Uncle John's Band: A Musical Odyssey Through Life's Choices
Lyrics
Well the first days are hardest days
Initial phases or beginnings are the most challenging
Don't you worry any more
Don't worry anymore
Cause when life looks like easy street
When life seems easy, there's hidden danger
There is danger at the door
There's a threat lurking nearby
Think this thought of me, let me know your mind
Consider this idea of mine, share your thoughts
Oh oh all I want to know is-are you kind
All I want to know is if you are compassionate or generous
It's a buck dancer choice my friend
Decisions are up to the individual
You better take my advice
It's advisable to heed my suggestion
You know all the rules by now
You're familiar with the established guidelines
And the fire from the ice
Understanding the difference between good and bad
Will you come with me, won't you come with me
Will you accompany me? I'm seeking your company
Oh oh all I want to know, will you come with me
All I want to know is, will you join me?
God Damn I declare have you seen like
An expression of surprise or emphasis
Their walls are built like cannon balls
Their defenses are strong and impenetrable
Their motto is Don't tread on me
Their principle is to defend themselves
Come hear Uncle John's band playing-to the tide
Come listen to Uncle John's band playing near the ocean
Come along or go alone
Join the gathering or go by yourself
He's come to take his children home
He has arrived to guide his loved ones back
It's the same story that the crow told me
Recounting a familiar story
It's the only one he knows
It's the only story the crow knows
Like the morning sun you come and like the wind you go
Comparing someone's transient presence to the sun and wind
Ain't no time to hate barely time to wait
No time for negativity, almost no time to delay
Oh oh-all I want to know is where does the time go
All I want to know is where time passes
I live in the a silver mine and I call it Beggar's tomb
Metaphorically residing in a place of scarcity and calling it something grand
I've got me a violin and I beg you call the tune
I possess an instrument and request your guidance
Anybody's choice, I can hear your voice
Everyone has a choice, and I'm attentive to your input
Oh oh all I want to know how does the song go
All I want to know is the melody of the song
Come hear Uncle John's band by thriver side
Come listen to Uncle John's band near the riverbank
Got some thing's to talk about
There are things to discuss
Here beside the rising tide
Close to the increasing waters
Come here Uncle John's band playing-to the tide
Listen to Uncle John's band playing near the ocean
Come on along or go alone
Join the gathering or go by yourself
He's come to take his children home
He has come to guide his loved ones back home
