The American Minervan

Future Friend – Larkin Grimm

I find this such a beautiful song and have listened to it every day for some time and it speaks to me deeply. Hope it speaks to someone else.

LYRICS

(we’re going to build a fire)

we’re going to build a fire
(it’s killing me)
(need kindness, i need kindness)
will you just sit with me?
we’re going to build a fire
(just sit and trust me)
and we’re gonna build it now

i need kindness
i need kindness
oh, the world is killing me
i need kindness

if you’re frightened
i’ll be scared
scared and violent

and if you’re frightened
i’ll be scared (scared, scared, scared and violent)
violent and scared

if you’re frightened i’ll be more afraid
and, oh, the violence
oh, trust me
we’re going to build a fire
and we’re gonna build it together now
we’re gonna build a fire
that’s what i’ll do for you
(i’m gonna give you . . .)
a fire . . .

the world is killing us
oh, the world is killing us
i need openness if you want me to be open and kind
(oh, i want to save you)
i need kindness
i’ll return it in a minute

i need kindness
the world is killing me
i’m terribly frightened
so help me build a fire
i want to jump into it with you

get ready
we’re going to build a fire
we’re going to build a fire
we’re going, we’re going, we’re going
we’re going to build a fire
fire, fire, fire

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Dominique Johnson is a writer and author of The American Minervan created years ago and changed from its first iteration as Circle of Asia (11 years ago), because of its initial Eurasian focus. The change indicated increasing concern for the future of their own home country. He has spent many years academically researching the deeper philosophical classical sources of Theosophy, Eclecticism and American Republicanism to push beyond current civilizational limitations. He has spent his life since a youth dedicated to understanding what he sees as the “inner meanings” and instruction in classical literature, martial philosophies, world mythology and folklore for understanding both the nature of life and dealing with the challenges of life.
