A Hole In The World


By Harry Cummins

     Some of you may remember the 2003 release of "Hole In The World", the Eagles song written by Don Henley and the late Glenn Frey, in response to the September 11, 2001 attacks.

     Much has happened since then, in and to our world , supplying this song with added meaning as we embark on the year 2020.

     My wish is that each of us use the coming year to try to lessen the impact of these empty spaces in our world. In our communities.  May we each work to lessen the greater hole that exists in the human heart.

   There's a hole in the world tonight
   There's a cloud of fear and sorrow
   There's a hole in the world tonight
   Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow

          They say that anger is just love disappointed
          They say that love is just a state of mind
          But all this fighting over who is anointed
          Oh, how can people be so blind?

     There's a hole in the world tonight
     There's a cloud of fear and sorrow
     There's a hole in the world tonight
     Don't let there be a hole in the world ...tomorrow.

                             Glen Frey/Don Henley
