Singer/Songwriter Darren Block: Music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

IF I COULD ONLY BE THE DREAM OF ME I’D BEEN
I’D UNDERSTAND THE TIMES WE LIVE IN
AND I’D UNDERSTAND WHAT MAKES A MAN BECOME PRESIDENT
AND NOT SEE THE DREAMS OF PARENTS AND THEIR CHILDREN

WE HAVE BEEN HERE FRAMED IN COLOR FOR SO LONG
WE DID NOT REALIZE OUR PORTRAITS HAVE TURNED BLACK AND GRAY
AND THOUGH OUR VOICE WAS HEARD YESTERDAY CLEARLY
NOW THAT CLARITY HAS SLOWLY SLIPPED AWAY

LOOK OUT YOUR WINDOW BY THE DAWNS EARLY LIGHT
AND IF YOU SEE THE ROCKETS RED GLARE SAY GOODBYE
AND AS THE LAST GLEAMING OF TWILIGHT MAKES US CRY
I CAN STILL SEE THE POTOMAC IN YOUR EYES

I’VE NOT YET GONE BEYOND THE REACHES OF MY CANNONS
I CANNOT FINALIZE THE POETRY I’VE SEEN
I CAN ONLY SPECULATE ON THINGS AND DO MYSELF INJUSTICE
PLEASE DON’T FIND ME YET I’M NOT PREPARED TO SING
BUT SINGINGS ALL I KNOW

IF I COULD ONLY BE THE DREAM OF ME I’VE BEEN
I’D BRING BACK THE INSPIRED MEN
AS THEY SEE THEIR COUNTRY HANGING BY A THREAD
I’D WATCH THEM SHAKE THEIR WEARY HEADS
OLD RAGGED WIGS NOW STAINED WITH RED
