Notes: I dedicate this song to the victims of violence in the world, wherever they may live. I hope that one day, I'll never have to write a song like this.
The Memories are Mine -- Click Here to Listen
6/20/06
You may bomb the home where I was born
Burn the fields I left behind
You may raze my city down to dust
But the memories are mine
You may place your pistol at my back
Bind my hands with your twine
You may take the freedom from my feet
But my memories are mine
I'll be home wherever I may lie
Safe and sound inside my unlocked mind
I'll be home wherever I may lie
For the memories are mine
You may wash away my sacred sand
Erase my footprint from the line
You may lay my body down to die
But the memories are mine.
