Thirteen miles to change a life, thirteen miles to change a life.
The harsh realism we choose to see. Why do I care? Does it affect me?
Thirteen miles to change a life.
A frost bitten wind whips down an array,
Of pavements we digest with forlorn dismay.
The feelings we keep, the thoughts we portray.
Thirteen miles to change a life.
The doorways of businesses where minds call home,
The obstructions, confusions, distractions from phone.
The kindred heart that we’ve all known
Thirteen miles to change a life.
To understand where you can offer relief,
Is to actively support, with a weight of belief.
Jane Austen’s image lighter than a leaf.
Thirteen miles to change a life.
Thirteen miles to change a life, thirteen miles to change a life.
The harsh realism we choose to see. Why do I care? Does it affect me?
Thirteen miles to change a life.
