Chapter 11-“Regardless of how tenuous our bonds, we seem to feel the need to congregate.”

 

PART II: BATH, ENGLAND, UNITED KINGDOM 
Chapter 11 iNovel Link


“Regardless of how tenuous our bonds, we seem to feel the need to congregate."


The Chapter 11 Hot Springs iNovel Link is another musical one, this time the song called Make You Strong, written by Jason as a meditation about distance and what it does to a person. Like everything, he seems to be saying, even with distance we have a choice.

MAKE YOU STRONG
Words & Music by Jason Chiron
 
INTRO:         Am (top) Am D G x4
 

VERSE:       Am   G   F   Am

                   Am   G   F

                   Am   G   F   Am

                   Am   G   Am
 

CHORUS:     G   Am   G   F   Am

                   G   Am   G   F   Am

           
Do you measure distance by an inch or by a mile

Or is the scale a frown against a smile

Do you measure distance by a kilo or a meter
Or is the scale a moment or a while
 

And do you measure distance by the cost it takes to get there

Or is distance just a castle in the air

And do you measure distance by the time that you are gone now

And does it make you weak or make you strong?
 
*CHORUS

Make you strong, make you strong

Does distance make you weak or make you strong?
 
Do you measure distance by the ones you leave behind you

Or by those you seek so far away

Do you measure distance by your lips against a cheek now
Or by words and poems and things that we can say
 

And do you measure distance by the cost it takes to get there

Or is distance just a castle in the air (PAUSE)

And do you measure distance by the time that you are gone now

And does it make you weak or may you strong?
 
*CHORUS

I've listened to all the songs. This is my favorite. Cool guitar in the breaks. Thanks for sharing it. Jeremy

I really loved this song. I have lived away from my family for 25 years and this song really touched me. Thank you
