Inspired by a songwriting workshop with Brian Ross.
lyrics
Chorus:
I filled my teacup up with sand
At the beach that day
I spilled the dry drink from my hand
Thinking what you’d say
I visualize the soft red light
Of the dawning sun
Glancing off your gravestone
Now that your time is done
All it took was one small knife
Straight from the villain’s throw
All it took was one small life
To make me see, to know
Chorus
Anyone can make a change
Impossible? It’s not.
Sleep in peace, my little friend
And while you rest and rot
Chorus
I’ll be running toward the light -
My final destiny
The tears I cried the night you died
Will help to remind me
Chorus
You had big and shiny eyes
Peering from the hedge
Pinecones littered everywhere
Along the prickly edge
Chorus

This is a wildly uneven, unpredictable collection. And that is as it should be. From spoken word to rap to singer/songwriter acoustic to hard rock, this has at least one song for everyone. John Gaunt
