about

Stress dreams, perpetual anxiety and isolation is my life, only to wake up smack dab inside modern reality. There's a way out, which means meeting these challenges head-on, with as much generosity and grace as we can muster.

lyrics

well I got up to face a brave new world
and all I found was this old faded tshirt

I see the folks on the corners holding signs
that state they're hungry and broke
and running out of time
I wished I had a buck
when I saw the lady in the lexus turn away

so much for the high life
so much for the land of the free
I got up to move that mountain
but the mountain just came down on top of me

so much for the high life
nothin free around here

so much for the high life
so much for the land of the free
I got up to move that mountain
but the mountain just came down on top of me

so much for the high life
nothin free around here
