lyrics

There's a sheen of soiled green over all my dreams
God it always seems I'm crawling upward, falling behind
Climbing mountains made of landmines

My elders say work hard each day
Nothing feels so great as putting food on plates
But earning this living wage feels like living in a cage
Am I just young and naive or courageous enough to dream?

There are no guarantees
There is no golden key
This is not safe and easy

Troubadors who have gone before
Weave their melodies and with grace and ease
But what stories should I tell when they’ve said it all so well?
Is this the voice of fear or reason that’s in my ear?

There are no guarantees
There is no golden key
This is not safe and easy
But I won’t run and hide
I won’t flee from this fight
I may lose but at least I tried
