Ghosts - Trevor Hall

I remember back, back in the day

When the sunshine smiled as the children played, I say

I remember when it was so pure

Hearing melodies through the bedroom door

Making beats in the basement

Tasting all the magic harmonies and flows that we were chasing

Turning fantasies into realities

Oh we were lost in dreams

We had all the keys

And now it seems we can’t pick the lock

Kind of like a flat line, I need a shock

What’s behind the door

Are we too scared to knock

Did you pull the trigger

Did you hear the gunshot

Will we ever ever rise above

Will we ever follow through in this path called love

Oh Mama please take me back to my youth

Where I never ever had any holes in my parachute

Why do they make this pill so hard for us to swallow

Treating us as if we are ghosts, as if we’re only hollow

Oh yea but we sing today and we’ll sing through out tomorrow

Because our fire it burns, it burns up all your sorrow

Flip the tape deck, microphone check

Turn up the volume, how loud can we get

Show the man that we’re not going under

Never gonna sleep, never fall into a slumber

No matter what the poison is you feed

Any sickness oh we got a remedy

Don’t you know we are the roots that hold this tree

Feeding the branches and all of it’s leaves

Love and truth shall always prevail

Raise them high and we will set sail

No ocean to wide, No mountain to high

Our feet on the ground and our heads in the sky

Oh yea we are soldiers of the pure

Have you had enough

Do you want more

Read another chapter of this folklore

You never sang a song like this before
