Meet me down by the river And we can waste some time Feelin' fine We'll forget about what's due Just think about me and you Feelin' fine 'Cause we'll be gone, gone, gone Gone, gone, gone before too long Andy will bring his bass And you'll bring your guitar and play For the rest of the day We'll play our favorite songs And everyone will sing along All night long 'Cause we'll be gone, gone, gone Gone, gone, gone before too long When I listen to the wind She tells her story again That I'm not free She says get down off that train And be with me again Be with me And when the sun goes down You will look around And catch my eye We'll look up at the stars In the pitch black sky And wonder why We'll be gone, gone, gone Gone, gone, gone before too long We'll be gone, gone, gone You know we'll be gone, gone, gone before too long

We‟re creatures of form and habit. We don‟t like change, not of the things we love. Some trust in science, some believe in the divine above. From sea to shining sea. From sea to shining sea. For some the flag is faded like a childhood fantasy. We don‟t believe that war will bring what‟s due us. For some the cells of being cry out in identity With the waving of the red, white and blue. With the waving of the red, white and blue. Oh beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain. For purple mountain majesty, above the fruited plain. America, America, may the Goddess shed her grace on us. From sea to shining sea. From sea to shining sea. And now a great divide has split the country in a jagged line, Sacred truths turn to slanted lies. But we all want the freedom, to pursue life and happiness In the twinkle of an eye. In the twinkle of an eye. It seems we have forgotten our own people came to this shore Trying to build their new lives here. The new wave has strained us, it‟s happening so fast We turn away our hearts in fear. We turn away our hearts in fear. And crown thy good with sister and brotherhood. From sea to shining sea. From sea to shining sea.

When the sun goes down and shadows fall like a slow relentless rain And ghosts all come to stand and wait outside my window pane, When living‟s just a choice between a hard place and a rock, In your arms I find my shelter from the ticking of the clock. So hold on to me, love. Hold on to me. When the night is long, love, hold on to me. When your life careens like a runaway truck down a midnight mountain road, And your lights are dim, your brakes are gone with a heavy, shifting load, When the warmth of town seems so far away that you're lost and all alone, I'll be there to take the wheel and bring you safely home. So hold on to me, love. Hold on to me. When the night is long, love, hold on to me. So take my hand as the sun comes up, we'll praise this newborn day. Our bags are packed, our ticket's punched for this trip that's just one way. But if you're by my side, then I won't care, though we journey far, For if home is where the heart is, I'll be home anywhere you are. So hold on to me, love. Hold on to me. When the night is long, love, hold on to me. When the fire burns low, love, hold on to me.
