Like a River 04:09
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 05:27
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 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

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
