Secular Song

from Birds And Believers by brick bosso

/

lyrics

I was born in a town that was lost and then found
Very far from the sound of the sea
Right from the start, a rebel at heart
Just like my daddy before me.
Mom said “be wise, lift up your eyes
Don’t do like your daddy has done
Work hard in school, don’t play the fool
Walk in the light of the sun.”
I might have been richer, my life might be longer
To conquer the world with a love that is stronger
If daddy was wise, as wise as can be
If daddy loved the good book, as much as he loved money.
Time has gone by, and now I know why
Momma’s words sounded so true
As years go their way, I still hear her say
“Don’t let this old world destroy you.”
I might have been richer, my life might be longer
To conquer the world with a love that is stronger
If daddy was wise, as wise as can be
If daddy loved the good book, as much as he loved money.
Every generation blames the one that came before
It’s always been the same but it doesn’t change the nature of our pain
When the storm is rolling in, and the walls come crashing down
Envision yourself in a new town.
I was born in a town that was lost and then found
Very far from the sound of the sea
Right from the start, a rebel at heart
Just like my daddy before me.
Mom said “be wise, lift up your eyes
Don’t do like your daddy has done
Work hard in school, don’t play the fool
Walk in the light of the sun.”
I might have been richer, my life might be longer
To conquer the world with a love that is stronger
If daddy was wise, as wise as can be
If daddy loved the good book, as much as he loved money.

brick bosso Los Angeles, California

I've been playing music on keyboards ever since I got turned on to Ragtime music as a kid, thanks to the chart topping single "The Entertainer," by Scott Joplin. I find creating music addictive -- I use virtual and hardware synths, drum machines, production tools and sometimes guitar. Though for truly stellar guitar work I turn to Mark Abbruzzese and Eric Endo. ... more
