Story Behind The Song
In an effort to be more 'connected' to my sons (at a time that I was afraid I was not) I started this song. It soon became a self-peeling onion and I saw not only the tie between a father and sons...but between all of us. We are united and have always been; just didn't realize it, perhaps
Song Description
There has always been, since my childhood, and underlying everything...a connection. Between a man and his family and the bigger family of man. It's still there, shaken sometimes, but there. Joining us.

Lyrics
It was the song of my childhood
It was the song of the crowd
Never heard it; wasn't listening
Now it's playing so loud
And I think it needs singers
And I think it needs voices
I think that my life comes down
to just 2 or 3 choices
So I picked up my pen
And I let go the guns
And I plugged in my Fender
and I thought of my sons
Pre Ch/Chorus:
And I was connected
I was connected
a bit imperfected
But I was connected
And I will never be lonely again
I will never be lonely again
My heart will never be homeless
I'll be ok, just as long as
My face will never be nameless
Because you feel just the same as I do
I am connected
v.2
Inside an old man
there's a small bit of youth
And every lie that I've heard
Had just a small bit of truth
My pockets are empty
But my mind's just as clear
And the ones that I hurt...now
Are the ones I hold dear
Pre-Ch/Chorus:
And I was connected
I was connected
a bit imperfected
But I was connected
And I will never be lonely again
I will never be lonely again
My heart will never be homeless
I'll be ok, just as long as
My face will never be nameless
Because you feel just the same as I do
I am connected
v.3
There's a song in the crowd
It's gone on for days
We're all standing together
And our hands are all raised
And I think I hear singers
I could swear I hear voices
And I know that my life comes down
to just 2 or 3 choices
Pre-Ch/Chorus:
And I was connected
I was connected
a bit imperfected
But I was connected
And I will never be lonely again
I will never be lonely again
My heart will never be homeless
I'll be ok, just as long as
My face will never be nameless
Because you feel just the same as I do
I am connected
