This song is my attempt to process the wrenching incident that took place in my hometown on Memorial Day.  My hope is that real change will come from George Floyd’s murder though 2020 is seeming eerily similar to 1968.  
Tech note:  the jet plane heard in the recording was not intentional, just bad timing.  ***Updated with live drum kit 3/26/2023.***

Close your eyes
Til you can see it
look inside
Til you believe it 

A weight is upon us now
Digging itself a hole...
When it seems it’s beyond us now
It’s time to take control..

Free your soul
Til it confounds you
Take the time...
As it surrounds you

I see you lying there
Reaching for your last breath
Your future is dyin there
While the whole nation wept

A city cries
Beneath the skies
We gotta try 
To get it right...
