In the sun
Where you stood when you were young
It was simple to be true.
But that day has come and gone
And the setting of the sun
Casts a shadow over you.

Darkness is gathering around you
Foundations tremble at your feet.
All those demons that surround you
Cloak their intentions very well and drum the beat
And the red runs into blue,
As you struggle to find just enough light to see.

How could it be
With the promise of the free
You could lose your way so fast?
Opportunity and grace
Stare you squarely in the face
In a kingdom damned but vast.

Darkness is gathering around you
The tide is rising ‘round your feet
Every night you dream they have crowned you
But every morning brings more bitterness than sweet.
And the forecast is deep blue,
On a day that leaves you just enough light to see.

Is it true
That they cast a spell on you?
That your mind is not your own?
The future in your hands
And you toss it in the sand
With piles of broken bones.

Darkness is gathering around you
Foundations tremble at your feet.
The Sons of Freedom all around you
Take Mother Liberty; drag her screaming through the street
But she rises, black and blue,
In a dawn that brings us just enough light to see.

She will rise, black and blue
In a dawn that brings us just enough light to see.

Ben Hunsberger Bowdoinham

layer fresh melodies with full-bodied undertones.
fold in a little nature and politics.
season with angst, humor, and a pinch of sarcasm.
serve with plenty of volume.
