about

This song was written with examples of different times and aspects of our lives. Time is a present and of essence. Carpe diem - you never know what direction your life will take.

lyrics

I read the stone on the grave of Mary
It gave me shivers down the spine.
Though I know the wounds will heal
It's gonna take a long long time
a long long time - a long long time

I saw old Murphy play with his fingers
Like he did when he was kid
I saw his frontline change too past
Do we all give up like he did.
Just like he did - Just like he did.

Oh - Time of essence
Do you know what I mean
Oh - Time of essence

On the bed she laid so weary
She felt so close to her family
They all fought the days of cancer
Was it all meant to be
all meant to be - all meant to be.

Hear the children play on the main street
As the acid rain pouring down
Feel the vain upon their faces
They disappear without a sound
without a sound - without a sound.


Oh - Time of essence
Do you know what I mean
Oh - Time of essence


Another body found in the trenches
Slaughtered endlessly
Do you see the anger beneath my skin
Or are you to blind to see
to blind to see - to blind to see

I read the stone on the grave of Mary

His style is anything from easy listening to folk/blues/country. Almost all...

Described as a late bloomer, but music has no age limit. ... more
