When The Seasons Change
When the leaves turn
And the world starts to burn
Vibrant colors of joy return
When the seasons change.
When the air cools
And our sadness pools
We whine like fools
When the seasons change.
Everyday is a miracle
And we can enjoy the spectacle
It is so magical
When the seasons change.
We can turn over a new leaf
We only have to hold our belief
And it can be such relief
When the seasons change.
With the first snow
Everything seems to slow
This too will go
When the seasons change.
When the love birds sing
And the world thaws to spring
We made it through everything
When the seasons change.
In The Early Morning Rain
Got the word today
My buddy passed away
Got the word today
In the early morning rain.
With poppies in the hand
Tears drench the sand
Another life for this land
In the early morning rain.
It feels hell is so near
I could die right here
I just can’t see clear
In the early morning rain.
The poppies grow now
I feel so alone now
The poppies grow now
In the early morning rain.
We were brothers to the end
Our friendship will never bend
Know, we will fight to the end
In the early morning rain.
Now my head hangs low
With the sorrow I show
Hard to let you go
In the early morning rain.
With poppies in my hand
In the early morning rain
Tears drench the land
In the early morning rain.
I raise my glass to you
You helped me get through
I raise my glass to you
In the early morning rain.
