Crazy About You

Cain Walker - I Don't Care

Now abides faith, hope and love but the greatest of these is love!

The Greatest of These Is Love

Jingle bells are a ringin'
Carollers are singin' (fa la la la)
Been doin' a lotta thinkin'
Bout' YouTube n Linked In

Folks have a lotta interest
On Gab and on Pinterest
They seem to like Hip Hop
On SnapChat and Tik Tok

Big Tech is up to it's neck
Been cuttin' big checks
To left wing dilinquents
Can I get a witness?

Been callin' the shots -- from the shadows
Have we plumb lost -- the battle?
They treat us like sheep -- or cattle...
We're up a creek -- without a paddle!

We need to lay down our weapons
And declare a truce
We need to learn our lesson
And get back to our roots

It won't be as odd as it seems
Our cause may be pickin' up steam
We need to turn off our screens
And turn on--turn on our dreams
(turn on our dreams)

Turn on Our Dreams

I see you every morning
Standin' by your locker door
Class is drab and boring
I feel awkward and ignored

I practice what to say
But words just disappear
You walk right by me
Like I'm not even here

All these feelings that I harbor
Are a secret I can't share
Wonder if you'd even notice
If I shaved off all my hair

All the words I never said
In my heart and my head
My cries you never heard
Never heard a single word

In my heart you were my guy
And I was your only girl
But as far as you knew
It was a hard and lonely world

Years raced by -- we took completely, separate roads
Tried to tuck away these feelings, but they've only grown
Life took me far away, from everything I thought I knew
But I still wondered what became, what became of me and you

All these memories I'm keepin'
Like photos that have faded
Wonder if you ever think of
All the chances that we wasted

All the words I never said
In my heart and my head
My cries you never heard
Never heard a single word

In my heart you were my guy
And I was your only girl
But as far as you're concerned
It was a hard and lonely world

Then one day at the old coffee shop downtown
A familiar voice spun my whole world around
You were standin' there, waiting in line
We grabbed a chair, and lost track of time

I finally revealed
How I felt and still feel
What once was a fantasy
Has now become real

All the words I never said
In my heart and my head
My cries you never heard
You finally understood

Now you're my only guy
And I'm your only girl
Now it's not such a hard
A hard and lonely world

These feelings aren't bogus
No more a secret I can't share
I'm pretty sure you'd notice
If I shaved off all my hair

Now you're my only guy
And I'm your only girl
Now it's not such a hard
A hard and lonely world

A Hard and Lonely World

Unstoppable

Both My Child

Happy Hardcore track inspired by my twin daughters...

Still Sisters

Never been to art school
But I can draw the wrong conclusion
Now I'm sittin' on this barstool
Tryin' to find absolution

Lookin' for forgiveness
In the strangest places
Lookin' for deliverance
From strangers that are nameless

I strike up a conversation
With a sad, unhappy soul
Six degrees of separation
From a man that's on the dole

We have a lot more in common
Than you might ever know
Don't need a priest or shaman
to circumcise my soul

I need to pay my tab
And walk out that door
My future's up for grabs
I feel it deep in my core...

Still believe in the golden rule
Gotta pretty sticky situation
Feel like a silly old fool
Tryin' to find some kind of salvation

Lookin' for a way of escape
From this mixed up maze
Lookin' for forgiveness
For healin' and grace

I strike up a conversation
With a sad, unhappy soul
Six degrees of separation
From a man that's on parole

We have a lot more in common
Than you might ever know
Don't need a priest or shaman
to circumcise my soul

I need to pay my tab
And walk out that door
I need to catch a cab
They're moppin' up the floor

All these memories I'm makin'
Like photos that have faded
Leave me alone and naked

I strike up a conversation
With a sad, unhappy soul
Six degrees of separation
From a cabby with a heart of gold

We have a lot more in common
Than you might ever know
Don't need a priest or shaman
To circumcise my soul

I need to pay my tab
And walk out that door
Left my white coat in the lab
Tossed my doubts on the floor

Never been to art school
But I can draw the wrong conclusion
Now I'm sittin' on this barstool
Tryin' to find absolution

I strike up a conversation
With the One who's in control
Six degrees of separation
From revolution and revolt 

Six Degrees of Separation

I wake up rumpled and unshaven
But I'm humbled and I'm thankful
For the beauty of Your creation
That's so serene and tranquil

I smell the eggs and bacon
Slip on my robe n sandals
Sit down at the table
Brain n eggs are scrambled

We pray and pause before we eat
And thank God for our daily bread
For the sound of little running feet
And for the roof above our heads

Thank You for Your provision
For our family and our friends
We ask You for forgiveness
God help us to make amends

We were lost and blind
You bore our shame
We wanna take this time
To praise Your name

We were imprisoned
Needin' forgiveness
We spoke Your name
You broke our chains


Thank You for Your provision

We were imprisoned
Needin' forgiveness
We spoke Your name
You broke our chains

We need Your wisdom
We were imprisoned
Needin' forgiveness
You died n are risen

You bore our shame
We spoke Your name
You broke our chains
You broke our chains

You bore our shame
We spoke Your name
You broke our chains

We were lost and blind
You bore our shame
We wanna take this time
To praise Your name

We were imprisoned
Needin' forgiveness
We spoke Your name
You broke our chains
