Song Lyrics
Standing at ground zero the weight's too much to bearYou can feel it in your body, you can taste it in the airAnd this our greatest loss can't even be...
Standing at ground zero the weight's too much to bear You can feel it in your body, you can taste it in the air And this our greatest loss can't even be compared To the lives lost each and everyday to nothing but apathy
We cringe at just the thought of one lost innocent These our precious moms and dads, sons and daughters of American decent But what of all the bloodshed for oil and power and greed What of all the lives laid down by nothing but apathy
All over the world All over the world All over the world All over the world
Standing at ground zero with eyes closed, it's hard to take a peek It's hurts to hear forgiving words about turning the other cheek Vengence is may sayeth man, and we will see justice done. We will make those killers pay and keep evil on the run
Somewhere in a desert a child lies dying in her mothers embrace Maybe from cold or from a gunshot wound, maybe with starvation on her face We who fight for our addictions, we who would gladly die for our ease We live without compassion and we spread just like a disease All over the world.
When will we learn that to harm one kills us all When will we realize the self righteous always fall When will we take a chance. Listen to the still small voice inside When will we understand we're all fathers and mothers and sisters and brothers
All over the world All over the world All over the world All over the world

Nice take on a tragic situation. A little Peter Gabriel in your vocal - very cool lyrics and you did a great job on the presentation. Love the slow sort of methodical delivery - like a machine grinding away. Cool tune. Enjoyed my listen. Michael

<p>I was born in SE Missouri, and raised in that rural midwest way. I grew up in and around the church as my dad was a preacher and my mom played piano and sang.</p><p>I learned to swim in the Mississippi river, played in corn fields, and grew up to be a teen in the 70s smokin lots of weed and rebelling against nothing.</p><p>I was an awkward loner of a teen and music was my escape. I loved CSNY, Pink Floyd, Genesis, James Taylor, Harry Chapin, Cat Stevens, The Beatles and everything else that had some depth. As soon as I started playing guitar I began to try to imitate what I was listening to. I started writing not long after I picked up the guitar. I always had plenty of agnst to drive the music. I also had lots of advice as I knew everything.</p><p>I moved to Houston in 1980 at the age of 20. I started playing out locally and began opening for some of the great Texas Singer/Songwriters like Shake Russell, John Vandiver and David Rodriguez. I was in awe of these guys and they spurred me on.</p><p>Through the 80s I played here and there and continued to write. I met my wife in 1990 and we moved to Austin where I got serious about pursuing music. I signed a management and publishing deal with Mark Hybner and recorded a few songs with Mark Hallman at Congress house. Brad Kopp (Jimmy Dale Gilmore) and Mark Hallman (Dan Fogelberg) played on and produced my tunes. Then the kids started coming and life got in the way; music was put on the back burner.</p><p>We moved to Iowa in 1995 and I continued to write but without putting too much effort into it. Starving and supporting a family has a way of making music less important.</p><p>In 1999 I moved to Vermont where I was able to setup a studio and work on music.</p><p>In 2003 I released the album that I started in 1992. Two songs were recorded in Austin, the rest in my studio/office in Vermont.</p><p>I am continuing to work on my next album.</p>
