lyrics

it’s been deep, it’s been real
now I have to catch a train and one night’s sleep
upon the rails heading over those hills and dales

it’s like a big thing that we can just be
a lot of people don’t feel that
it’s like a big joke, and it’s always on me
maybe next round will be on them, we’ll see

I like to be where I can be of some assistance
hey when I’m up there’s always someone down
and when I’m up there I can clearly see the distance
when they may be trapped under some heavy clouds
that’s not to say I can avoid causing destruction
I try but there are times you’ll have to seek the bunker out
this bully hurts more than the victims that he faces
in the bombardment there are broken shouts from both sides

war is hell I tell you
and that’s not just a thing we say
one man compelled to kill another
I haven’t done it but I read the play
one child threatened with deprivation
fights in the sandbox
licks his food from a plate
one land under this frightened leader
who wields the country like a broken blade

I’m not on a side, I’m here in the middle
while the see saw goes
I’m standing in a surfers pose
I rock just a little
it’s clearly much more than a game to them

I’m here in the middle but I can see both sides

Leave your right and wrong
throw out the judge's gavel
rest your defense, the truth is in between both sides

His forthcoming LP, “I Was on the Moon” is his most ambitious in scope. It is slated for release early summer 2016. ... more
