Freaky Eyes

Be Not Always (An Angel Sings)

This is from the Jackson’s Victory album back in the 80s. Michael is of course, singing. This is probably one of the first humanitarian-related songs he sang. Others - all touching and prescient, even moreso today, followed. The World has no idea what it’s lost. The Heart of the World is gone, no longer beating, and his messages continue to be lost while talking heads and tabloids continue to debate about his physical appearance, habits, and origin of his children. It’s a petty world, given to distraction at its own dire expense. It’s never changed. We continue to destroy ourselves based upon our own inability to evolve or to even know at any moment, what REALLY matters. An Angel was sent to teach us - but who was listening?

LYRICS:

Always be not always and if always, bow our heads in shame.
Always, please be not always.
And if always, bow our heads in blame.
‘Cause time has made promises, just promises.

Faces, did you see their faces?
Did they touch you?
Have you felt such pain?
To have nothing, to dream something, then lose hoping.
Is not life but lame?
But time has made promises, just promises.

Mothers cry, babies die helplessly in arms while rockets fly and research lies in progress to become.
But what of men are flesh and blood?
We turn our backs on life.
How can we claim to stand for peace when the race is armed in strife, destroying life?

Always, be not always.
But if always, bow our heads in shame.
Always, please, be not always.
‘Cause if always, bow our heads in blame.
‘Cause time has made promises, just promises.
Death promises.
