Time goes by,
The race goes on,
There’s something about a dream,
That makes you carry on.
Every time you close your eyes,
You can see it there before you,
You can try it on for size,
And it feels just like you thought it would.
So you move ahead,
With every single moment.
Never turning your head,
Like the cat hunting the

Caught up in a race to find our happiness in things.
We go to work and spend our precious time.
Measuring success in all the dollars that it brings,
The luxury and comfort so sublime.
When suddenly were faced with a reality,
That years have passed and all we’ve spent is time,
Working hard for someone else’s sanity,
While

If this were another time,
And another place,
I’d always be with you,
We’d have a special place.
Sharing joy and songs,
With good friends to drum along,
We could count the stars above,
While we’re making love
But this world’s a troubled place,
Give me simpler times,
When the good Life,
Wasn’t bought with overtime.
We’d till a little fertile ground,
Build us a

Off to work by eight o’clock am,
I’ve got to fill my place within the corporate strategem.
Eight hours at my desk turns into ten.
I won’t be home for dinner cause I’m working late again.
Chorus:
Leave it all behind,
It will come back to you,
It’s the truth you’ll find,
Just wait and see.
Picture in your mind,
Just what

He could be somebody’s father,
I know he’s somebody’s kin.
I know that somewhere sometime,
Somebody must have loved him.
He said hey mister how about it,
You spare a nickel or dime,
Ain’t gonna use it for liquor,
I haven’t eaten in a long time.
I know there’s somebody in there,
I saw that look on his face,
That little song

Living in a troubled world,
I look out on the boroughs.
Where the drama of real life unfolds,
Just outside my window.
There’s Betty with her world on wheels,
A cart that’s full a heart that’s hollow.
Searching through yesterdays trash for her meals,
Just outside my window.
Chorus:
Just outside my window,
I’m feeling so much pain.
Whichever way the wind blows,
It

I don’t need no shelters,
To keep me from the sun,
To shield me from creation,
Or block the path to run,
Into the arms of god,
He is the shade of a willow tree.
I don’t need no shelters,
The willow weeps for me.
I don’t need no shelters,
To keep me

Careless ways,
Careless ways,
These are dangerous days,
Careless ways.
How many times do we have to be able,
To kill every man woman child.
With nobody left to inherit the earth,
Not the strong the meek or the wild.
It’s hard to believe that we’ve come so near,
Ending all that we are in a day.
The voices we hear say

Everywhere I go
people help me along
livin on music

Stoking my hope

drivin, sleepin and readin
learnin’ bout man
Things use to be different,

remember it now,

Concrete Asphalt,
miles of wire.
Fast food, fast money,

fossil fuel Fumes,
fillin up the air.

another slick city.

and they’re somethin to pity.

I need me some shade.

but to just get paid.
