A Song to Commemorate April 4
World Stray Animals Day.

The Day for Compassion, care...
And Action for Stray Animals Worldwide

'STRAY'

When I was just a little girl
I cared for anything left lonely
Birds n' rabbits, cats n' dogs
Anything without a home, see
I could never walk on by
I knew I'd only sit and cry
If I could help I knew I would
Turn something bad into good

Cos if they're stray there's gotta be a way
Helpless here n' helpless there
We gotta find a place for you to stay
Cos if they're stray, they'll need help some day
N' loving arms gotta come their way
If they're stray, they'll need help some day.

Something told me right from wrong
That gentle souls must find a home
Any creature on its own, should never be left out alone
See someone's got to bring them back
Someone's got to think of that
Anyone can play their part
And save a precious beating heart

Cos if they're stray there's gotta be a way
Helpless here n' helpless there
We gotta find a place for you to stay
Cos if they're stray, they'll need help some day
N' loving arms gotta come their way
If they're stray, they'll need help some day.

I don't wanna be the one to tell you you got nowhere to go
People tell me all the time this world is on a slippery slope
Things are getting worse but there's nothing worse than life without hope
Take the world by storm and make a life for some sweet lost precious soul

Cos if they're stray there's gotta be a way
Helpless here n' helpless there
We gotta find a place for you to stay
Cos if they're stray, they'll need help some day
N' loving arms gotta come their way
If they're stray, they'll need help some day.

The Gatekeeper
Maria, one of my favs here at iacmusic. She is always one to give it up for us to listen to a great song of hers, and with Stray, that one gets your attention right away, in this case, the answer is obvious what Maria is trying to convey in song. Maria works hard as an animal rights activist so it is no surprise many of her recent works are leaning towards that end. Nice happening groove there that is backed with some stellar guitar work.

Soul Invitation
soulful musicality, tasteful guitar...
