When it all comes down to it
And you see the later days
Only one thing really matters anymore
Just how smart can you be
When it starts changing all around you
Can you make your way out
When there are strangers all around you.
Even if you can’t find the door.
Merica Want’s It”s Hat Back
We are what we are
I am what I am
You are who you are
Yet we are the same
Darkness
Seems like all my words come from the darkness
Yet I keep searching for the light
I Feel the warm wind on my face
I can hear the earth in flight
I could reach out and touch the moon
While the sun is chasing me around
In the quite darkness I find home
and I’m still searching for that sound
Let the moon light find me
Let the music play
Beat the drums
Let it shake the ground
Till love comes back to stay.
Then we will fly like birds in the sky
We will run till the morning comes
Then we will play all the songs undone
In the early morning mist
we will find true love in a kiss
Indians
Taken from the forest to the desert land
lying face down in the sand I thought I was dreaming.
White man wants the gold, the oldest story ever told.
An in the end my people would die.
Son don’t ever trust a white man
He’ll burn you home and take your land
He will leave you face down in the desert to die.
On May 28, 1830 the Indian Removal Act
was signed into law by President Andrew Jackson.
Edge
I could just drop at any second,
Cause I’m living right on the limit.
Got to stand up and keep movin on.
This world a lot of angry got to crack a smile
It Ain’t no matter what they do or what they say
My life happens anyway so just as long as I am standing
I’m going to stay up late and rock it all night long.
To The Last Note
When every note is played
every sound has been made
The clock has run down
till there is no ticking sound
I take my guitar from the dusty old case
With a touch of a string spring a smile on my face
Put a stone in my fingers put my ear to the ground
With the universe whisper of the earth going round
With the beat of the waves and the tune of the sea
The rush of the wind splash a smile right on me
Rock with the ocean and roll with the sea
To the whisper of the earth in a timeless song.
Why once more
I’m still here, what a dream
A mind never did awaken,
to see the real world around us
Not bad nor good it’s just a roll of the dice
some people were born to see and some just to dream
who is to say which is the best or which way is right
When you first awaken and you see the others around you,
some can see and you think the others will someday awaken.
that does not happen,
so the ones who truly see from the beginning,
are the chosen few
Child
A troubled child on the news again
Nothing to lose nothing to win
A familiar child with no fear
Where else would I be
You find me here
I picked it apart every word un clear
Seems so long ago alone,
Searching for answers in the tunes
Everywhere sound, but few clues here
I still hear it in my dreams,
It whispers to my ear
So many nights
driving the back way home
Cruising for miles
with nowhere to go
Radio tunes by the dashboard light.
Searching for clues
to fix my broken soul
So easy to get lost
inside your own darkness
And forget all about
the world out side
Forget that once upon a time
I was that child
Searching for a miracle
to save my life
On the point of a pin
every world unsaid
I see now what I didn’t see then
What you lose, what you choose
From the same set of clues
Another ember floating on the wind
Days
So many days now have passed us by
So many nightmares in so many nights.
I walked a lonely road in darkness
Did not even know why.
We would never find the dream
Just couldn’t get it right.
Didn’t know it at the time
But you will always walk alone.
The dream you spend your life searching for
Was within you all the time.
So many bands of angels
Songs by angels never heard
Some great cause to follow
Yet never be put to words
We are all just soldiers
in a war rising on the tide.
The angels wait in shadows
To hear the songs we have inside.
