Tell me that I am His child
But I feel nothing like my Father
I am petulant and wild
Years away now from that altar
But am I willing
Or am I Abel
Or am I Cain, Just more careful
Am I building
A house that's stable
Am I willing
Am I willing
Once the spirit spoke to me
Whirling 'round an apple tree
Said if you don't look you'll never see
You won't ever see your Father
So I climbed the highest limb
Said I want an introduction
Then the spirit spoke again
Siad I decide the where and when
But am I willing
Or am I Abel
Or am I Cain, Just more careful
Am I building
A house that's stable
Am I willing
Am I willing
I have shaken hands with death
But I am nothing like my Father
I waver to the right and left
No I'm nothing like my Father

The Morning

This is the morning
It's a brand new day
The world began turning
With the sun's first ray
Your stone is rolling away
This is the morning
It's a brand new chance
This is the shoreline
It's a foot on land
Your stone is rolling away
You can live among the dead
Or you can die among the living
All around your sleepy head
Hear the revolution ring
This is the morning
It's a brand new day
It's a penny shining
Don't toss it away

Rolling Down

I don't need your whiskey
And I don't need your rum
I don't need your whiskey
And I don't need your rum
All I need is my baby
When the summer time comes
She makes my love
come rolling down
There's a warm wind a'blowing
And it's blowing from the south
There's a warm wind a'blowing
And it's blowing from the south
Like the sweet words flowing
From my baby's mouth
She makes my love
come rolling down
Now look away over yonder
Don't you see that eagle rise
Now look away over yonder
Don't you see that eagle rise
You know I love my sweet baby
Just like he loves the sky

Look Away

You plucked me out of the sand somewhere
Like a flower for your hair
You held me high and danced around
A reel upon the frozen ground
Look away my love
Look away and sigh
Look away my love
See the hazy sky
Ain't it like your eyes
The morning came in like a liar
So we thought it safe to snuff the fire
But that morning comes and so it goes
Like Autumn leaves you with the snow
Look away my love
Look away and sigh
Look away my love
See the hazy sky
Ain't it like your eyes
Well I wish I was a hickory tree
I'd cover this ground in yellow leaves
Plant some roots in fertile soil
Never more to toil
Look away my love
Look away and sigh
Look away my love
See the hazy sky
Ain't it like your eyes
