HURRICANE
Music: Juan Barbosa
Lyrics: Douglas McLean / Juan Barbosa
Socan June 27 2017
Outta my head
And I just can’t sleep
48 hours
Still counting sheep
Can’t find no relief
Can’t find the place
Where I can get some peace
So I can find a way
To start a new day
With a whole new end
Gotta find my life all over again
And transcend fear
‘Cause I gotta a heart to mend
I can’t stay here
Gotta no time to pretend
Only time ascend to highest heights
Where the bombs don’t drop
And the people don’t fight
‘Cause it just ain’t right to be living so wrong
That’s why I’m writing bars
And spitting on this song
A friend told me that I gotta hold on
To love with both hands when the wind blows strong
And his words still echo inside my head
Because he looked me in the eyes
And said
You got to hold onto to your love
You got to fight for its survival
You got hold on with both hands if you can
‘Cause the hurricane is coming
Something’s not right
Something’s all wrong
Something in my life just doesn’t belong
This feeling in my heart makes the beat so strong
And I can’t help but think it was there all along
But what if it was gone
And there wasn’t a way
To bring peace to this world
Where our children play
Call this rhyme cliché
But there’s only one place
Mother Earth
And you know we gotta keep her safe
Because she can’t be replaced
And we can’t go back
So if Love is the answer
Then this is the soundtrack
Still the egomaniacs
Are resisting the feedback
Because they’re blinded by the greed and the need for greenbacks
It’s not hard to see there’s a hurricane coming
And when it hits shore, we better start runnin’ huh a
‘Cause if we don’t
We gonna wind up dead
So remember what the wise man said
You got to hold onto to your love
You got to fight for its survival
You got hold on with both hands if you can
Cause the hurricane is coming

Born to Fly

(For Ian)
Are you stuck in a doorway?
Can’t seem to find your way out?
And the clues you’ve been counting on
Never seem to add up?
You can’t wait forever for someone to show you the route.
You could hide, Baby
Or you could learn to fly!
All the bankers, lawyers and teachers
Have lied to your face!
Telephone schemers and dreamers
Have left in disgrace!
There’s a storm on the skyline
And it looks like it’s headed for us!
You could hide, Baby
Or you could learn to fly!
There’s blood in the streets
And lust in the moon
Children are running from the bombs and the ruin
If your heart is confused
It’s not so hard to believe
You could run, Baby
Or you could learn to fly
When the dust finally settles
Do you think we’ll be able to see?
Through the clouds of deception,
And terrible torment of greed?
It doesn’t take much to feel
In the air we all breathe
We ‘re all one, baby
And we were born to fly
We were born to fly!
We were born to fly!
We were born to fly!
