Answer the call...

There's a voice that you've been hearing,
Telling you that somethings wrong.

There are things that you've been seeing,
Telling you it won't be long.

There are children in the dessert dying.
mothers in their backyards crying.
leaders on their soapboxes lying.
As you sit there and listen to the words of this song.

And there's a voice that you've been hearing.
Telling you that somethings wrong.

There are things that you've been seeing,
Telling you it won't be long.

Our mother earth cries to us,
trying to get us to hear.
she tells us we've lost our ways,
but we just turn a death ear.

She shakes us with earthquakes,
pours down flooding rains,
and yet we still dont want to hear.

So now her tears of oil bleed into our oceans,
painting us with our shame,
but yet those of us far enough away, laugh at this dirty game,
as we still keep marching on as if their is nothing to fear.

There's a voice that you've been hearing,
Telling you that somethings wrong.

There are things that you've been seeing,
Telling you it won't be long.


Their are threats to our freedom,
that come from a different voice.
They teach us that we must follow them,
as if we don't have a choice.

Their and blinded ones following,
as their song has such a ring,
filled with promises of brighter days.

But beneath all the glittered promises,
lies the truth of more of the same.

There's a voice that you've been hearing,
Telling you that somethings wrong.

There are things that you've been seeing,
Telling you it won't be long.

So if you are listening,
maybe it's time you answered the call.
Stood up for your freedoms,
and told them that it won't be long.

For the truth is not always the most popular song.
But those who walk with it, are walking where they belong.
And if the words speak to you, there are things to do, do dont sit and let this time fade.
Stand up for the riteous blood will never be spilled in vein.

There's a voice that you've been hearing,
Telling you that somethings wrong.

There are things that you've been seeing,
Telling you it won't be long.

So if you are listening,
maybe it's time you answered the call.
Stood up for your freedoms,
and told them that it won't be long.

just give me one last ride

it was hard to see him laying there,
he looked like he'd been through hell,
the scars and bruises all over him,
told the story very well,

they said it'd been an awful crash,
must have been going a hundred and twelve,
when them semi trailer had cut him off,
and sent him over that guard rail,

i tried to fight the tears back,
as i sat down to say goodbye,
and could swear i heard a enginer purr,
as he opened up his eyes,

he looked at me and could see my fear,
so he tried to calm me down,
he laughed and said well wheres the booze,
ive got some pain i need to drown,

and he said hey man this is the end,
i aint gonna make it to your show,
ive got a restless soul that was born to ride,
and its my time to go,

then he said but there is one thing i gotta ask you to do,
man you gotta get me out of here i dont wanna die in this room,
he looked over at the window seal and said i need some air,
prop that window open so i can breathe,
and help me to that chair,

he fought with all that he could give,
as i took him by the arm,
and as he got close to the window he started to sing a song,

he said...

I ain't praying for tomorrow.
No I dont want back yesterday.
I just wanna beg still or borrow,
just Whats left of today.

lord i know that Im leaving.
I know that it's my time.
But with the last few breaths Im breathing.
Lord all im asking,
is give me just one last ride.

and as he said these words to me,
he rose up out that chair,
and it seemed like angels had lifted him,
as he floated through that air,

that room must have been 20 stories high,
as he went falling down,
and you could hear that engine purring again,
just before he hit the ground,

he said...


I ain't praying for tomorrow.
No I dont want back yesterday.
I just wanna beg still or borrow,
just Whats left of today.

lord that Im leaving.
I know that it's my time.
But with the last few breaths Im breathing.
Lord give me just one last ride.
