I saw a while ago. I have never done a song that would be so strongly influenced by social issues as this one. I strongly recommend you to check out those links that will tell you the story behind this song.

Child witches in Nigeria:

The story of ' child witches' was the main reason for me to write this song. It's terrible to see people so poor and lost that they believe in everything that might change their life, and even more terrible to see kids who actually start to believe that they are evil, because their parents tell them this and THEY wouldn't lie to them, wouldn't they...

Lyrics:
Though I never asked for life, it is I who gasp for breath
How could I as for love being useless as I am

So I land I lost my wings of faith
Falling over, while they push me harder, I try to stand

And I wonder if I died, would it be over
Would the curse be gone
They blame my different eyes for the pain that lasts
Longer than my life

And I feel I've got somebody with me
But does it feel like hell just because there's evil in me
And I hold it within me
And I see the eyes that won't see me
And I got the best they could give me
And I die

So I land I lost my wings of faith
Falling over, while they push me harder, they try to stand

that was nice:)

how's going my friend?

[Joanna4real]

@JesseGuitar07 Thanks. I'm writing more and more new songs and hoping some of them will be worth sharing ;)

[starwd3]

Performed with feeling - well done Joanna. I've witnessed much in third world countries; hope, dispair, kindness and disdain. They choose what is chosen for them and reluctantly embrace the present. Peace, Greg

[Joanna4real]

@starwd3 Thanks for listening. It must have been a life changing experience...

One day I'd like to be able to go there and see it with my own eyes to understand it a bit more but most of all to try to do something.

An amazing song performed by an amazing talent with very emotive inspiration. Great to see you back sharing your wonderful music again sounding better than ever. ;)) Hope to see and hear more from you soon. ;)

@Joanna4real It's heartbreaking to see some of the attrocities being carried out in the world but we have many here in our own country that just don't get the visibility. I love deep conversations but my fingers would get tired of typing so I'll leave it there. Enjoy your music a lot. Cheers, Greg

@TheMoonman157 I'm working on a lot of songs at the moment and yes, I'm hoping to record them as soon as they're ready:) I'm really looking forward to share some new music with people. I'm glad you liked the first album!

[TheMoonman157]

@Joanna4real Cool. Do you have another album lined up? I downloaded 'So far, so good' recently, it's real good!
