R-E-V-O-L-U-T-I-O-N
R is for the righteousness of
our fight
E is for the evil that
permeates this place
V is for the victory on which
we set our sight
O is for the overwhelming
odds we face
L is for the love that we
show one another
U is for the undeniable force
we possess
T is for the talents we will
discover
I is for that ignorance that
we must address
O is for oppression the
foulest crime
N is for now, as now is the
time
He Laid it Down
Well if you take a good look
You’ll see a shining light
It’s written in the good book
About a King gentle and contrite
Well he had enormous power
He coulda done as He please
But it was His finest hour
To be crucified on a tree
He laid it down
So others could live
And now I’ve found
I’ve got the will to give
Cause he laid it down
Oh yes I got the will to go out
To speak the truth and defeat doubt
I shall clothe the naked and feed the poor
I’ll serve in no army I’ll fight no war
And in times of sorrow I shall not frown
Cause He laid it down He laid it down
He laid it down
So others could live
And now I’ve found
I’ve got the will to give
Cause he laid it down
With wonderful words he did speak
To love your enemy and turn the cheek
He was tempted but never did sin
He died but death could not hold him
Jesus sits in heaven with a glorious crown
Cause he laid it down he laid it down
He laid it down
So others could live
And now I’ve found
I’ve got the will to give
Cause he laid it down
Well in this world I often suffer defeat
But by God’s grace my hope is complete
It is true I cannot pay salvation’s price
That was done with Jesus’ great sacrifice
Oh yes I’m clean and heaven bound
Cause he laid it down He laid it down
He laid it down
So others could live
And now I’ve found
I’ve got the will to give
Cause he laid it down

An Odd Bet
Harley Davidson black leather jacket hot blonde holding
tight
Cruising down the freeway on the way to the bar or a fight
My Mustang motor roared I was feeling well under my age
Put the pedal to the floor and passed the biker in a rage
At best it was an odd bet
Life is a chance sometimes you regret
Trick of the thing is to get better yet
At best it was an odd bet
I flipped the biker the finger disregarding the danger
The day was already strange and it was just getting stranger
I yelled out the window loud as I could “How does my dust
taste!!??!”
I had put down all of my cards the last one a dirty ace
At best it was an odd bet
Life is a chance sometimes you regret
Trick of the thing is to get better yet
At best it was an odd bet
Ever since the Neanderthal survival was the primary game
A man can always turn the other cheek but that carries shame
The biker was coming up quickly sickly out of his mind
Anger mixed with ample hatred made both of the dude’s eyes
blind
At best it was an odd bet
Life is a chance sometimes you regret
Trick of the thing is to get better yet
At best it was an odd bet
In the great prairies the coyote hunts the sacred buffalo
Life is for the living but please enjoy the show
If things always made sense then logic would be king
I turned up the radio and let Buddy Holly sing
So he pulled up next to me cursing some foul words full of
jive
I blew him a kiss and proceeded to pull out my forty-five
There is a moment of deepest reason when peace conquers war
In a flash as if in a mad crash I saw the man no more
At best it was an odd bet
Life is a chance sometimes you regret
Trick of the thing is to get better yet
At best it was an odd bet
