O' Columbus (I Thank You)
My friend Eric Ayotte sang a song that convicted my heart and changed my perspectives you can check it out here: http://www.myspace.com/killerbunnyhop. It's called Father Nurture.
He sang this powerful song at a show in Columbus, Ohio. I wrote this song ironcally on Columbus Day but it's very much my response to the show w/Eric and Ghost Mice and the changes they brought about it my life. Thank you so much!
O' Columbus
6 months into 5 months on the road and I'm scared to go home
5 days into this burnt out week and I’m scared to go home
Still I must give credit where credit is due
(must give credit where credit is due)
O’ Columbus I thank you
Yes you sang the words that cut straight to heart
Enlighting my worst parts
Still I must give credit where credit is due
(must give credit where credit is due)
O’ Columbus I thank you
So I’m burning the books like I’m burning the lies
And I’m burning the fact that I was despised
Yes in fear I held your hand,
and I hope you understand
That I’m scared, I'm scared, I'm scared!
6 months into 5 months on the road and i'm scared to stay home
5 days into this burnt out week and I’m scared to stay home
Still I must give credit where credit is due
(must give credit where credit is due)
O’ Columbus I THANKS YOU! (x2)
