lyrics

I’ve been a long way from home
Over hills and valleys I’ve roamed
I’ve seen the forest for the trees
The crystal water’s come crashing down around me
I’ve seen a mansion on a hill
With all the flowers precisely maintained and still
I’ve seen a city made of mud
With all the people alive and filled with Love

I got a house and a job
Just another blue collar American slob
All the people I work with
They’re just counting down the years till they can quit
And what they hell are they working for
To buy some things they don’t need and can’t even afford
I see them more than my friends
I’d have thought that my time was worth more than this

Why do we sell our lives to the highest bidder
It’s only in our minds that we need so much
I hope someday you find what warms your heart
But it’s time to start and I’m walking out

I held a baby in my arms
And though he wasn’t mine I could feel his charm
Such a gift as this
It seems like something I wouldn’t want to miss
To watch my child grow
But he’s in school and you’re at work
And now he’s someone you don’t know

Why do we sell our lives to the highest bidder
Its only in our minds that we need so much
I hope someday you find what warms your heart
But it’s time to start and I’m walking out

Music has been an incredible gift and a blessing in my life. In kind, I share this gift with the world in the hope that it may be fuel for the fire in your hearts as well. ... more
