Don’t Numb To This

by Abigail Bengson

Abigail and Shaun Bengson, are a married composing and performing duo raising two children in Queens! Their music ranges from musical theater productions to on-the-spot songspells. They believe grief and joy are the same thing. They are interested in anything that gets us all free.

Abigail shared this spontaneous song on her Instagram page (2/14/2023), and it’s been a lifeline for me throughout this past year. As the news continues to bring up more reasons to feel overwhelming grief, this song is a steady reminder that our breadth and depth of feeling is an integral part of our aliveness.

LYRICS:

Don’t numb to this
Don’t numb it out
Let it all flow in and out
You’re strong enough to feel it all
And keep your heart alive

Stay soft to this
Don’t numb it out
Let yourself breathe in and out
You’re strong enough to feel it all
And keep your heart alive

Don’t numb to this
Don’t numb it out
Let yourself breathe in and out
You’re strong enough to feel it all
And keep your heart alive

Don’t numb to this
Don’t block it out
Let it all flow in and out
You’re strong enough to feel it all
And keep your heart alive

(Repeat all verses)

You’re strong enough to feel it all
And keep your heart alive    2x
