Beth Nielsen Chapman commented on MJB Buckley's lyric:
"Yaaas...I know you can squeeze those words in there...but it's like a puckered seam to me to do that. Sorry....I'm a real stickler for fitting the melody. Every 100 years or so there comes an exception to the rule...but it's super rare!
"
"I plead with fate / 'Til it sounds like nonsense / Try to erase / The wounded memories / Make this world a better place (I know it sounds like a mouthful but when you quickly sing "Make this" with the end of "wounded memories" then "world a better place" is just 4 syllables) / Even when (or though) we're on different sides / I know I'll never change your mind!"
