about

"Half A World Away" was written in response to the massacre of peaceful worshipers in Christchurch, New Zealand. Since then, there have been more mass shootings and gun violence.

Thoughts and prayers aren't enough. We want to do something tangible.

In May, Morgan Dunstan was shot and killed by a drive by shooter in Pittsburgh. Until December 18, all of our proceeds from the sale of this single on BandCamp will go to a scholarship that's been set up in Morgan's memory. Please help us to make a significant donation in Morgan's memory by paying a bit extra for "Half A World Away"!

lyrics

Half a world away, but still close enough
To hear the echoes of your fear
Half a world away, but still close enough
To feel the ripple of your tears

Half a world away, but still close enough
to grieve with you, for the fallen
Half a world away, but still close enough
To be outraged, at the violence

Half a world away, standing by your side
We may never meet, but our fates are intertwined
Half a world away, half a world away
Our fates are intertwined

We can pray for restoration
We can pray for safety, for peace
We can pray for comfort and healing
But that doesn’t give us release
From the call to love our neighbors
From the charge to love enemies
We are all in this together
We are all one family

Half a world away, standing by your side
We may never meet, but our fates are intertwined
Half a world away, half a world away
Our fates are intertwined
