Can't Get Enough

Oh I Know

Man comes from dust and the dust he will follow
An apple like that is hard to swallow
Man's much more than dust
He's iron and water
He passes them down 
to his son and daughter

An apple's much more than fruit that is free
Flies up from the soil then drops from the tree
Pleasure is found
in its meat and skin
a secret is held 
in the core deep within

A tree is much more than branches and roots
much more than the wood the man comes to loot
Lessons abound
among bark and limbs
memories so sweet 
for the child who climbs

A house is much more than wood under roof
A record of family's falsehoods and truth
Each room has its own
verse and refrain
a hymn to all joys
sorrows and pain

A family's much more than a collection of traits
A mystery shrouded by glances and gates
When huddled together
or shaken apart
each carries the story
deep in their heart

the mystery's more than we've ever known
much deeper than any religion has shown
the ones who go deeper
never take it for granted
They follow the tree
that grows where it's planted


Follow The Tree

Michael LaBo's Album

I'm Gonna Miss You

Mike LaBo writes original songs that sound familiar, simple but with a depth that sticks with you. Songs that grow with the listener. 


Mike’s passion for music began as a child. The youngest of five children, his earliest influences came from The Beatles, Otis Redding, Kingston Trio, Glenn Miller Orchestra, and Queen. The connections Mike made with music helped him journey beyond his suburban bedroom across the musical universe. His restless nights were eased by the comfort he found tuning the radio dial from oldies to rock to pop to classical until he finally fell gently asleep. 


Mike processes his various influences through the filter of American folk music. He is a husband, father, worker, and aspiring farmer, crafting songs that combine unassuming melodies with a poet’s voice. His songs are hymns to the human experience. He hopes they help folks feel less lonely.
