Socially Acceptable - c.2006 Deborah L. Hord

There was a guy in corporate life who did not want to take a wife.
The photos in his cubicle were of his dog and best friend Bill.
The work he did was good, but people talked behind his back.
And, everywhere he went he felt the force of their attacks.

You gotta be socially acceptable. Learn how to conform. Deny your own reality. Stay inside the norm. You gotta be socially acceptable in order to go far, socially acceptable, don’t be the way you are.

There is a woman, good and kind, who speaks against injustice.
She isn’t very hard to find. Just look for where the dust is.
She spoke about the truth she saw, and truth was all around.
They did not like the things she said and ran her out of town.

You gotta be socially acceptable. Learn how to conform. You gotta deny your own reality. Stay inside the norm. You gotta be socially acceptable in order to go far, socially acceptable, don’t be the way you are.

Remember when you were a child you heard a children’s story about the Emperor’s new clothes. They had a grand parade. And, everyone could see the truth, but none of them would say it, because they doubted what they knew, and they were all afraid.

They tried to be socially acceptable. They learned how to conform. They denied their own reality. They stayed inside the norm. They tried to be socially acceptable. They wanted to go far, socially acceptable, they couldn’t be the way they were.

Some people do not play the game or wear a false persona.
They try to live authentically. They are not well received.
The rules say that you must conform, and truth is not for telling.
Don’t let them break your spirit down. They want you to believe,

You gotta be socially acceptable. Learn how to conform. You gotta deny your own reality. Stay inside the norm. You gotta be socially acceptable in order to go far, socially acceptable, you can’t be the way you are.

Socially acceptable. Learn how to conform. Deny your own reality. Stay inside the norm. You gotta be socially acceptable in order to go far, socially acceptable, don’t be the way you are.

Socially acceptable, don’t be the way you are.

Borrowed Time -  c. M Taylor 2004

Wake with the dawn
A brand new day.
One more chance to change the world.
Before the daylight fades away.

Watch as the sun… slides across the sky
As the moon rises to greet the night
The stars know the reason why

Chorus
Each day we’re living on Borrowed Time
Never knowing where or when we’ll see the sign
That will lead you where were destined to be
But for now we live on Borrowed Time

Make every moment count
Live full each day,
Who knows where your life will lead you
As the seconds slip away.

Plant seeds of hope
Watch as they grow
Reach for the blooms of wisdom
Your heart will let you know

Chorus

Michael Grant (”Children – that is, any person age 25 or younger – live in a world so different from the adult world that it could almost be described as a parallel universe… It is possible that kids in their youth world believe in their power, and that their power is greater than ours. They no longer are obligated to check with us, or to participate with us, and don’t expect us, or want us, to speak unless we are spoken to.”)

What is the value of a song? What would you pay for 2000 songs?

Have you heard this story? Have you heard this song? Today, on Hear and Now, the story was told and the song was played. You can hear the radio show here. This story begins at 13:20 minutes into the broadcast.

CHRISTMAS TRUCE: We look back at another war — World War I — and what happened when British troops heard the enemy singing Christmas carols. Folksinger John McCutcheon tells the story.
