We wanted to finish our trio of songs, and our gift to our Soundcloud family, on a lovely and upbeat note of hope; hope for humanity, hope for the world we call home, and hope for our destiny as a human race.  The ultimate theme of Christmas is redemption and hope, and with that thought, we wish you all a very Merry Christmas:)

The Lost Path

Peter:
Stumbling down, falling from the path
Wondering what the future holds
Crumbling in the aftermath
The Easterlies bring winter’s cold
Pushing upwards, clamber back
We won’t concede to darkness clouds
Our trajectory is back on track
For a society with head held proud

David:
Won’t concede our children’s hopes
To nuclear weapon isotopes
Christmas calling from the bells
To drag us back from human hells
We won’t concede our freedom’s joy
By falling for the devil’s ploy
With a chain of hands across the land
We refute his vile demands

Seagull:
We lost our way in yesterdays
Seems we found the wilderness
But sanity will find a way
To build afresh and fix the mess
Reconstruct and laser cast
Shine the light with focused beam
Illumination clear at last
To reignite the human dream

Peter:
Won’t consign future’s child
To living in a world defiled
Christmas calling from the bells
Will reinforce what truth foretells
We won’t concede our freedom’s sun
But send despot evil on the run
A chain of hands, conviction wins
To lead us to the path again

Won’t concede to culture thieves
Who twist the truth that we believe
Our heritage is what we are
Leads us home when we stray too far
Returns us to the path we lost
Saves us suffering folly’s cost
Warms within, and strength imparts
To the burnished bonds of a Christmas family heart

The Lost Path (Peter, Seagull, David)

I am a finger-style guitarist living on the Texas high plains.  At the core of my music is melody that is inspired and informed by my Christian faith, family, friends, and countless influences through the years from the great composers, to jazz, folk, rock, Latin, Celtic, and the many fine musicians I have come to love on the Cloud, some I have been privileged to collaborate with.  Thanks for stopping by to have a listen. Comments are always welcome. Feel free to click on the picture of any track to learn more about it.
