It’s only the first week in March of 2026 and I need to ask if you’ve looked at our calendar lately?

I had to play the song again today. I needed to listen to it several times and feel Dave’s anger. I’ve been trying to reflect on where the United States is right now. To help me understand the perspective that our country is utilizing as part of its decision making.

the last stop

By: Dave Matthews Band

Silence is poetry

Fire
The sun is well asleep
Moon is high above
Fire grows from the east
How is this
Hate so deep
Lead us all so blindly killing killing
Fools we are
If hate’s the gate to peace
This is the last stop
For raining tears

War
The only way to Peace
I don’t fall for that
Raining tears

You’re righteous, so righteous, so righteous
You’re always so right
Go ahead and dream
Go ahead believe that you are the chosen one
Raining tears
Oh no

Gracious even God
Bloodied on the cross
Your sins are washed enough
Mother’s cry
“Is hate so deep
Must a baby’s bones
This hungry fire feed?”
As smoke clouds roll in
The symphony of death
This is the last stop
Scream

If you made it this far— and haven’t tuned out, here is a message that we can use right now.
