about

lyrics

Older man he comes, Along the open road
Times they may be changin' still his pace it never slows
No food to hold him over, he carries all he owns,
This guitar his father gave him, it's the only work he knows

He sings his songs of hardships, he has had to fight
His songs teach us of patience, and keeps our spirit's high

So when the poisons try to take you, never let their sickness break you
Keep the faith if just to make it through the day
Through the depths of all their stressins', hold your ground but search for lessons,
Keep the faith if just to make it through the day, keep the faith

She's been like a muse for my music, it moves it, in tune with these frequencies, we've been experiencing along our travels
still passing through the perills, yeah i know i've got my devils but i've finally learned to level,
now i'm caught in her net, hooked again out of the water, treat her the same, as i watched my father treat my mother, i'm done playing games, i've got the strength to admit it, and just like common, i've got the sense to stay commited, no gimmicks, these lyrics, reflect the part of me that i would go to any galaxy to see you see the reason i believe is all about security, and wantin' to change, i heard her sing a song i knew i'd never be the same
and everybody's got their tribulations, and it's in those situations we survive through conversation, so i continue staying true, never leave her feelin' shameful, lost in her essence as I strive to be faithful.

Keep patience, patience never let go of hope, pull your mind past all negative outcomes,
Patience, patience, never let go of hope, pull on past your distractions
because life is a balance, beneath these reactions, faith is the way i manipulate my actions, maintain prepared stay aware of surprise, when it's a question of strength and not a question of size
and i've stood the tests and weather the storms, and i've seen the oppressed fight their way to reform, keep the past to my back, plan attacks to move forward, keeping faith alive alive alive alive alive alive...
