Minute Man
I’ve been surrounded by critics, skeptics,
the saved, the dammed, optimists, and pessimists,
still they have not influenced me cause
In the darkness
I close my eyes
And look to the sky
Chin up, arms thrown back,
I’m marching on
Like a stalwart minute-man
I’m forever marching on
I’ve known the stoic, the expressive,
the lustful, and the restrained,
so far they haven’t tainted me cause
In the darkness
I close my eyes
And look to the sky
Chin up, arms thrown back,
I’m marching on
Like a stalwart minute-man
I’m forever marching on
I’ve been friends with jocks,
nerds, punks, and preps
yet in the cultural pandemonium
I’ve not lost my way cause
In the darkness
I close my eyes
And look to the sky
Chin up, arms thrown back,
I’m marching on
Like a stalwart minute-man
I’m forever marching on
Forever marching on
and on
and on
and on..
