Story Behind The Song
I absorbed poetry and jazz while sneaking into the San Francisco North Beach nightclubs as a teenager. Today's rap is to me an evolution of this tradition. This is my expression of it.

Lyrics
Your lies were so proud - We started near the top - We walked without the fear - Decide to choose my tears - An evil lust was struck - I Kneel and bow - Kneel and bow to gods with broken prayers ?How much pain do you want to bear - Unearth the graves of your broken remains - How it mattered to honor hopeful thoughts and refrains - All at the roadside we shake it out - A little lost - A little kind - A little forgiving - A little of our life - And back to feeling numb - We look to the atmosphere - Sickness stored in little jars - Preserving all your grateful scars ?The Light Will Show The Way
?With enchanted breath my tongue speaks to the themes - My movements swallowed by the face of fragile dreams - like there was something there that I have missed -With an infinite charge bells ring like a fist - Confined within the best of circumstance - Willingly I judge this dance - Peel away the mask and make amends -Drown down the sorrow so that you might cleanse - Because I am awake, there is infinite passion - Because I am awake, there is infinite joy - Because I am awake, there is infinite loving - Because I am awake - there is infinite relief?The Light Will Show The Way
?I'll turn around, realize I'm not alone - Read encouraging words in the score of a poem ?Everyday you are here to drink it in - We walk this world, in life's stream we swim - We rush towards this silent spark - Illuminating what was once the dark - The spirit longs without delay - For the light that shows us all the way - Blind and enchanted you lose all control - Lies and deception unravel, unroll - Forged by our sins underneath the marquis light - The journey Becomes The march of all delight - Tell the stories, sing and belong - Awaken the shadows and join in the song - Address the wind, inhabit the shrine - The way of the light is the law of divine.
