Little Tear in the Heartland

This song started out as a song about Ukraine.  I felt self-conscious writing about other peoples’ suffering at that moment. I was also mixing in things from my own life. I am from Iowa, and “the heartland” means something to me as well.


I used to stick out my thumb 
To passing strangers
I drove them home 
While they slept

Now I gather up wood
A fence I helped to  tear down
I built a fire
To add to the starry sky

Little tear in the heartland
Keeper of memories
I thought I could do it
Believing I used to believe
 
Two chairs looking out the window
A table in-between
Two hands on the wheel
And I ain't letting go

When you need me round
I will drive you home
Pass another day another sun.  
When  we fall asleep
Some things are never changing
When  we fall asleep
Some things are just a dream

I was in the backseat
A childhood friend was singing
The radio was playing
My father drove the car

We drove through the country
Amber grains were waving
There was no war
No suffering

Yea, we drove through the country
Amber grains were waving
There was no war
No suffering

Little tears in the heartland
Keeper of memories
I thought I could do it
Believing I used to believe

Little Tear In The Heartland

This track is about the battles we all have within ourselves. When it seems like our head is against us.

There You Go Again

If I saw a day that made me think of you.
It would be in May when the flowers bloom.
And the birds would sing a love song for the ages,
And I would hum along as they sang.

If I had a dream that could somehow describe
What you meant to me, how you made me feel inside.
That dream would doubtlessly be taking place in springtime.
And I would play along on guitar.

If I played a game that somehow captured you
The challenges explained in describing you.
Would it connect the dots or fill in all the blanks?
Would I play the game, or it play me?

If I wrote a song, is there any way
I could get it wrong and the music would not play?
Should I even try - or will my efforts make me realize
How it would feel if I loved you.

If I Loved You

But the one who stands firm to the end will be saved (Math. 24:13)

I salute you my brother
Fist on my heart
Pride in the other
Tear in my eye
For all that you gave
I stand for you

When life gave us a choice
You rose up tall
I still hear your voice!
Be true and be brave
In all that you do
I stand for you

I salute you my brother
Blood on their hands
Couldn't just watch them suffer
When no side can win
And the war takes another
Soul from this world

Fist on my heart
I salute you my brother
Pride in my eye
Pain in the other
For all that you gave
And all that you are
I'll stand for you 

With my fist on my heart

Fist On My Heart
