Do you know how they live
have you seen what they give
Look them in the eyes

Can you be so blind that you don’t see
You’re just expressing your own insecurity

~ Gettin’ caught up in the current goin’ out with the tide
but time . . is on my side

Our fathers’ fathers planted seeds
To grow the things that we would need
We forgot to keep our garden green

The colors that electrified me as I burst into the sun
Gave me a revelation that a new life had just begun

Wish I could remember where I placed the only key
That opens up this door that I have locked inside of me

So much I haven’t done
I guess I took too long
Thought life had just begun
I guess that I was wrong
. . . I guess that I was wrong

A song that I once sang
I thought would give me everything
And fill my pot with gold
To keep me warm ‘til I was old

When we reach the place where time and space don’t leave a trace of evidence
On the faces of the people we love We’ll rise above this existence

I can dream I’m with you
On the grass in the field
Watching leaves floating down the stream
