Calling Card

from Too Late by GrahamShankarjiHunt

about

A 2014 song which started out as an audio experiment - a piano driven song but with a completely unprocessed vocal

lyrics

What do you do
To help you get through?
Are there Gods right in your field of view?
Or do you suffer from doubt?
Within and without
Or maybe you just want to chicken out
It’s never easy trying to live this life
It can catch you off your guard
You’ve got your own road, yes and I’ve got mine
But let love be your calling card

Was it the time
To turn to crime
S’pecially then when you were in your prime
But what have you done
You and your gun
Now you find you’re always on the run
You look here and there and everywhere
Try looking in your own back yard
It’s your own responsibility
To let love be your calling card

Where have you been?
What have you seen?
Was it always somewhere in between
Who did you meet
And who did you greet
Kings and Queens or just the man in the street
Life doesn’t always have to be such a fight
When every yard you’ve won seems hard
You can always find a better way
Let love be your calling card

I try to be kind
But bearing in mind
S’always hard when I have been maligned
Am I to blame?
Or am I just lame?
Or maybe I don’t want to play the game
If there’s always someone on your back
They beat you up and leave you battle-scarred
I know it’s hard to turn the other cheek
And let love be your calling card
