Lyrics to a new song, I’ll put a recording up in a week or so.
Well I wish I was
The man I wished that I would be
When the world was fresh and new
When I was a boy
Tall enough to be a man
But not old enough to understand
The price a good man pays
The price a good man pays
And all the dreams that flew
All over the world
That was awakening
Were like a flag unfurled
Above bigotry and war
But the dream got sold
Like we forgot what we were fighting for
So now its money and fame
Just money and fame
And I wish I was
The man I wished that I would be
When the world was fresh and new
When I was a boy
Tall enough to be a man
But not wise enough to understand
The price a good man pays
The price a good man pays
Well the days go by
We all walk along this ancient road
As the wheel keeps turnin around
and around
When all is said and done
The most beautiful thing beneath the setting sun
Is the price a good man paid
For everyone
So I wish I was
The man I wished that I would be
When the world was fresh and new
When I was a boy
Strong enough to be a man
But not deep enough to understand
The price that a good man pays
The price that a good man pays
We will remember one of these days
The price a good man pays
