lyrics

They say freedom is in the mind
Well we lose our freedom when we get too scared to fight
One step forward is another step farther behind

Hardly nothing can make me cry
But when I saw history repeat I wiped my eyes
One step forward is another step farther behind

You see I go out on the corner and bare my soul
Play my guitar strings until my fingers swill
I don't make much money and they treat me mean
But I know that this creation keeps my heart beating

We lose this music when we fall for the dollar signs
One step forward is another step farther behind

[solo]

You see I grab pen and paper and bare my soul
Expose my tender heart for the world to know
It ain't about the money or the popularity
It's the healing and the love and the connectivity

We lose this music when we fall for the dollar signs
One step forward is another step farther behind
What I say
One step forward is another step farther behind
And I'll keep playing 'til the sun goes down on my life.
