Save Myself - Willy Mason

when the culture's drowning in a bad dream
save myself, save myself and
when the old religion is the new greed
save myself, save myself and
they sabotaged the levee, killed gris gris
save myself, save myself and
when the vultures copyright the word free
save myself, save myself and
baby won't you come
baby won't you come
baby won't you come
when the elders all are playing make believe; save...
when they teach us lessons that they don't believe; save...
when they build up statues but neglect their seeds; save...
when my love and my hammers all i really need; save...
baby won't you come....
slow and steady
slow and steady
slow and steady
slow and steady...
when i live in a country without history; save...
one that buried its roots with its identity; save...
we still are searching for liberty; save...
we still are hiding from reality; save...
baby won't you come...

Gotta Keep Walkin' - Willy Mason

On the road, no way home,
Guess I gotta keep rollin' on til the lights come on.

I'll sing a song, it won't take long,
Shut my eyes and I'm back where I belong
In trouble's arms
Singing mama's songs when the lights come on.

She said, 'we've gotta keep walking, keep walking.'
She said, 'we've gotta keep walking on.'

I had a dream late last night,
Someone stole my boots in broad daylight.
I put up no fight.
They were out of sight, I still felt alright.

So I walked on, barefoot, strong,
All the other troops marched towards the bomb,
But I wandered off.
They said, 'man, what's wrong?'
I said, 'the light turned on.'

She said, 'we've gotta keep walking, keep walking.'
She said, 'we've gotta keep walking on.'

We lost the highway
With smoke in our eyes.
With these hands and this place,
We will spread our own design.
Spread our own design.

She said, 'we've gotta keep walking, keep walking.'
She said, 'we've gotta keep walking on.'

She said, 'we've gotta keep walking, keep walking.'
She said, 'we've gotta keep walking on.'

She said, 'we've gotta keep walking, keep walking.'
She said, 'we've gotta keep walking on.'

We Can Be Strong - Willy Mason feat. KT Tunstall

signed myself out today
sent a letter far away
said baby i'll be good someday
gonna try again tomorrow
try again tomorrow
i couldn't take that sterile place
in those rooms i lost my face
and in the end they couldn't sell me grace
and they can't sell me tomorrow
can't sell me tomorrow
we can be strong;...
now i'm back on mamma's couch
plenty of time to think about
all of the kids that went the college route
chasing their tomorrows
chasing their tomorrows
one by one my friends dropped out
now i've got brothers to share my doubts
on what this business is all really about
waiting on tomorrow
waiting on tomorrow
we can be strong...
signed myself out today
sent a letter far away
said baby come home today
i'm here and its tomorrow
i'm home and its tomorrow
we can be strong...
