I got this song link from a comment on this POST from reader Craig...Thanks!
My 5 A.M. alarm goes off, I'm rolling out of bed
I turn the TV on, to wake up and clear my head
I catch the news, just in time to view another stirring of the pot
Talks of in-equality, what people need, and forgetting what they've got
But in these times of opposition, the prejudice runs deep
Dividing us by heritage is all they ever preach
Chorus:
They tell us that they really care
But to them it's just a game
'Cause we were all Americans
before the hyphens came
When people cared 'bout who you were
and less about your name
'Cause we were all Americans
Before the hyphens came
Somewhere down along the line, someone had the great idea
to divide us up by heritage, and profit from that fear
But growing up a while back, before these racial trends
Whether immigrant, or white or black, we just called each other friends
And if we spoke an extra language, it was just another way
To pledge allegiance to the flag, God bless the USA
Chorus
So don't listen to those talking heads
There's one thing they forgot
That this Sweet Land of Liberty
Should be one big Melting Pot
So take away the hyphens
We'll all be the same
No more lines betweens us
Together we'll remain
Forget about your color
Forget about your name
No more lines between us
Cause we are all the same

Busy Morning as Well As Writers Block.... Heres some Firefall
I've been running around getting some errands done and have come up with nothing to post.
I got my Silverado back last night around 6:30pm and she looks and rides great. I also got the taillights fixed on
the company van. The sockets for the brake lights had burned ground connections and it was causing the lights
to act weird. I purchased a couple new harnesses and all is well.
I gotta hit the webs now and see whats goin on...
I recommended to Coolchange to check out Firefall, Here is a sample :.
Didn't I hear you cry this mornin'
Didn't I feel you weep
Teardrops flowing down on me
Like rivers in my sleep
And in my dream of laughter
You came creepin' with your fears
Telling me your sorrow
In the trace ends of your tears
That's a strange way to tell me you love me
When your sorrow is all I can see
If you just want to cry to somebody
Don't cry to me
No, don't cry to me
Didn't I hear your voice this morning
Didn't you call my name
I heard you whisper softly
But the words were never plain
And in your dream of darkness
I came shinin' like a sun
Waiting for the laughter
But the laughter never comes
That's a strange way to tell me you love me
When your sorrow is all I can see
If you just want to cry to somebody
Don't cry to me
No, don't cry to me
No
Didn't you feel alone this mornin'
Didn't you need a friend
And in your darkest hour
You came runnin' back again
That's a strange way to tell me you love me
When your sorrow is all I can see
If you just want to cry to somebody
Don't cry to me
No, don't cry to me
Don't cry to me
Don't cry to me
Don't cry to me
That's a strange way to tell me you love me
That's a strange way to tell me you love me
That's a strange way to tell me you love me

The Throttle Was Down on the Ride Home With This One.....
Rime Of The Ancient Mariner lyrics
( Harris )
Hear the rime of the Ancient Mariner
See his eye as he stops one of three
Mesmerises one of the wedding guests
Stay here and listen to the nightmares
of the sea.
And the music plays on, as the bride passes by
Caught by his spell and
the Mariner tells his tale.
Driven south to the land of snow and ice
To a place where nobody’s been
Through the snow fog flies on the albatross
Hailed in God’s name,
hoping good luck it brings.
And the ship sails on, back to the north
Through the fog and ice and the albatross follows on
The mariner kills the bird of good omen
His shipmates cry against what he’s done
But when the fog clears, they justify him
And make themselves a part of the crime.
Sailing on and on and North across the sea
Sailing on and on and North `til all is calm.
The albatross begins with its vengeance
A terrible curse a thirst has begun
His shipmates blame bad luck on the Mariner
About his neck, the dead bird is hung.
And the curse goes on and on and on at sea,
And the thirst goes on and on for them and me.
“Day after day, day after day,
we stuck nor breath nor motion
As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean
Water, water everywhere and
all the boards did shrink
Water, water everywhere nor any drop to drink.”
SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE (1798-1834)
There, calls the Mariner,
there comes a ship over the line
But how can she sail with no wind
in her sails and no tide.
See .....onward she comes
Onward she nears, out of the sun
See.... She has no crew
She has no life, wait but there’s two
Death and she life in Death,
they throw their dice for the crew
She wins the Mariner and he belongs to her now.
Then... crew one by one
They drop down dead, two hundred men
She...She, Life in Death.
She lets him live, her chosen one.
Narrative
“One after one by the star dogged moon,
too quick for groan or sigh
each turned his face with a ghastly pang,
and cursed me with his eye
four times fifty living men
(and I heard nor sigh nor groan),
with heavy thump, a lifeless lump,
they dropped down one by one.”
SAMUEL TAYLOR COLRIDGE (1798- 1834)
The curse it lives on in their eyes
The Mariner he wished he’d die
Along with the sea creatures
But they lived on, so did he.
And by the light of the moon
He prays for their beauty not doom
With heart he blesses them
God’s creatures all of them too
Then the spell starts to break
The albatross falls from his neck
Sinks down like lead into the sea
Then down in falls comes the rain.
Hear the groans of the long dead seamen
See them stir and they start to rise
Bodies lifted by good spirits
None of them speak
and they’re lifeless in their eyes.
And revenge is still sought, penance starts again
Cast into a trance and the nightmare carries on.
Now the curse is finally lifted
And the Mariner sights his home
Spirits go from the long dead bodies
Form their own light and
the Mariner’s left alone.
And then a boat came sailing towards him
It was a joy he could not believe
The pilots boat, his son and the hermit.
Penance of life will fall onto Him.
And the ship sinks like lead into the sea
And the hermit shrieves the Mariner of his sins.
The Mariner’s bound to tell of his story
To tell his tale wherever he goes
To teach God’s word by his own example
That we must love all things that God made.
And the wedding guest’s a sad and wiser man
And the tale goes on and on and on.

One World, One Soul, Time Pass, The River Rolls....
The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land
Plumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky:
A man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers,
But awakes to a morning with no reason for waking
He's haunted by the memory of a lost paradise
In his youth or a dream, he can't be precise
He's chained forever to a world that's departed
It's not enough, it's not enough
His blood has frozen & curdled with fright
His knees have trembled & given way in the night
His hand has weakened at the moment of truth
His step has faltered
One world, one soul
Time pass, the river rolls
It's not enough it's not enough
His hand has faltered
.... .... ......
And he talks to the river of lost love and dedication
And silent replies that swirl invitation
Flow dark and troubled to an oily sea
A grim intimation of what is to be
There's an unceasing wind that blows through this night
And there's dust in my eyes, that blinds my sight
And silence that speaks so much louder that words,
Of promises broken

Could This Be Coming To Amerika?
"Red Sector A"
All that we can do is just survive
All that we can do to help ourselves is stay alive
Ragged lines of ragged grey
Skeletons, they shuffle away
Shouting guards and smoking guns
Will cut down the unlucky ones
I clutch the wire fence until my fingers bleed
A wound that will not heal
A heart that cannot feel
Hoping that the horror will recede
Hoping that tomorrow we'll all be freed
Sickness to insanity
Prayer to profanity
Days and weeks and months go by
Don't feel the hunger
Too weak to cry
I hear the sound of gunfire at the prison gate
Are the liberators here?
Do I hope or do I fear?
For my father and my brother, it's too late
But I must help my mother stand up straight
Are we the last ones left alive?
Are we the only human beings to survive?
All that we can do is just survive
All that we can do to help ourselves is stay alive
Ragged lines of ragged grey
Skeletons, they shuffle away
Shouting guards and smoking guns
Will cut down the unlucky ones
I clutch the wire fence until my fingers bleed
A wound that will not heal
A heart that cannot feel
Hoping that the horror will recede
Hoping that tomorrow we'll all be freed
Sickness to insanity
Prayer to profanity
Days and weeks and months go by
Don't feel the hunger
Too weak to cry
I hear the sound of gunfire at the prison gate
Are the liberators here?
Do I hope or do I fear?
For my father and my brother, it's too late
But I must help my mother stand up straight
Are we the last ones left alive?
Are we the only human beings to survive?

Their Name is "AVIATIC"
Time just withers away
Stealing day after day
The moon calls, the night falls
Goodbye beautiful day
Seems time never can stay
Just keeps running away
The stars fly and hearts cry
Leaving nothing left to say
[Chorus]
Goodbye beautiful day
I must be on my way
Bring the rain to wash the pain
I'm sorry I can't stay
Goodbye beautiful day
That's all I have to say
Come tomorrow I'll be gone
I'm sorry I can't stay (Sorry I can't stay)
Time always has a say
Slowly slipping away
It's gone now yet somehow
There's no telling time today
This time I'll go away
And I'll be gone to stay
We all know we'll all go
That's all I have to say
[Chorus]
Goodbye beautiful day
I must be on my way
Bring the rain to wash the pain
I'm sorry I can't stay
Goodbye beautiful day
That's all I have to say
Come tomorrow I'll be gone
I'm sorry I can't stay (Sorry I can't stay)
[Chorus]
Goodbye beautiful day
I must be on my way
Bring the rain to wash the pain
I'm sorry I can't stay
Goodbye beautiful day
That's all I have to say
Come tomorrow I'll be gone
I'm sorry I can't stay (Sorry I can't stay)
[Chorus]
Goodbye beautiful day
I must be on my way
Bring the rain to wash the pain
I'm sorry I can't stay
Goodbye beautiful day
That's all I have to say
Come tomorrow I'll be gone
I'm sorry I can't stay (Sorry I can't stay)
