Tyler Mahard: Lyrics

  Staring out at swaying pine trees As the traffic cruises by A hawk comes swooping into sight How I wish that I could fly I like to sit and daydream But much more than that I need to live my life So that I feel alive Staring at maps and windows Imagination thrives But the sole is restless Take it for a ride I'm way past waiting As you can see Hoping the whole wold Catches up with me The future lies ahead You and I and All Determine what it will be So wake up 'cause if we fall asleep, we all fall I'm way past waiting As you can see Hoping that the world Will set me free Bright red tail The feathers catch my eye Oh how nice it must be To spread those wings and fly Listen

  I live in the city It gets so cold Feel the chill in the air When nobody cares It gets so cold You feel alone in the city Though there's people all around You pass them on the street And they're lookin' down Give your eyes to your neighbor So that we can feel Feel that we're in this together Unity Compassion Empathy Acceptance Forgiveness Open hearts and minds Let's get it goin' Listen

Please... open your eyes For the love of god... wipe the soot from your heart Greed... has poisoned your soul Your conscious... filthier than your coal You fear... what you don't know Yeah that's why... you want them to go We must help... those who flee home Our country will freeze... because you're so cold Listen

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

What does it take to give up on your dreams   Sounds like an engine out of steam   Better find some more fuel for your fire  What does it take to lie to your heart  Well there's a man who's torn apart  That sorta' man I could never be What does it take to hate yourself  I bet you're tryin' to please someone else  You gotta be who you gotta be What does it take to fear the unknown  Misconceptions and a heart of stone  Sounds like a damn fool to me  Your true self is in there, I swear  You will unleash it if you care  I know you can, I know you will  I see the light in your eyes  Some of them wont, some of them can't  They don't have that shine in their eyes  Somebody save me  Before my dreams are buried  I'm all alone now  I guess I'll save myself  What does it take to keep marchin' on  Yeah there's a need for what lies beyond  Over the hills there's somethin' ya see  What d...

  I’ve heard tales but I’ve not seen   The way that this place used to be Wild wolves and crystal streams The loon cries out into your dreams The earth rotates and morning comes You wake up with the rising sun The day is yours, completely free That’s the way it used to be Summer’s end, green to brown Red and yellow leaves drift down A swirl of colors in the air You wonder without a care Climb the hill in the dark of night You gaze up at the star-filled sky Sit and wonder why you’re here These cosmic questions bring you fear If you only knew what was coming you’d cry What was there for years, disappears in the blink of an eye Hold on to what you love, never give it up ‘Cause my friend change is coming, and they want what you love What was there for years, disappears in the blink of an eye Those beautiful deer become penned-up steer living only to die Those colorful trees replaced by cities that light up the night You had star-filled eyes, now there’s smog-filled skies Do we ask...
