lyrics

I stepped out the city holding two bags with me
One with food and the other my guitar
I sat near the stream where the wind pulled the trees hair
And I sang out this song to my lord
I sang

Why am I singing
If no life can come from this living?
I tried to give them
What they want but now I'm left with nothing

Well the black heart of business had stolen the music
That I keep deep within my heart
By forgetting to listen they have been missing
My truth as they quantify my worth

Why am I singing
If no life can come from this living?
I tried to give them
What they want but now I'm left with nothing

I won't kneel for money or any of your honey
I just want the truth from your heart
These songs I am singing are not from me thinking they are given from the heaven above

Well I'll keep on singing these songs I am given
Even if its only for the trees
This stream where I'm sitting holds many more wisdoms
Than any of the stages I could play
