I feel your love
I feel your strong love
I feel the patience among conditional love
I feel a strength
I feel your faith in me
I’ll never let you down no matter what you do
If you just walk with me and let me walk with you
I’m on this journey I don’t wanna walk alone

Walk with me
Walk with me
Walk with me
Walk with me

Walk with me
Shine me a light
Walk with me
Walk with me

I lost some people I was travelling with me
I missed a soul in the old friendship

 

 

Sign of love

When we go for a little walk,
Out on the land,
When we’re just walkin’ and holdin’ hands,

You can take it as a sign of love,
When the winds of fate,
Keep blowin’ and we both understand,

Sign of love
It’s a sign of love
Sign of love
Sign of love

When we both have silver hair,
And a little less time,
But there still are roses on the vine,

You can take it as a sign of love,
When I look at you,
When I’m lookin’ at you for a long, long time

It’s a sign of love,
A sign of love,
Sign of love,

Sign of love

When I first saw you,
You were just a girl,
And I was a man,
While the music played,
I watched you dance,

Sign of love
It was a sign of love
Sign of love
Sign of love

 

 

Someone’s gonna rescue you

Somewhere in the rays of sunshine, you find the dark
Somehow when you see the spark, it burns your heart
Someone’s gonna rescue you and bring you back

I see you standing there, I hear you call
And when you look at me, you don’t see it all
Someone’s gonna rescue you before you fall

No one can do the things you do
Someone can save you

You’re scared of the way it goes sometimes in the night
When it gets the best of you, you put up a fight
Someone’s gonna rescue you and make it right

Someone’s gonna rescue you
Someone’s gonna rescue you
Someone’s gonna rescue you

 

 

Love And War

When I sing about love and war
I don’t really know what I’m saying
I’ve been in love and I’ve seen a lot of war
Seen a lot of people praying
They pray to Allah and they prey to the lord
But mostly they pray about love and war
Pray about love and war
I’ve seen a lot of young men go to war
And leave a lot of young brides waiting
I’ve watched them try to explain it to their kids
And seen a lot of them failing
They tried to tell them and they tried to explain
Why daddy won’t ever come home again.
Daddy won’t ever come home again
I said a lot of things that I can’t take back
But I don’t really know if I want to
There’ve been songs about love
I sang songs about war
Since the backstreets of Toronto
I sang for justice and I hit a bad chord
But I still try to sing about love and war
Sing about love and war
The saddest thing in the whole wide world
Is to break the heart of your lover
I made a mistake and I did it again
And we struggled to recover
Then I sang in anger, hit another bad chord
But I still try to sing about love and war
I’ve been in love and I’ve seen a lot of war
Seen a lot of people praying
They pray to Allah and they prey to the lord
But mostly they pray about love and war
Pray about love and war.

 

 

Angry World

Some see life as a broken promise
Some see life as a endless fight
They think they live in the age of darkness
They think they live in the age of light

It’s a angry world
And everything is gonna be alright
Yeah it’s a angry world
Yeah it’s a angry world

Some see life as hope eternal
Some see life as a business plan
Some wish some would go to hells inferno
For screwing with their life in freedom land

It’s a angry world
For the business man and the fisherman
It’s a angry world
And no doubt everything will go as planned

Yeah it’s a angry world
Yeah it’s a angry world

 

 

Hitchhiker

When I was a hitchhiker on the road, I had to count on you
But you needed me to ease the load and for conversation too
Or did you just drive on through ?

You didn’t see me in Toronto when I first tried out some hash
Smoked through a pen and I’d do it again but I didn’t have cash
I didn’t have the cash.

Then I tried amphetamines and my head was in a glass
Taped underneath the speedometer wires of my ’48 Buick’s dash
But I knew that wouldn’t last.

Then came California where I first saw open water
In the land of opportunity I knew I was getting hotter
I knew I was getting hotter.

But the neon lights and the endless nights they took me by surprise
The doctor gave me valium but I still couldn’t close my eyes
I still couldn’t close my eyes.

Then came paranoia and it ran away with me
I couldn’t sign my autograph or appear on TV
Or see or be seen.

Living in the country looked good to me
Smoking grass while the summer passed in the real organic sea
Where everything was green.

Then we had a kid and we split apart, I was living on the road
A little cocaine went a long long way to ease that different load
And my head did explode, my head did explode.

I wish I was an Aztec or a runner in Peru
I could build such beautiful buildings to house the chosen few
Like an Inca from Peru.

Many years have come and gone
Like friends and enemies I tried to leave my past behind
But it’s catching up with me.

I don’t know how I’m standing here
Living my life, I’m thankful for my children
And my faithful wife.

 

 

Peaceful Valley Boulevard

One day shots rang across the peaceful valley
God was crying tears that fell like rain
Before the railroad came from Kansas City
And the bullets hit the bison from the train
Shots rang across the peaceful valley
White man laid his foot upon the plain.

The wagon train rolled through the dusty canyon
The settlers full of wonder as they crossed
A gentle creek where two old oaks were standing
Before the west was won there was a cost
A rain of fire came down upon the wagons
A mother screamed and every soul was lost.

Change hit the country like a thunderstorm
Ancient rivers soon began to boil
People rushed like water to California
At first they came for gold and then for oil
Fortunes were made and lost in lifetimes
Mother earth took poison in her soil.

An electro cruiser coasted towards the exit
And turned on Peaceful Valley Boulevard
“People make the difference” read a billboard
Above a long line of idling cars.

Who’ll be the one to lead this world
Who’ll be the beacon in the night
Who’ll be the one to lead this world
Who’ll be the beacon in the night
Who’ll be the one to lead the nations
And protect God’s creations

A polar bear was drifting on an ice floe
Sun beating down from the sky
Politicians gathered for a summit
And came away with nothing to decide
Storms thundered on, his tears of falling rain
A child was born and wondered why.

 

 

Rumblin’

I feel the rumblin’ in her ground.
I feel the rumblin’.
I feel the rumblin’ in her ground.
I feel the rumblin’.

When Will I learn how to listen?
When will I learn how to feel?
When will I learn how to give back?
When will I learn how to give back?
When will I learn how to heal?

I can feel the weather changing.
I can see it all around.
Can’t you feel that new wind blowing?
Don’t you recognize that sound that sound?

And the earth is slowly spinning, spinning slowly, slowly changing.
I feel something in the air.
I feel the rumblin’ in her ground.
I feel the rumblin’
I feel the rumblin’ in her ground.
I feel the rumblin’

When will I learn?
When will I learn?
When will I learn how to give back?
When will I learn how to give back?
When will I learn how to heal?
