I was born a blue collar boy, 26 years ago, before the turn of the century. What a time to be alive. What a time to love your live and be whole. Patiently at the threshold of chaos. I hear a rustling in the distance. Its that courage, its that wisdom. They're coming to me. What am I waiting for? I've got this long walk ahead of me. That path is paved in everything from missed meals to love loss.
Its a long long walk from where you are you where you have to go.
I've been taking on all of this danger. Been spanging for all of my neighbors. Give this love, remaining grateful, a long road. Been feeding off the bottom. The only fuel I had to start up was the love inside this garden, a long road. I'm still fighting the pain each day. Still this love must cast its ray. Let that love outshine that pain, a long road.
I'm alive at 26 years old, been making my way down this old road. On foot or in van, i've come to understand that this path is mine, choose love, be kind along this old road.
