New version of song written in December 2022. Recorded on phone, played on 12 string

I won't say that wrong is right
Won't pretend that it's alright
I won't say it
Won't say right is wrong
I won't play along
I just tried to make it easy
Self-betrayal c'est la vie
I won't say it
Now those days are gone
I won't play along
I'm running out of time
I know that I've been wrong
The true light
Will guide me along
I won't say it
Won't say right is wrong
I won't play along
I won't say that wrong is right 
Say what you want 
I won't backbite
I won't say it
Now those days are gone 
Won't say wrong is right
I'll follow the light
Won't say right is wrong 
I won't play 
Won't play along
'Cause I'm running out of time
I know that I've been wrong
The true light
Will guide me along
I'm running out of time
I know that I've been wrong
The true light
Will guide me along
Will guide me along
Will guide me along
I won't play along


I Won't Play Along

Lyrics:

Wrested with enigma of time
Shadows on the wall from the fire behind
Shapes and detail, circles and lines

I've always wondered what could it be
release these shackles, set me free

Thousands of years we thought we knew
We were sure that it all must be true
Silhouettes of monsters and God
Before my eyes, you can see it to.

There must be more than life beholds
Once in a while I feel that breeze that's cold
If I could only turn around
If I could only turn around
If I could only turn around

And then that fateful day came
All the elders thought I was insane
Turning around for the first time

Thousands of years of myths and lies
Leaving the cave I almost died
On my knees, in my hands, I cried
On my knees, in my hands, I cried

Wrested with the enigma of time
Shadows on the wall from the fire behind
Shapes and detail, circles and lines

The Allegory Of The Cave

Indecision

Merry Christmas or Happy Holiday of your choice(s)!! Most of what few holiday songs I have done, I have put an unexpected twist in the middle. For example, Valentines day I did an ambient candy outer shell with a chewy jazzy center. Or last Christmas, I did a song called Bipolar Charlie (Brown) which took a happy Peanuts song and made it dark in the middle in an unexpected turn of events. Here's this holiday's take with a twist on the old classic; "Oh Christmas Tree". 

Hope you enjoy!

Oh Christmas Tree (with a surprise in the middle)

Verse 1
Another dawn
Another song
Another way
To carry on

Another smile
Another cheer
Another gentle word
For all to hear

Chorus
And every moment shines
Brighter than the day that came before
The little things in life that turn the world
Are the treasures that’s worth searching for

Verse 2
Another friend
Another hand
Another faithful ear
To understand

Another hope
Another light
Another chance to dream
Through every night

Chorus
And every moment shines
Brighter than the day that came before
The little things in life that turn the world
Are the treasures that’s worth searching for

Carry On…

Outro
Another step
Another mile
Another story told
To make me smile

Every Moment Shines
