American Song Box

Lyrics

This is a song about how we had it all
but we then we let it fall apart
This is a song less of mind
and more straight from the heart
These are the words that we use
to pull the message through
With a beat that's been handed us down through generations
and a melody inspired by intervening divination
It's a song that's been waiting to be sung since the dawning of creation

This is a song of redemption and the healing of all scars
It's a song of sobriety and temperance and the making of new stars
These are the voices we fuse
These are the bodies that we move
and it's a wheel that won't stop once that it's put into motion
from sea to shimmering sea there's an ever growing notion
These are the tools that we use to build bridges over oceans

This is a song about how we had it all
but got lost along the road
From the knowingness of how all that we come from and the where all that we go
These are the times when we notice
the little space that lies between us
And it comes on with a vengeance, no apologies and no warning
and it's fresh and it's wild
and it's new with every morning
It's a song that packed with dynamite and fear brimming up and over flowing
