Long Crawl

New at http://www.inkensoul.com/, my recent recording of ‘Long Crawl'. Written in Los Angeles, this song of striving is played utilizing an acoustic guitar as a percussive instrument. Though the sound is interesting, to see it played live is something to behold. Go to www.inkensoul.com/music.cfm for my latest musical releases. The downloads are only 21 cents through PayPal, and cover songs are available for free.

 

LONG CRAWL

Wise man said to be the change you want to see

the change you want to see in your world

hopeless is the man who tries to bother me

by setting fire to what has been unfurled

The beginning is the end for all eternity

and each new day bring the death of one day old

building on these moments that my eyes have seen

looking down the cold and lonely road

CHORUS

It's a long crawl from where I am to where I want to be

It's a far cry from what I feel to what I let you see

yesterday was tomorrow only the day before

I watched it pass through my hooded eyes

what kind of man has never watched the sun set

what kind of man has never longed to fly

Faithless is the man who never takes a step

toward the horizon where he stores his dreams

you'll never fly if you don't take that running start

you'll never soar if you don't spread your wings

CHORUS

You never know what's behind that golden door

and you won't get in if you don't have the key

you push and push until you cannot try no more

you grunt, you sweat, you ache, you hurt, you bleed

Giving up comes easy for the weaker man

lying down comes easy for the dead

comfort find the man who strives to stand his ground

leaning on the shoulders of his friends

CHORUS

 

Also, it's not too late to order your copy of ‘The Rucksack Letters' in time for Christmas.
