neil's birthday present
TRANSCRIPT
Happy Birthday, Neil!
the Radio man
the Radio is on
i never turn it off
i listen to it loud
and i listen to it soft
a song that fills my ears
at first had been just sounds
yet, with a guiding word
then, the instruments were found
the lead guitar for one
a bass making the bump
keep da beat with the drum
drop more cowbell for fun
the Radio is on
i never turn it off
i listen to it loud
and i listen to it soft
a preacher shares a word
from the God that he trusts
makes me fall, scars my knees
but stays to pick me up
the scars are to remind
that those who will walk blind
have left Truth far behind
and will pay a heavy fine
the Radio is on
i never turn it off
i listen to it loud
and i listen to it soft
a politician shares
his vision for the land
freedom for the people
says the libertarian
limit the government
and the big money spent
work to pay your own rent
put faith in the benevolent
the Radio is on
i never turn it off
i listen to it loud
and i listen to it soft
the signal now is lost
only the buzz remains
no music and no words
yet the station does not change
let me not underrate
value of silent space
bonding as two relate,
in a quiet and still place
…a gift time cannot erase
…a gift time cannot erase
the Radio is on
i never turn it off
i listen to it loud
and i listen to it soft
I love you, brudder!
Happy 26th Birthday!
