Your Own Ride

(album: Here If You Listen - 2018)

Love is wings
Keeps us in the air
Truth can be hard
But at least it's really there
Not just an image
But the substance deep inside

Truth, I give you, my child
To take with you on

Your own ride
You will ride with the owls at night
Your own ride
Sometimes you'll flee
Sometimes you'll fight

Fear is the mind killer
The creator of rage
A consul is wisdom
When it comes with age

They watch it step the passage
Each path that you take
Each thing you do
And all the choices you make
To face up to evil
And to see it through

Truth, I give you, my child
To take with you on

Your own ride
You will ride with the owls at night
Your own ride
Let your good heart guide you
Your own ride
Sometimes you'll flee
Sometimes you'll fight

'Cause I been thinking about dying
And how to do it well
How to stand up and face it
Or just lie where I fell
It's a matter of honor
Having stood up to might
To spend my last hour
Clearing a path

For your own ride
You will ride with the owls at night
Your own ride
I will be there beside you, child

Your own ride
You will ride with the owls at night
Your own ride
Sometimes you'll flee
Sometimes you'll fight
