Trust In TrustSet your sights on my corner of time I hear truth but I just speak the rhyme Fear knows no one if he hasn't met me I got to know him well and only now do I see You can run where you wanna run when you wanna hide You feel like you are driving but you just took a ride The truth shall set you free is what I hear them say And to my sweet surprise it does work out that way Blame yourself, blame the way you were raised And if you need to blame, you could blame your own rage Or you could trust yourself and trust others too And trust your trust in trust and then they'll trust you You can run where you wanna run when you wanna hide You feel like you are driving but you just took a ride The truth shall set you free is what I hear them say And to my sweet surprise it does work out that way A radical concept I know I'm laying down But try it just once and take one more look around I spoke not in haste till I said to my fear "One of us must go, and look, I'm still here" You can run where you wanna run when you wanna hide You feel like you are driving but you just took a ride The truth shall set you free is what I hear them say And to my sweet surprise it does work out that way And to my sweet surprise it does work out that way And to my sweet surprise Blues Traveler Index Regarding StevenWell I've guessed your name and I'm sure you know mine I'd like to discuss our mutual friend I can't help but feel that I left him behind Does he still stay with you or did his pain ever end I guess I don't deserve to know If he ever let go I guess I don't really need to see If he wound up with you or did he ever break free When we were both young, you took us in And taught us to play survival games He'd lost so much that you let him win But I had a home so it just wasn't the same I had the strength To look you in the eye And say goodbye I was lucky And I didn't have to play Does he still stay with you or did he get away I used what I had and I escaped I smelled something good and I followed its track But all he could smell was the world that you shaped It took all my strength and I just couldn't look back I remember him Calling after me I keep that memory The last thing he screamed out aloud Was "Hey don't you leave me alone!" Yeah he might live with you but he called me his home I guessed your name and some day so will he Cause one of these ides he's gonna break free Cause one of these ides he's gonna break free Cause one of these ides he's gonna break...

Blues Traveler Index The Poignant And Epic Saga Of Featherhead And Lucky LackI remember hearing a story About a girl who wanted to fly Something about dreams as fragile as bubbles Well perhaps it won't apply It seems she'd flap her arms every day and every night As hard and as long as she could She knew her dream needed all the love she could give it For it to do her any good One night her heart spoke in a dream It told her if you really love this believe, because It takes the guiltiest of eyes To condemn the man who dies It takes a thousand of his best spies To expose as many lies It could take weeks for me to say How it'll take forever to go away And it takes everything you have Everything to be in love Well across the street there lived a little boy Sad disfigured child with two humps on his back Pitiful autistic little mess in a wheelchair The other kids all named him Lack But Lack started to take an interest In that girl across the way He'd watch in amazement from his window While she flapped her arms And that's how they'd spend their days She'd soon inspire him to stand That girl everyone called Featherhead Made him clearly understand That It takes the guiltiest of eyes To condemn the man who dies It takes a thousand of his best spies To expose as many lies It could take weeks for me to say How it'll take forever to go away And it takes everything you have Everything to be in love Soon Lack could walk and talk and hide his humps And people realized how clever he could be Feather still dreaming about the skies Unaware of how in love Lack was with she One day she quit flapping her arms at last Convinced that she'd accomplished nothing at all When Lack heard this he ran, not walked to her house And he begged her, yes he begged her not to let Rome fall He said "Everything I am now is for and because of you You see I understand your secret and I swear to God it's all true" It takes the guiltiest of eyes To condemn the man who dies It takes a thousand of his best spies To finally realize That it takes the strength of Samson's hair To enter if you dare And it takes Icarus in flight To provoke the gods to fight It could take weeks for me to say And it'll take forever to go away And it takes everything you have Everything to be in love Well time wears on, and soon Featherhead and Lack had to grow up Featherhead didn't quit and would be finishing flight school soon She works for NASA exploring space Flying regularly to Jupiter's seventh moon Lack defying all laws of gravity and otherwise flew away You see those humps on his back grew into great big gossamer wings He changed his name to Luck because he had so much He still flies where he's needed, doing all sorts of nifty and amazing things From time to time they meet up in the sky to celebrate Tax dollars and miracles can let the weirdest people date It takes the guiltiest of eyes To condemn the man who dies It takes a thousand of his best spies To expose as many lies It could take weeks for me to say How it'll take forever to go away And it takes everything you have Everything to be in love I remember hearing a story...
