Story Behind The Song
The song is about getting to a point in life, looking back and wondering if you could have done it differently. Is it too late to change or are you going to have to live with un-changed mistakes?
Song Description
The acoustic guitar draws you in immediately and then the classic Bryan Adams-ish breaks keep the listener moving. From the "Aqualung"- ish megaphone address to someone jumping off the ledge into the raw guitar solo. Tower of Power horn riffs add a real bite. There is never a dull moment.

Lyrics
Hey You
Words and music c 2004 by
Robert B. Dimick & Theresa M. Dimick
Hey you- you with the long dark hair strutting without a care
Do you think that God has got a plan for you a burden weighing on the truth
And you- this is your wake up call hurry before you fall
Reserve your seat and join us on the omnibus on a course of animus
Can you feel it- like I do- what you reveal in everything you say and everything you do hey you
Hey you- you with the short dark hair strolling in deep despair
Well you know that plan?s still there awaiting you nullifying all you do
And you- if this is your final fate you cannot procrastinate
Everyone assumes a mission in a life full of passion full of strife
Can you feel it- me too- what you reveal in everything you say and everything you do hey you
What will it be what will you achieve abet a stranger in hard times
What do you seek and do you believe a better world you?ll leave behind
