There's a music that echoes <br />When an ancient bell rings <br />Live the dying breath of a hero <br />Seeing his purpose fulfilled <br />Now this ain't my first rodeo <br />And I ain't got time to kill <br />You'll find my only portfolio <br />On a stone on some hill… <br /> <br />This highway to nowhere <br />Just ain't makin' ends meet <br />Our house is so damn bare <br />Even the rats 're all gone <br />I'm working for my share <br />Still ain't got what we need <br />Shit's getting old out there <br />But I'm still goin' strong… <br /> <br />It ain't that I don't dare <br />Kick the world in the thong <br />And my son has no blank stare <br />When he looks at the morn <br />But the bastards wait somewhere <br />For see me flag in defeat <br />And say that I don't care <br />And sell my life for a song… <br /> <br />Eagles high in the bright sun <br />In holy silence and mirth <br />See the old homeless person <br />Who won't abandon his search <br />The stars won't be outdone <br />By no millionaire's purse… <br />There ain't no reason to run <br />From this ole universe.<br /><br />Little Eagle McGowan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/there-s-a-music-that-echoes/
