honest songs, honestly sung

This hand-drawn image is inspired by Letter to a Young Poet, written by William Carlos Williams, in which he describes how all our efforts as writers and as men must be to release the enchained dragon within us.

Lament

I don’t understand
What happened, man?
I wonder how we survived…

‘Cause when you left
We were on our own
We tried to find ourselves a home…

We never found one
and we’re roaming still today
I wonder how we got this way…

And Mother whispered
in a thousand ways…
and dragged you back
in a thousand ways…
That was the moment
when everything shined…
Until you left the Garden behind…

Where have you gone?
Joined Uncle Tom
I wonder when we’ll break away…

Can’t you hear the horn?
Calling to the sky?
We’re trying hard not to let that die…

We never will
‘cause we’re stronger every day
I wish you got it your way…
