When I was your age, my mother
had to make each dollar last.
We had to grow up very fast...
Hope you don't grow up as fast as I did.

When my father was the age I am now
his shoulders hugged the ground.
He never got up to fight the next round.
Hope I don't have to fight the fixed fights he did.

Building you this pier 
to make things a little better for you.
If I run out of rocks then
well, you still got me—
I'll be your windbreaker.

When childhood ends, the storm begins,
I'll be your windbreaker.
When all your dreams seem lost at sea,
I'll be your windbreaker.

[break]

Now listen to the fine print, Princess.
Much as I'd love to be around,
most times you'll be on your own,
and we hope you remember some of the moves
we taught you.

And if you have children of your own,
you'll no doubt need this simple trick.
If you wanna be a good windbreaker,
you're gonna wanna let some of the wind
slip through.

Building you this pier 
to make things a little calmer for you.
If I run out of time then
well, you still got you—
you'll be your windbreaker.

When the storm begins, you'll need all your friends—
they'll be your windbreaker.
When it gets intense, better know your strengths—
you'll be your own windbreaker.

[instrumental break]

Long as I can, for as long as I can—
your windbreaker.
If you can call a friend, then call a friend—
they'll be your windbreaker.
If you know your strengths, then play your strengths—
they'll be your windbreaker.

And one day you might help carry the light—
be someone else's windbreaker.

Windbreaker

I don't know what you saying
Cause I've been in my own world
No time to speak right now
Cause I don't wanna break this
Creativity comes to those who seek it
Revelations speak out to the ones who speak it
And I've been seeking it for all my lifetime
Now I've found it so I've got to write rhyme

And In this world we need to show our love
Keep your mind lifted to the skies above
When darkness comes down
Don't fall to fear
When your heart is open, hoping
Jah is near
When your heart is open, hoping
Jah is near

So why you
Stepping up to me like that
Most people know I try to
Keep a humble mindset
When you walk up with
Heavy fist on my door step
I know what you want
Is to see me locked up
But I bend around that route
and I ain't going that way
What sense does it make to you
To keep a good man locked away

And in this world
We need to show our love
Keep your mind lifted to the skies above
When's darkness comes down
Don't fall to fear
When your heart is open, hoping
Jah is near
When your heart is open, hoping
Nah nah nah nah nah nah
Jah is near
Ohh
Jah is near

They say knowledge is power
But there is no power
Like generosity
So give to another
As if he was your brother
Let's feed all the hungry
Spread courage to the ranks
And give a little thanks
To the people fighting over seas
It's time to make a change
Not the promise of a change
F political policies
And we've got the science
If we put our minds behind
There could be no more disease
With this generation come a new generation
And it's up to us to teach
How to be leaders
In this world of creatures
Cause we all deserve to breathe
And if we taught them forgiveness
There would be less prisons
Cause we all deserve to be free
Oh ohh to be free

In this world we need to show our love
Keep your mind lifted to the
Skies above
When darkness comes down
Don't fall to fear
When your heart is open, hoping
Jah is near
When your heart is open, hoping
Nah nah nah nah nah nah Jah is near
Oh oh Jah is near

So why you stepping up to me like that

Jah Is Near

Lyrics

I just want to stay in your memory
It's all I want to trust not an enemy 
To forget my face cause we had to break
It hurts, but I know that we have to let

As I'm running through, running through 
This jungle I see faces 
I'm looking back at you, back at you
But you won't stop chasing

Don't make me look back no more
No rearview mirrors here 
I am a fool if I run through 
All is there real?
Yeah it is
Don't make me look back no more

I just want to stay in your memory
It's all I want to trust not an enemy 
To forget my face cause we had to break
It hurts, but I know that we have to let

Try to make me fall yeah
Don't make me look back no more
Try to make me fall yeah
Don't make me look back no more

I just want to stay in your memory
It's all I want to trust not an enemy 
To forget my face cause we had to break
It hurts, but I know that we have to let

Don't make me look back no more
No rearview mirrors here 
I am a fool if I run through 
All is there real?
Yeah it is
Don't make me look back no more

Try to make me fall yeah
Don't make me look back no more
Try to make me fall yeah
Don't make me look back no more

I'm Looking Back To You

I'm Looking Back to You

I Got You On My Mind

(This is dedicated to my Step-Dad and to his battle with dementia.  It’s a song about time, how things are constantly changing, and yet, when you look in the mirror, there you are, and yet the decay, the age, mistakes and wisdom, one can hope, at the end of the day, no matter what has been had, what has been lost, you will have at least one thing, even if just a hand full, of beautiful memories…of people, pain, loss, love, hope, and everything in between.  Yet, for some, the curse is to look in the mirror and have nothing, to have lost it all, that sense of fear, grief, and frustration..  my step dad lost everyone in the end.  There were only two people he recognized.  My Mom and I - a blessing I will always be grateful to have had).  He was a beautiful man and this song, in all the irony of the lyrics, is for him.  

Verse
Was a time, a time to play, time to pray
All that time, what a waste, what a pity, oh fool, shake my walls, blow me down.

Just a face, unaware, just another day.
Just a phase, all we had, it’s a crime
oh pity, oh fool, mind your head when you fall 

Chorus 
But oh, one thing keeps coming back
I got you on my mind

Verse
In the dark, in the back, what a way to live, you a dance I could never forget, oh pity oh fool, tell me who I see now so

Like a dream, but nightmares are dreams too, in my head, but my mind I stilI find you, oh pity, oh fool, take my hand lead me out 

Chorus
But oh, one thing keeps coming back
I got you on my mind

Not a game, never same, we all fade away, but these tricks, it’s so hard to find you, oh pity oh fool, seems all is lost now

In the end, through the tears and the madness, find a smile as you echo among us, oh pity of fool, are you here with me now.  

Chorus 
But oh, one thing keeps coming back
I got you on my mind
