"What happened to you" is the question I've been asked the most over the 64 years of my life, feels good to respond in this way. This is one of the first songs written for this current project.

Sitt'n on the corner
People ask'n what happened to you?
Yeah I'm Roll'n down the avenue
People ask'n what happened to you?
Everywhere I go everybody wanna know
What happened, what happened to you?

If you wanna hear my story,
Of the ashes and the glory,
You better sit down
I could tell you lies you wanna hear
Or confront you with your deepest fear
Right now

What happened?
Tell me what happened?
When people see what you survive
They can't believe you're still alive
Say what happened to you?

In the street the people pass'n
If they're cry'n or they're laugh'n
they'll be ask'n
What happened to you?

If you wanna feel the danger,
How child becomes a stranger
You better beware
Born bright as a shooting star
Then changed in to bleeding scar
Midair

What happened
Tell me what happened
When people see what you survive
They can't believe you're still alive
Say what happened?
What happened to you?

What Happened?

Wrestle with an Angel

I saw you wrestle with an angel
As I stood out on the porch
Two bodies tangled in a single star's light
I loved you very much
But I let you go
Didn't let you down
I've come to know 
The different sounds 
of the ones who fall
And the ones who fly
And the goodness 
in giving each their time

I listened for an echo
Walked down those wooden stairs
But all I heard was the wind blow
It whispered “Take us as we are”
So I let you go
Didn't let you down
I've come to know
The different sounds 
of the ones who fall
And the ones who fly
And the goodness 
in giving each their time

	Some creatures need a wider berth
	Than that which is given here on earth

I saw you wrestle with an angel
You disappeared beyond the trees
And then I saw that silver ladder
Oh, you were bound to leave
I let you go
Didn't let you down
I've come to know
The different sounds 
of the ones who fall
And the ones who fly
And the goodness 
in goodbye
