about

This is the first song I wrote in Gainesville, Fl.

lyrics

My heart is still within my chest
as I see that old sun setting in the west.
I feel it burn, I feel it beat.
I see the new sun rising in the east.

I see a man out on the street.
He's got no home, no shoes upon his feet.
The people give him food.
The people give him change
but he shoots their money up into his veins.
The people turn their face away.

They say that everything's alright
as long as I'm ok.
and nothing's going on as long as I am blind.
But I don't worry about those people because
the sun's going to shine
on the homeless kind.

I see a girl down on her knees.
She's got two children and the oldest
one is three.
She's got no man. She's underclass.
So she sells her body for a little cash.
I see her walking the grocery store.
all the people say everybody knows
that girls a no good whore
and everything is fine as long as I'm not poor.
But I say girl you're going to find
just what you're looking for.
and I say, girl the sun is shining,
what are you waiting for?
It's your open door.

I see a man up on the cross.
His body's broken and his heart's about to stop.
And when it's still within his chest
he sees that old sun setting in the west.
I feel it burn. I feel it beat.
I see that dead man walking up to me.
He says that everything's alright because
I'm your sunshine.
