Holding on to you, it's like trying to put a leash on a rainbow
And it's where the clouds and sun come together
Just a small town girl, wishing on the banks lettin' all the time go
A thrown stone in the water still goes to the bottom
CHORUS :
Roll on by, roll on by, gonna sit and watch the river flow by
Roll on by, roll on by, gonna sit and watch the river flow
Understanding you, is like being inside a tornado
And which way that you go depends on the weather
Just a country girl, rockin' at the banks lettin' every care go
Take off all your clothes and fears if we got 'em
CHORUS :
Letting go of you, it's like opening a bottle of the moonglow
It's a light in the dark and over time things get better
Mississippi girl, you're cryin' on the banks, summer's over and you gotta go
All leaves fall and float down river in the autumn
All leaves fall and float down river in the autumn
CHORUS : (x2)

There's a darkness in your heart where the light can't go
Who you are ain't who you wanna be
Your insecurity, forms your reality
When there's a darkness in your heart where the light can't go
When there's a darkness in your heart where the light can't go
There's a darkness in your heart where the light can't go
Nothing's clear when black is all you see
Your storied misery, won't find no company
'Cause there's a darkness in your heart where the light can't go
'Cause there's a darkness in your heart where the light can't go
There's a darkness in your heart where the light can't go
You do your best to hide behind a mask
We'll help you face the task, all you have to do is as
But there's a darkness in your heart where the light can't go
But there's a darkness in your heart where the light can't go
There's a darkness in your heart where the light can't go
You lash out at the one's that you hold dear
To everyone it's clear, you're ruled by envy, pain and fear
And the darkness in your heart where the light can't go
And the darkness in your heart where the light can't go
There's a darkness in your heart where the light can't go
I think it's time to bring this story home
Your will to grow has flown, and you find yourself alone
So there's a darkness in your heart where the light can't go
There's a darkness in your heart where the light can't go
There's a darkness in your heart where the light can't go
There's a darkness in your heart where the light can't go
There's a darkness in your heart , where the light , cannot go

Somebody

Well I'm broken, I'm beaten down, no one cares what I think or say, and maybe they never did, maybe never will or maybe it's just how I'm feeling today
I've spoken, that I've trusted now, that the righteous will one day have their way, but maybe they've gone and hid, headed for the hills, or maybe they're waiting to fight another day
CHORUS:
Was I naive to think, I could change anyone or anything, when I needed the biggest change here in me
When I'm feeling down and like a nobody, that's when I'll try to remember that Everyone is a somebody to someone somewhere
Well I'm stalled out, I'm busted down, and maybe I'm too far in on this, to turn it 'round, cover new ground and start it over in another way
But I called out, but there's no sound, that can reverberate my great desire to turn it down, bring it pound for pound and start it over in another way
CHORUS:
Was I naive to think, I could change anyone or anything, when I needed the biggest change still in me
If I'm feeling down and like a nobody, that's when I'll try to remember that Everyone is a somebody to someone somewhere
Even me...
I'm cashed out, I'm battered down, but I won't let it get to me, you see 'cause even this world got a need for me and in this I will believe
CHORUS:
Was I naive to think, I could change anyone or anything, after I needed the biggest change still in me
If I'm feeling down and like a nobody, that's when I'll try to remember that
Everyone is a somebody to someone somewhere
Everyone is a somebody to someone somewhere
That we are all somebody to someone somewhere
Well I'm broken, I'm beaten down, no one cares what I think or say, and maybe they never did, maybe never will or maybe it's just how I'm feeling today

Ferguson Blues

Over 50 years ago, the King had a march, a spark of hope on the National Mall
He was talkin' 'bout a dream, freedom had the chance to ring behind the momentum of the squall
But as time goes by and the more things change, the more things seem to stay the same
But instead of trying to fix it, with love and understanding, we just fixate on where to place the blame
If we're to judge a man by the character inside, instead of shade or tone of his skin
We ain't never gonna change from this stubborn pride when all sides lap up their chosen spin
Righteous indignation, we've all been wronged it's true, but what will it take to finally see?
If you listens brothers and sisters, you'll hear Soloman say, "if one of us is chained, none of us are free"
CHORUS:
I've got the Ferguson Blues, Whoa, Whoa
I've got the Ferguson Blues, Hands Up, Don't Shoot!
I've got the Ferguson Blues, Whoa, Whoa
'Cause We've got nothing to lose, Whoa, Don't Shoot!
Some folks say the poor need to get off of their asses and get a fast food job that pays
From their cubicle on someone else's time and dime, on the internet you'll find them rage
They'll go on about laziness and a lack of work ethic, but I think something here's out of phase
'Cause they're the same damn people who say a fast food job, was never meant to pay a living wage
CHORUS:
"Staggered by the winds of police brutality", but we've made this dirty bed where we lay
Now the protesters and cops, they're all mixed black and white, but it's no better at the end of the day
'Cause we still divide each other, based on culture, faith and color, but there's a meaner beast roaming the halls
To the monster we created, "we the people" 's overrated, we still bicker while the chaos calls
See we the little people, we're all screwed in this together, 99% and growing each day
'Cause both left and right are wrong, in the game we're just pawns, to the 1% and of the same
Can't see it half empty, can't think about half full, when there's nothing left to swill from the cup
What good is it to teach a man how to fish, when all the streams and rivers have dried up?
CHORUS: (x2)

Let's put full light, on the ones, who reside in the dark
And the fine line, gets entwined 'tween the good and the devil's mark
It's high time, worlds collide, near the tip of Batt'ry Park
Let's give lifelines, to the ones, left behind in the wake
While the fine line, gets entwined 'tween the firms and the State
A bad sign, lords collude, everyone is on the take
PRE-CHORUS :
Slingin' Sabrett's from a cart, under the shade of the silver spires
An honest wage, a fair exchange, but in the towers what conspires?
To sleep at night is a better life, he looks up and wonders how
Some men build marvels, just so other men can tear them down
CHORUS :
To the floor
For the full glass, another pour
To have all and still want more
Though zeroes and ones galore
Let's see Libertines, as the ones,that align in the black
As the fine line, gets entwined ' tween the taught and the slack
The meek rise, folks combine, don't you know we're gonna bring it back
PRE-CHORUS :
Slingin' Sabrett's from a cart, under the shade of the silver spires
An honest wage, a fair exchange, but in the shadows what conspires?
To sleep at night is a better way, he looks up and wonders how
Some men build marvels, just so other men can tear them down
CHORUS :
BRIDGE

I'm thankful, well I'm thankful, for all of the times we had together when we were young
I'm thankful, well I'm thankful, for all of the times we had together in the sun
CHORUS :
Why'd ya have to go so soon? I really thought we had more time
You and I we never got to say goodbye, It was hard to cry
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa
I'm thankful, well I'm thankful, for all of the times we had together when we were young
I'm thankful, well I'm thankful, for all of the times we had together in the sun
CHORUS :
Why'd ya have to go so soon? I really thought we had more time
You and I we never got to say goodbye, It was hard to cry
BRIDGE :
If I could see you in my dreams at night, if I could see you in my dreams
If I could see you then, you'd tell me one more time, it's gonna be okay
I'm thankful, well I'm thankful, for all of the times we had together when we were young
I'm thankful, well I'm thankful, for all of the times we had together in the sun
CHORUS :
Your Golden Years never came true, I thought we had a little more time
You know that tomorrow never came for you, it's okay we will make it through
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa
BRIDGE :
I could see you in my dreams at night, if I could see you in my dreams
If I could see you then, you'd tell me one more time, it's gonna be okay
it's gonna be okay
it's gonna be okay
it's gonna be okay...
