A song about selfishness and communion

lyrics

I don't want to share and i don't wanna talk
i just want to drink this beer and think lots
people are glaring they are frowning on the sidewalks
why should i go out there and why not

the person who made me dinner called when it was done
i put my pen down and i came right along
i cheers and i tasted before i put the salt on
the food and conversation was worth coming to the table

i have never brought my neighbors a pie from my sill
if i am wary of strangers i keep to myself
'cause my sadness and anger are scared of everybody else
people holding up mirrors and showing me myself

please, won't you come in
even if tears are falling
i will dry them
i hope you don't mind them

one room in one house in one city in one province
in one country on one continent on one earth
one cell in one tissue of one organ of one system
in one body of one person in one world

one mood in one mind in one moment and i
could let go of it or hold it in despair
one dies where one goes, wonder where, no one knows
love me here, love me now, not once i'm better

i will go outside to see you i will come to the door to greet you
and i'm sorry if i didn't raise my eyes to meet you
i will lift up my head i will welcome you in
i am trying please, i beseech you
