lyrics

We could drive away from the city lights
Keep on going until we start to hear ourselves thinking
Staring up at more stars than we can count
I remember the first time I took on the big questions

Can you be sure that this is not a dream
Or that we're not just practicing for some greater performance
When the lights went down there were hands lifting me up
Never saw a face but you know I believe in the angels

We're not that different we've all got a lot to say
And if you've got the time I'll tell you how I came to feel this way
I want the playing fields level and the ceilings to go away
I want the race to be fair I want it all to start today

They're taking open minds and trying to force them closed
Let's not go back in time we've already been down that road
I want the playing fields level and the ceilings to go away
I want the race to be fair I want it all to start today

I'm reaching out
You may not recognize me
We've been holding on so closely
Now it's time to let go
And we could care more about each other
Take our blinders off
We're all in this thing together
Could build something golden with what we've got

We've come together now with one collective heart
And I turned my head to the sound of something that was missing
Something we found
Something that was lost along the way
That maybe now we won't be so quick to throw away

I'm reaching out
You may not recognize me
We've been holding on so closely
Now it's time to let go
And we could care more about each other
Take our blinders off
We're all in this thing together
Could build something golden with what we've got

Care more about each other
We could take our blinders off
We're all in this thing together
Could build something golden with what we've got

about

I've Tried Sleeping

If I had to point of course I'd have to blame Dylan, but I was ripe before his music forever changed my life.

I've written 1,000 songs, starved, played on the street, played to the crowd, survived band explosions, self-implosions, and have had my heart broken, dreams crushed and soul thinned all over the place chasing that perfection of Mr. Tambourine Man -- and I wouldn't trade a minute of it.
