Like a River

It's high on a mountain, the warm winds are blowing
And where the winds are blowing to there ain't no way of knowing
The mountain grass is short, so dry and close to burning
Crying out for water as the season's turning
Sweet smell of the pines, tall the western cedar
Drifting on the wind, through the mountains like a river
And I've been too long away from this wild open sky
On the concrete trails that wind through the canyons dark and wide
With the sounds of people talking in words of blue and gray
And smells of doors and windows closed against the day
The dust lies thick and heavy where my feet are falling
There's nothing but the sound of the jaybird calling
My mind grows dry and thirsty as the memories linger
Drifting on the wind through the mountains like a river

Goldenrod

Some quiet words and a warm embrace
Dirty hands and barefoot grace
You kiss me only to say goodbye
No matter how I try
Sometimes I think I've seen the face of God
When the hills shine with goldenrod
When a cool wind scatters the white milkweed
And when you're near me
I'm sorry my dear but there's something I need to say
Two weeks from now I'll still be here and you'll be far away
And I can't let you go so soon
It's just too soon

One of the trains
Leavin' tomorrow
Gonna take all
All of my sorrow
Take me away
I've got enough to pay
And it really doesn't matter where you're takin' me anyway
Take me as far as you can from this night
Across all the borders, past all the lights
I'll take with me nothing but time
And hope that it changes my mind
Life of the party, musical chairs
When everyone's willing but nobody cares
One thing's for sure now I know
I've sure got a long way to go

Gracias a la vida

Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
Me dio dos luceros, que cuando los abro,
Perfecto distingo lo negro del blanco
Y en el alto cielo su fondo estrellado
Y en las multitudes el hombre que yo amo
Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
Me ha dado el sonido y el abecedario;
Con el las palabras que pienso y declaro:
Madre, amigo, hermano, y luz alumbrando
La ruta del alma del que estoy amando
Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
Me ha dado la marcha de mis pies cansados;
Con ellos anduve ciudades y charcos,
Playas y desiertos, montanas y llanos,
Y la casa tuya, tu calle y tu patio
Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
Me dio el corazon que agita su marco
Cuando miro el fruto del cerebro humano,
Cuando miro al bueno tan lejos del malo,
Cuando miro al fondo de tus ojos claros
Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
Me ha dado la risa y me ha dado el llanto
Asi yo distingo dicha de quebranto,
Los dos materiales que forman mi canto,
Y el canto de ustedes que es mi mismo canto,
Y el canto de todos que es mi propio canto

After All This Time
04:02

Every morning, every day
The battle is reborn
Friend, haven't you heard the news?
Facts and figures, hand picked like cherries
And twisted like a crown of thorns
You know I may be wrong but I still think we've got something to lose
Well, here's one thing that I know is true
Love only wins if we're willing to fight for it
Tell me now what are we gonna do?
After all this time, there must be something
Close your eyes, just believe
It's all part of God's plan
And it's not against the rules if you're playing a different game
We all sit down and listen so attentively
As the wolf tells us he's a lamb
And convince ourselves that there's someone else to blame
Have we forgotten who we are?
I don't know this America
We've raised the stakes and we've lowered the bar
After all this time, I still feel something
The tired and the poor, the homeless and helpless
Turn them all away
The widow and orphan are a threat
While the cowards in collars, they run to their pulpits
For peace they pray
If the ever wanna sleep then they'll need all the help they can get
Yeah, I don't have patience for piety
I don't have time for fascist lies
But I see you now and you see me
After all this time, at least that's something
Well, here's one thing that I know is true
Love only wins if we fight like hell for it
Tell me now what are we gonna do?
After all this time, there must be something
I still feel something
And at least that's something
