Repossessed lyrics

If you're looking for a fighter who'll defend you
And love you for your Freedom. I'm your man.
And I ain't gonna leave you for the crazy things you're doing
But don't ask me to lend a helping hand.

You were such a pretty dream as I remember
You were young and strong and God was on your side.
But vision slowly faded like the wonder from your eyes

They call him a bandit
And you know the notches
That he ought to wear on his gun

He sees you through eyes
He's partially blinded
>From staring to long at the sun

But he's true to his school
And he's nobody's fool
And he's lucky to still be alive

The wolf pack will die
When it's scattered by man
Lonesome Coyotes survive.

He burried his feelings
And life was a mountain

You gotta make your own rules, child
You gotta break your own chains
The dreams that possess you
Can blossom and bless you
Or run you insane

The moment is yours now
To lay on the line
The past just don't matter
Tomorrow won't mind

Lay down beside me
Show me a sign
Let me feel your spirit
Running with mine

I don't deserve you
I'm just a man
But I swear I'll love you

Deep in the heart of the infinite darkness
A tiny blue marble is spinning through space
Born in the splendor of God's holy vision
And sliding away like a tear down his face

Closer you see the whole wide holy wonder
Of oceans and mountains and rivers and trees
And the strangest creation of many, the human
A creature of laughter and Freedom and dreams

If I look like a mean old man that's what I am
If I look like a mean old man that's what I am
If I look like a mean old man
Who'll do you any way he can
To break your heart and kiss your hand
That's what I am

And if I look like a good old friend that's what I am
If I look like a good old friend that's what I am
If I look like a good old friend
Who's good at bending with the wind

My Daddy was a charmer, boys, he had a lot of style
He was shining best at everything he did
They said that he could lighten up a room with just a smile
And I was proud as hell to be his kid

It seemed like just as we were growing close together he was gone
But it was long enough to show what I could be
And I sometimes feel his spirit fill my body like a song

There was a man named Mahatma Ghandi
He would not bow down, he would not fight
He knew the deal was down and dirty
And nothing wrong could make it right away

But he knew his duty, and the price he had to pay
Just another holy man who tried to make a stand
MY GOD, THEY KILLED HIM !

Another man from Atlanta, Georgia
By the name of Martin Luther King

Look at that old photograph
Is it really you
Smiling like a baby full of dreams

Smiling ain't so easy now
Some are coming true
Nothing's simple as it seems

But I guess you count your blessings with the problems
That you're dealing with today
Like the changing of the seasons

Chorus:
Ain't you come a long way
Ain't you come a long way
Ain't you come a long way down
This old road

I seen another soldier who got wasted in the war
He said he left his soul there overseas
The notion he defended doesn't matter anymore
And circumstance had brought him to his knees

We sat there in the silence of a cold and empty room
Down the Hall I heard a baby cry
He looked up from the potion he was cooking in a spoon
And nailed me with the anger in his eye

Chorus:

You gotta make your own rules, child
You gotta break your own chains
The dreams that possess you
Can blossom and bless you
Or run you insane

The moment is yours now
To lay on the line
The past just don’t matter
Tomorrow won’t mind

Lay down beside me
Show me a sign
Let me feel your spirit
Running with mine

I don’t deserve you
I’m just a man
