Life is the ultimate mystery. It has no purpose until we create one.
Hank Love Sep 2020
Do I really want to fully figure out
What life is all about?

Not really. Why?

It would take away the rest of the mystery.

If I figured out what I want to do in life,

I wouldn't have time to make new dreams.

Why should brotherhood divide,
As a tree from lightning, strikes?
A break of dawn, a thrash of wave
And love to our fellow man
We so boldly gave.

Why should brotherhood divide,
Will a man with you for a mile, stride?
Through the blazing heat, through the bracing cold
Should the love for man grow old?

Why should brotherhood divide,
Taking oaths, and choosing sides?
Both the old and new, the many the few
Even death will have it's due


Tis the flash of light, the blink of an eye
From mans first breath, to where he lies
Why oh why should brotherhood divide?

I'm born in the wrong generation
And I'm fine with that.
While others are
Keeping up with the Kardashians
I'm busy keeping up with the Jones'.
While others are
Listening to the new album
I'm listening to music
From a jukebox inside my mind.
I remember the 50s well,
Even though I was born forty years later.
I remember watching Jailhouse Rock
At the Drive in, inside of my living room.
The day the music died
I sat at home and cried.
There is an instant running of
"Let's Make A Deal," going on
Inside of my head.
And I can almost hear Dean Martin
Roasting Don Rickles.
Around this time, **** Van ****
Is tripping over furniture,
While Ricky is coming home to Lucy.
Or was it all just a dream that I had?

Two men were drafted for war.
One turned to the other and said,
"I find it odd that we leave our own family
To keep each other's families safe."

The man turned to him and said,
"I'll make a deal with you.
If you fight to protect my family,
Then I will die protecting yours."

Do not follow where you were meant to lead. The blind cannot lead the deaf.

I hear people saying
That we should let it go
Its in the past
It doesn't matter anymore

They don't understand the reason
They'll never know why
How it felt that day
To see our people die

Well the bible says
An eye is for an eye
So before you judge me
Listen to the other side

What about the towers
How it felt to watch them fall
What about the heroes
Who had to take that call
What about our children
Hiding underneath their desks
And all their mothers stuck at home
Man it had them scared to death
Don't you tell me
That we're just a bunch of cowards
What about the towers

Its been two decades
But still it makes me mad
To think of all those workers
And the life they couldve had

It was on every channel
And every radio
They told us to duck and cover
Some never had a place to go

Yeah the bible tells us
A tooth is for a tooth
Well after all that happened
Id have to say that is the truth

What about the towers
How it felt to watch them fall
What about the heroes
Who had to take that call
What about our children
Hiding underneath their desks
And all their mothers stuck at home
Man it had them scared to death
Don't you tell me
That we're just a bunch of cowards
What about the towers
