i was born a baby boy a long time ago. back when the hillsides were green and the water would flow. but nights they fall and settle like snow. i watched as the hillsides turned white with nowhere to go.
Tobacco stains our yellow teeth. And all our fingers and underneath. Our finger nails are glass bone sheets. As we try desperately to sleep. Hearts are saddened, eyes are tired.

Sing, sing at the top at your voice. Love without fear in your heart. Yeah and feel, feel like you still have a choice. If we all light up we can scare away the dark.
