There is so much controversy in the world today over issues that seem to big or too politically heated to find a solution.
Many are afraid that they will somehow personally loose out over one or several of these hot buttons: Health care reform, yet another deployment of soldiers, bank bailouts, marriage rights for all peoples, and the list goes on and on.While all of these issues originate in the needs and concerns of humanity, they unfortunately become captive to the almighty dollar bill - and those who are holding the wallet.
I find my heart heavy at the reality of the worlds suffering, sometimes it seems all too much. Sadly, I think the human needs become overshadowed by the press concerning the financial flux of our worlds economy.
Sarah Mclachlan released this song and video about two years ago and I remember how moved I was by it. She admits her feeling of being overwhelmed in the lyric of the song...
All these issues may seem overwhelming to me at times, but Sarah's song reminds me that I can bring my bucket of water to help where I can. One bucket at a time, some fires of destruction can be held back, extinguished and even restored to wellness and health.
Get your bucket - let's work together to put out some of these fiery issues.

" The world's on fire and
It's more than I can handle
I'll tap into the water (I try to pull my ship)
I try to bring more
More than I can handle (Bring it to the table)
Bring what I am able."

Title: Sarah McLachlan - World On Fire lyrics
"World On Fire"
Hearts are worn in these dark ages
You're not alone in this story's pages
Night has fallen amongst the living and the dying
And I try to hold it in, yeah I try to hold it in
[Chorus]
The world's on fire and
It's more than I can handle
I'll tap into the water
(I try to pull my ship)
I try to bring more
More than I can handle
(Bring it to the table)
Bring what I am able
I watch the heavens and I find a calling
Something I can do to change this moment
Stay close to me while the sky is falling
Don't wanna be left alone, don't wanna be alone
[Chorus]
Hearts break, hearts mend
Love still hurts
Visions clash, planes crash
Still there's talk of
Saving souls, still the cold
Is closing in on us
We part the veil on our killer sun
Stray from the straight line on this short run
The more we take, the less we become
A fortune of one that means less for some
