Barn's Burnt Down

Barns burnt down - House on fire
The flames are reaching like a funeral pyre
I run inside - The blaze increased
My soul is screaming - But i feel relief
Let it burn down, let it, let it burn down
Let it burn down to the ground
Let it burn down, let it, let it burn down
Let it burn down so we can rise
Yeah! It's never too late - Let it Burn Down
When I was young - I was always afraid
Did I say the right thing - Did I mess up the game
But the game is rigged - The enslaved break free
Now the phoenix rising - We can finally see
Let it burn down, let it, let it burn down...
All the hate, the lies, the shame- Let it burn so we can rise
All the scars resurrect the pain, so we can fly
The barn's burnt down - I can see the moon
I can feel the wind - See the flowers bloom
The barn's burnt down - I can see the moon
When the walls burn down - Back to mother's womb
I can see the moon - I can see the moon

When the sun is setting in the western sky
the wind is begging me to fly
There's a touch of gold on my darkened wing
a touch of lonely dusk brings in
I leave the troubles of my day behind
release the anchors of time
Though a touch of sun is harkening
I fly the lines in between
Cause you can't take the darkness out of me, oh Lord
You can't take the darkness out of me
Though a touch of sun is harkening
I'm a shadow dragon flying free
When the call of dark and light collides
whispers infiltrate my mind
the time of hunting fills my needs
The time to question my beliefs
Cause You can't take the darkness out of me, oh Lord
You can't take the darkness out of me
Though a touch of sun is calling me
I'm a shadow dragon flying free

Lost Gander

If I had wings, I would fly away
I'd shed my skin, I would leave today
If I could take away the hurt I've caused
I'd live I'd not be lost
I'd reach my soul high to the sky- To the sky
Take off
Touch and go, touch and go
When the sun hangs low
Touch and go, Touch and go
On a wild goose chase
With an old banjo
Touch and go, touch and go
Where the gander goes the goose follows
I'd leave behind all my worry and unease
I'd follow dreams, I'd be flying free.
If I had wings, I'd soar, I'd sing, meander
like a gander, lost I'd wander back and forth,
through the sky, through the sky

What Color is Freedom
02:18

Where is it safe to be
to feel, to heal, to breathe
You had them on their knees
But you mocked them as you damn pleased
Strange fruit hanging in the trees
Stripped bare for all to see
Strange land of the free
Killing, killing what could be
What color is freedom, freedom
What color is freedom, freedom
What color is Jesus
Where can you feel at ease
To grow, to realize a dream
But when you're pinned by knees
Gasping mamma, pleading
What color is freedom
What color is freedom
What color is Jesus

Squirrel Hunters
03:25

Grab your club, unlock your blunderbuss
Gotta keep the rebel crew from attacking us
They're on their way to try and take away
Our state, our ways, our freedom
The train is free to save democracy
We'll meet at the barracks to plan what we need
Our members are tough - our trenches are all dug
Squirrel Hunters to save our Union
In 1862 under General Lou
civilian Squirrel Hunters in two days proved
When you fight for what is right
organize unite - we've got to save our union
Here we go again, the fight that never ends
It's up to us to force amends
Fight for what is right - organize, unite
We gotta save our Union...
With lies unleashed, our Capitol was breached
by an angry mob believing hate speech
Staffers on their feet kept the ballots far from reach
racing to save our union
Insurrection blasting through the halls
Defacing liberty- defacing walls
The National Guard finally quelled the brawl
Squirrel Hunters there by spirit
In 2021 the fight was fought again with a few good men
Eugene one of them
When you fight for what is right
organize, unite - we gotta save our Union...
Here we go again in less than 2 - Cause Georgia's back in the news
Pushing voters from access - pushing to suppress
Stripping power, stripping law - gerrymandering, building walls
Who controls the polls is the winner of it all
gotta call for new Squirrel Hunters
Here we go again, the fight that never ends
It's up to us to force amends
Fight for what is right - organize, unite
We gotta save our Union...

I try and stop from cryin' but the tears come anyway
You're off in the morning driving so far away
sunlight on the landscape drying up the morning dew
In my mind I see you, Down the winder slide you flew
TIME KEEPS SLIDING
IS THERE NOTHIN WE CAN GRASP
TIME KEEPS SLIDING
AND IT ALWAYS GOES TOO FAST
(DOWN THE WINDER SLIDE)
When I think of all life's moments That I hold in my soul
Joyful times and heartache Up and down life's slide we go
I have tried to hold time 'til sorrow came my way
I have tried hold life & not let it slip away
TIME KEEPS SLIDING
1S THERE NOTHIN WE CAN GRASP
TIME KEEPS SLIDING
AND IT ALWAYS GOES TOO FAST
(DOWN THE WINDER SLIDE)

I Still Dream
04:38
|

I'm afraid of today - that everything
we have just slips away
And all the crazy, the lies the shady, it seems to stay
The horrified is glorified and on replay
Everything beautiful fades
Why must everything I love go away
I'm afraid of today- the little minds
who run the world will never change
The privileged keep pillaging- they take away
Their greed releasing increasing chasms of endless pain
Everything beautiful fades
Everything beautiful remains
Hold my hand .. Understand
Play the game.…. Love the pain
Toss your drugs.. Grow the ** up
Tell the truth... The future is us
Everything beautiful remains
I still dream..

Trouble

Trouble trouble - there's trouble round this world
Trouble trouble- there's trouble in this world
There's trouble trouble- there's trouble everywhere
But Lord, Lord this trouble won't last always
I am so glad that trouble won't last always
Yes, I am so glad that trouble won't last always
Yes, I am so glad that trouble won't last always
But Lord, Lord this trouble won't last always
There's trouble in this world, on the land and the sea
Trouble in this world on the land and the sea
There's trouble all around.
There's trouble here and there
But Lord, Lord this trouble can't last always
Oh Daniel, he prayed, both morning noon and night
Oh Daniel, he prayed, both morning noon and night
Yes, Daniel, he prayed, both morning noon and night
Yes Lord, Lord this trouble can't last always
Aren't you so glad that trouble won't last always
Aren't you so glad that trouble won't last always
I am so glad that trouble won't last always
Lord, Lord trouble won't last always
