Lyrics
He had no father, His mother’s wayward son. Lived near the factories. He stood out in the sun. Had no promise. No purpose that he knew Yet, something called to him. He had no substance. He had a broken soul. Ate what they fed him, He never thought at all. But when a night star Was rising in the sky There were dreams in him. He learned of nothing As he gazed out from his school To azure sky – He followed all the rules. They told him something And he just said it back. Took all that nonsense And stuffed it in a sack. Something mattered, But he did not understand And yet it burned in him. Then something happened, They built that bloody war. Dressed him up And marched him out the door To kill for nothing Of which he could be sure For the war machine. But something happened Like fire burning through, Like voices calling Or old dreams coming true. That boy was nothing, A shadow in the wind, But now he IS He made a promise. He vowed to cure his soul. He cursed the Mother – Father – Leaders Of us all. So he was nothing; We are born that way, But you must change in life If only just to say – To Say - To Say I am. (I am.) (He made a promise. He vowed to cure his soul. He cursed the Mother – Father – Leaders Of us all.)

Larry this song is lyrically exceptional and the piano really creates a mood and the effect on the vocal really adds to the experimental nature of the track. Its kind of like "songs for drella" but a bit more mainstream. Some great production touches and I feel like you have now found your true sound and I for one think this is a great thing. Love the keyboard work, creates a great backdrop for the lyrical content.
