Kindred Spirits

“…there is some high-quality work on display here. Many of the songs have remarkable contrast, and surprising twists and turns. The lyrics are often impressive as well… At center stage is Francis’s appealing voice. He makes good use of it when he allows the song, and not his powerful pipes, to lead.”

-J. Adrian Stanely The Gazette (Colorado Springs) Feb. 3 2006

greatest pain
often felt in vain
now let’s find a way for each moment to shine
for the players the singers the writers believers
the shaman and healers for peace that they bring
for the teachers who nurture the thinkers researchers
true leaders who try hard anyway
anyway
it’s ok to try

fractured lives
we’ve all broke at sometime
now bury that weight
but the lesson hold on
who’s admired inspired persistent resistant
to critics and pundits who say what to think
who’s attractive is active unselfish rebellious
to tyrants and bullies who try to control everything
and everyone
they must come undone
it’s time

refrain:
life fantastic let it spin
on the outside looking in
stay in motion kindred spirits
don’t recede
focused eyes up keep your chin
on the outside looking in
keep perspective
reinforce true beauty

who’s authentic insistent demanding expanding
their thoughts for a clear view of reality
let’s make the outside close inward outsiders
mass migration
let’s move it in
let’s begin
move it in
it’s time

refrain:
