Land Of The Free
They put you in jail
But this is America
The land of the free
Rich people have wealth
And politicians steal it
Lining their pockets
With record prophets
They surely forgot Jesus
Parading rockets
This is our today
Stealing tomorrow away
From our own children
The less...

Everybody Makes BobiesEverybody makes boobies,
Put our big feet in it,
Just some clumsy footwork
And we find ourselves in a pit.

The world’s a lovely place,
Unless you’re hurt or poor or sick
Or reeling in disgrace.

The sky a brilliant blue,
But those who grapple with despair
Won’t notice such...

Tomorrow Never ComesSomethings are better
done to day – tomorrow

like mending fences
and pitching hay
meal on the table
and time to pray
grace in the morning
at the end of day
remind those special someones
just how much you love them
do it without...
