lyrics

A simple but loving man
Content with rod and reel in hand
Working his labour
Quick to help his neighbour
But far beyond his control
His life was taken on the road

And ever since she was a kid
Her life was carried on the wind
Betrayed by her father
Unworthy of another
And far beyond her control
Her life was taken on the road

So much of what they were building
Will burn up in the fire
But they held on through the willin’
They held on to the words of life

She was just a child of nine
When she started to decline
Taught to trade favours
With no one to save her
Now she can’t drown the memory
Keeps coming back in her sleep

So she learned to walk away
And chose to play it safe
Gain their acceptance
Dare not take a chance
But she can’t find her identity
To find her place back in the stream

Well I’ve got no rod and reel in hand
Next to the lake where I stand
I cast my bread on water
Live my life as fodder
To love all in my space
To live my life as grace

And I’ve worked hard my labour
To help my neighbour
But ever since I was a kid
My life’s been carried on the wind
Far beyond my control
Life will be taken down the road
