What They're Saying:
"It's time for something more real than all these words/While the least of these are broken and dying, we count the pearls in our purse . . . With all that we've been given and all we hold to be true/We've thrown away the one key that unlocks the door we ourselves crawled through/It's time to live in love, it's time to live in love/So open up your doors, let the Son shine out into the night you're hiding from/Let your hearts bleed with love because when all is said and done/Love's the only voice that's heard"

— from "Open," the title track of Jason Morant's latest album.
