Place

 

We have left the place that brought us about
Paved it over and shut it out
The knowledge tucked away in seldom-opened books
Most of it remains, but people hardly look

Depleted and constrained, recklessly destroyed
Inhabitants left to waste in the void
Consequences... are ignored
Bigger picture... is in the dark

Why does it have to be, why does it have to be... this way?
Why is there so much greed, why is there so much greed?
What makes you think that you deserve more than anyone else?
Are you really happy with all your wealth?

All I have left to say to you my friend...
What do you want there to be left in the end?
Are you still too thick to see...
that what's done to that place is done to you and me?

Voyage

I’m leavin’  Traveling southwest Through Pennsylvania Over hills With sunshine on my head  Through West Virginia I’ll see some mountains Got my guitar On my back  And I’ve got my sleeping bag I’ll sleep under stars As coyotes howl Just me and nature And the people along the way  Travelling further west I’ll cross the plains Under the big sky That’s where I meet you At nighttime with the stars reflected in your eyes  Climb on my horse now Rest your head On the back of my neck Climb on my horse now Rest your head On the back of my neck Listen
