If history could rewrite itself
What would it write?
If people growing older would be a little bolder
Could we ever win this fight?
I’m sitting, I’m sitting, I’m asking
I’m wishing, I’m wishing, believing
If we could all deliver the things we thought were clearer
Would this tragedy subside?
Feels like everyone’s a goner, the lines we drew have faltered
And I can’t believe my eyes
I’m sitting, I’m sitting, I’m asking
I’m wishing, I’m wishing, believing
Stay here and wait for the day that I find change
Yes, I’ll wait for eternity
Stay here and wait for the day that I find change
Yes, I’ll wait for eternity

Gold Rush

Years ago I left to find my fame and fortune
How could I have known seven years gone slow and I’d be making my way back home
I’m on my way back home to you darling
Don’t worry about me, I’ll be home soon
I’m on my way back home to you darling
Don’t worry about me, I’ll be home soon
All of the long days I tried to find some meaning that would transfer to us both
But now I’m here just looking at the years and what am I doing here
I’m coming back with less than what I left with
I found no fortune or fame to speak of
All I want is to be in your arms
To hold you closely away from harm
I’m on my way back home to you darling
Don’t worry about me, I’ll be home soon
I’m on my way back home to you darling
Don’t worry about me, I’ll be home soon
I’m on my way, I’m on my way
I’m on my way back home
I’m on my way, I’m on my way
I’m on my way back home

Thicker Skin

Where did I go is the question you want to know
And the answer is written down the road
I couldn’t stay, the thoughts tied up with words of shame
And resentment from sparks of pain
And where’s the truth, and what to do
I feel I’ve wasted time with you
I’m all cut down, my skin’s a little thicker
All because of you
Thoughts of you, twisted stain, news of truth
I’m feeling hopeless and lead astray
I bore the news, last minute, urgent, and I knew
Your presence near, it couldn’t move
And where’s the truth, and what to do
I feel I’ve wasted time with you
I’m all cut down, my skin’s a little thicker
All because of you
And where’s the truth, and what to do
I feel I’ve wasted time with you
I’m all cut down, my skin’s a little thicker
All because of you

90 Years

An old life to an end
Timeless pictures captured with the dead
90 years come and past
One man’s efforts drained and spent
A mind so out of place
A memory so lost in space
A love that has slipped away
My affections will never leave him
Who’s to say all was in vain
Can one life reveal the unseen?
Love is a word that captures us all
He knows it well
A mind so out of place
A memory so lost in space
A love that has slipped away
My affections will never leave him
A mind so out of place
A memory so lost in space
A love that has slipped away
My affections will never leave him
He knows it well
He knows it well
He knows it well
He knows it well

Steady Boy

You wait all day and he doesn't show
Two days past and a long way to go
You're growing lonely and mama's cold
You feed the fire
Lay your head down on your pillow boy
He'll make it home somehow
No need to worry, it'll be all right
Daddy's gonna make it to town
Worry creeps in, it's been three days
No letter, no reason for the wait
He's somewhere out there all alone
You pray the Lord to guide him safe back home
Lay your head down on your pillow boy
He'll make it home somehow
No need to worry, it'll be all right
Daddy's gonna make it to town
Your eyes search out the window
Mama's crying and you're losing hope
Steady boy, don't you worry now
I see a light a'coming, and it's getting close
Lay your head down on your pillow boy
He'll make it home somehow
No need to worry, it'll be all right
Daddy's gonna make it to town
Lay your head down on your pillow boy
He'll make it home somehow
No need to worry, it'll be all right
Daddy's gonna make it to town
