times are a’changin’
spinning’ quick outta control
now who’s at the helm?
tell me please I gotta know
a real person or cruise control?

Treading roads travelled
Those well worn before our birth
Must we follow fate?
Turning from ancestral paths
Is the toughest choice we make.

Chronicle
Bound to turn again
History

life, love, liberty
freedoms granted us by birth

Times change as they will
Bard’s song, News cast, Town Crier
Times change not at all
Wars, famine, greed, lust, desire
Assassination, death, fire

Learning from the past
Looking toward the future
Hoping for the best

war, famine, and death
bringers of hatred, disease
corruptions of man

cometh the bard song
to bring news of man beyond
our shores to teach us
the ways for us not to go
the ways for us not to be

Lessons learned
all time flowing pass
less unlearned

A victory gained
loss sustained, heavy debt paid
lessons wrote in blood

sing, sing grandmother
telling stories past gone by
chant, chant, grandfather
of days before your young eyes
give us the wisdom of your
years – tell of the Trail of Tears
