"We held each other tight 
And laughed at life's cold gaze 
And whispered to the night, 'All will be well' 
Together we can make this darkness bright"...

Grateful as always to the many matchless musicians that helped me out with this one: 
Lydia Salnikova (vocals); 
Nicolás Ojeda (bass); 
Erik Holmbom (guitars); 
Nightsongs studio brass (horn sect / tpt solo)
and many more…

Once again - so grateful to Andy Walter (Abbey Road Studios) for adding his mastering magic to this one.

Finally, big thanks to that finely tuned and razor eared little band of co-conspirators at Mohan family HQ who still support me all the way, keep me on the straight and narrow and really do make it all happen. Joint Enterprise!

Been a bit since I dove into IPG1's prolific catalogue of rip roarin rap rock rockers.  A friend of mine, MJ-Brewer, wrote and played the bass on this.  Enjoy!

Lyrics:
I don’t need no jealousy —-no secrecy no bigotry
life is still an odyssey—-a parody —-pure irony
what will be my legacy—-humility and harmony
history leaves a path to see—-land currency and slavery
leaders with no decency—-no empathy not trustworthy
life is never duty free —-there really —-is no certainty
Is voters rights reality —-or just another fantasy
poverty’s the enemy ——revise the current policy

Let’s Pool our talents together ——and move forward in a big way
the difference between giant steps and ———-Child’s play
night and day —-the price we pay
it’s gotta be—-what the people want —-not what the politicians says
—-I’m not a biblical man—-a man of principle—-I am
I believe in good and evil —and that energy is divine
Is it a chance or a miracle ——of being who I am ———
who’ll guide and protect you
Too many gods to kneel to ——
So many beliefs to cling to——what’s true?
who do you have to save you
Is the miracle within you —-clever but ————truth——-ful
God work is never done —-we’re never in ———-ne——utral
These are life’s lesson————enter the teacher ———exit the pupil

take my blessings when I can———-my lessons——- from who I am
This divine spark of energy ———is it chaos——or life‘s plan
Is faith—the path ——or journey—-taken by anyone who can
no good or evil theory just the fact that I am is all I need to guide me
————no spoken word or prophecy
The challenge ——just to stay free—- victory over enemies
The past is all history—wars—-brutality—- blasphemy
the suffering —-the agony—-the cruelty—-the tragedy

Chorus

I don’t need no jealousy —-no secrecy no bigotry
life is still an odyssey—-a parody —-pure irony
what will be my legacy—-humility and harmony
history leaves a path to see—-land currency and slavery
leaders with no decency—-no empathy not trustworthy
life is never duty free —-there really is no certainty
Is voters rights reality —-or just another fantasy
poverty’s the enemy ——revise the current policy
