Dharmathon, Lyrics

I am just a poor boy and my storys seldom told

Ive squandered my resistance for a pocketful of mumbles, such are promises

All lies and jest, still the man hears what he wants to hear

And disregards the rest, hmmmm

When I left my home and my family, I was no more than a boy

In the company of strangers

In the quiet of the railway station, runnin scared

Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters, where the ragged people go

Looking for the places only they would know.

Help, I need somebody,

Help, not just anybody,

Help, you know I need someone, help.

When I was younger, so much younger than today,

I never needed anybody’s help in any way.

But now these days are gone, I’m not so self assured,

Now I find I’ve changed my mind and opened up the doors.

Some folks trust to reason others trust to might,

I don’t trust to nothin’, but I know it comes out right.

Say it once again now, Whoa, I hope you’ll understand

When it’s done and over, Lord, a man is just a man.

Playin’, playin’ in the band. Daybreak, daybreak on the land.

Some folks look for answers others look for fights,

Some folks up in treetops just a looking for their kites.

Whoa, I can tell your future just look what’s in your hand,

But I can’t stop for nothin’ I’m just playing in the band.

Playin’, playin’ in the band. Daybreak, daybreak on the land.

Standin’ on a tower world at my command

You just keep a turnin’ while I’m playing in the band.

And if a man among you got no sin upon his hand

Let him cast a stone at me for playing in the band.

Playin’, playin’ in the band. Daybreak, daybreak on the land.

Together we’ll stand

Divided we’ll fall

Come on now people

Let’s get on the ball

And work together

Come on, come on

Let’s work together

(Now now people)

Because together we will stand

Every boy, every girl and man

People, when things go wrong

As they sometimes will

And the road you travel

It stays all uphill

Let’s work together

Come on, come on

Let’s work together

You know together we will stand

Every boy, girl, woman and man

Oh well now, two or three minutes

Two or three hours

What does it matter now

In this life of ours

Let’s work together

Come on, come on

Let’s work together

(Now now people)

Because together we will stand

Every boy, every woman and man

Ahhh, come on now…

Ahhh, come on, let’s work together…

Well now, make someone happy

Some come to laugh their past away

Some come to make it just one more day

Whichever way your pleasure tends

If you plant ice you’re gonna harvest wind.

Roll away the dew

Roll away the dew

Roll away the dew

Roll away the dew

In franklins tower the four winds sleep

Like four lean hounds the lighthouse keep

Wildflower seed on the sand and wind

May the four winds blow you home again.
