about

Music and Lyrics By Dan Frechette. Violin arrangements by Laurel Thomsen.

lyrics

After all of his work was ploughed into the dirt
He began to drift to times when his every whim would flirt
with the impossible the dream
of knowing there's a way
to look upon the moon and the stars
and the dawning of the day

You can follow him and hope you'll be the lucky one
In your forefathers footsteps the lucky one
and hope whenever there's a chance that you can repay
the debt their inspiration left to help you find your way.

He didn't have to show you the trail he blazed for you
making his mistakes and never knowing what to do
mansions never graced his hills but hot sweat graced his brow
he used to look upon this world the way that you do now

In his time of dying he only asks that you're freed
of treachery and doubt and never knowing what you need
everywhere you go in life I'm sure he's made the turn
and looked upon these times and all the things you never learn
