Carry On

Bred to bend but never broke

Made to make a master stroke

Were the answer not a joke
Fate has called as I awoke

Found another torch to tote

Picked a shore and burned the boat

Gonna win that's all she wrote
Glories gain without a vote

Lifted hand to help another

Shining beacon for my brother
Shared the joy among each other

Fires lit no one can smother

Paving ways to understand

Giving all to give a hand

Leaving marks to heal the land
Playing hard to beat the band

Made the world my work of art

Reason clear from end to start

Love it all with all my heart
Fate and I not far apart

Lend yourself to one who tries

See what comes as no surprise
look with clear and wiser eyes

Others soon begin to rise

Born to carry on

Uncle Sam's Lament

Oh my country tis of thee

Why hast thou forsaken me

Working days become the night

A dying dollars final fight

Amber blowing wave of grain

Harvest met to others gain

Days of debt infect the masses

Bondage bankers gifted passes

Ceilings fail on our default

No more credit in the vault

Land of milk and honey gone

Nowhere clear for movin' on

Battle lost without a gun

Not too sure who really won

Economic heart disease

The IRS is now chinese

Bring it back oh president

At least attempt to make a dent

Next one up to take a swing

Time to earn the freedom ring

Spend no more by happenstance

Add some magic to the dance

Make a move both bold and brave

It's just my gold n soul you save

Oliver

Who would say of Ollie's day 

My eye's have seen enough

Of silly times and pantomimes

And giggles off the cuff

Eyes too light for shadow

As he wonders at the flies

Toothless grinning minnow

Like a god in all but size

Quick to sound and fury

When the winds won't blow his way

Model for an angel

When the sandman ends the day

Bounce and he is broken

Sing and he'll delight

Born a lovers token

Good night my boy good night
