A Week In Pictures

Monday morning wake up out of luck The sun's come up Snow's in the sky and it's been that way for days Tuesday comes on slow Chinook wind pulls the frost from the road See a mother with a baby and she couldn't be more than fifteen But life can be funny I guess How you always felt like you got more from less What made you so scared now you wouldn't change a thing I've felt like that before Trying to open a window by another closed door Keep a fire in the heart While it's raining on the porch Wednesday a woman on the street is crying She says "can you help me mister? My mother just died" I need to get across town but I can't afford the ride She was reaching out for help with her heart in her throat The way you reach out to strangers when you've lost your hope And my heart broke but I didn't have a dime Thursday a man named Brewster stands On the side of the road with a bag in his hand He said "the people today; I just don't understand" "I've known them for years, I've helped raise their kids I've shared in their fears and I've covered their shifts It hurts me so; would you agree we've lost our way?" And I've felt like that in spades Smiling at strangers just to try to make a change Letting go of anger that I thought would always stay Friday comes on like a runaway train Saturday's like an old friend that won't stay Reminds me how much I love it at night when It rains Summer rain washes everything clean Redemption Redemption So I grow some more Take it down to my roots and let it flow through my core Redemption Revolution of the soul Redemption Revolution of the soul Sunday morning wake up The love of my life pulls the covers up This is how it feels on the first day of spring
