Story Behind The Song
This is one of those songs that wrote itself, and I only channeled it. I think it always existed, I am just the one who heard it and wrote it down.
This song is in two films: Imperfections (Red Duck Pictures, 2007) and Sara's Choice (2010).
Song Description
Sometimes referred to as a song about the American Spirit, I prefer to think of it in a broader spectrum, to include all humans and their never-say-die tenacity. No matter how weak we or someone else might think we are, just let them give us some suffering and we will rise above it.

Lyrics
Hardnose, Hardnose
Are you ever gonna get where you're trying to go?
That boulder that you push, it moves so slow, moves so slow.
Hardnose, Hardnose,
will you ever really grasp the things that glow?
Will you ever really be in the know, like you want so?
CHORUS:
Well you told all the world just what you plan to do,
So you're killing yourself just to make it come true.
But if poets and prophets and presidents ever do run to you, what will you do?
Hardnose, Hardnose,
Will you ever find that pearl in that hidden cove?
The water looks so cold
For all the times you dove,
The times you dove.
CHORUS
