Slipping, Falling, 10,000 Children

So, I slipped on the stairs today. My leg hurts quite a bit, but I suppose it's manageable. I have a nice black/blue/purple color on various parts of my body though. Teach me to wear socks in the house! It's a highly dangerous area. Could have been worse I guess, eh?

Anyway, good news and... just... news. News: Matt Wertz is engaged? Congratulations you. (I'm slightly bummed by this, for purely illogical reasons, though no less real). The good news? Dave Barnes' new CD came out today. So here I pay tribute to my first favorite song off it:

10,000 children and all I can do is just talk
While my house is full of possessions that make ... (I couldn't pick up the rest of this line)

Everyone tells me that I'm not to blame
Why do I still feel the same?

Only love can save us all
Only love can save us all
Save us all

10,000 children are my invitation to change
To continue in excess now suddenly feels oh so strange

Prayers and money should not be confused
But I pray that both still are used

Only love can save us all
Only love can save us all

What will become of me?
Inside that history

10,000 children and all I can do is just talk
