I am Abigail and this is shaun
And we’re so glad that you’ve turned this on and
Welcomed us into your home
And you are welcome into our home
We’re in Dayton ohio!
We’re at my parents house!
We’re at Shauns parents house
We were in Louisville when the shit hit
And we packed our three year old into a car
And drove kind far
We drove here
And we’ve been so lucky and blessed to be safely here
And we thought wed be here for like
Ten days. Tops.
What did we know?
What did we know?
We thought we knew a lot
We thought we knew a lot
Keep going

Keep going on song
And we’ve been mostly healthy
Are you ok?
Are you alright?
Are you ok?
Are you alright?
I hope your body is whole tonight
And if your heart is breaking I hope its breaking open
And if your breath is shaking I hope its breaking through
And I hope that you’ve watched a lot of really great television
Like a lot of it
And I hope that you find a hand lotion that actually makes your skin feel better
And I hope you have enough to eat
I Hope you’re getting enough sleep
And I hope you have enough good company
Or enough good memory to last for a long time

Lets bring some joy into the room!
Why not?
We could try it!
We could try it!
Or some rage. Or some grief, and relief
I pray my
I pray my rage is a fire that cleans my mind out and
Makes me ready to listen
I pray my pain is a river that flow to the ocean that connects my pain to yours
And I pray my happiness is like pollen
That flies to you
And pollinates your joy
Oh boy
Is that possible?
I don’t know!
I don’t know!
We are making this up as we go!
WE have to make it upas we go
The keep going song
The keep going song oh

And I pray that when we meet again
That the world has changed
Into the world that we are imaging now together
And I pray that the world has become the world that we are planting inside of ourselves for each other And for our ancestors and for our kids
And we’re gonna start
We’re gonna start
This is rough beginning
Thats ill I’ve got is a rough beginning to offer you
W’ere just gonna start by singing some songs
We’re just gonna sing some sings for you
In this tiny space together
And we hope that when you hear them
You will feel a little bit less alone
And we will feel little bit less alone
In the work
And in the hurt
And we will be together tonight
Somehow wherever this is whenever this is
We will be together tonight
For the
