The Seething Coast - Dignity
I was born here
I might die here
The sun went down on me a long, long time ago
I've been to the mountain top
And I watched the city burn
There was nothing left to say
There was nothing left to learn
I've been to the Sangamon river banks
I seen the water rise
Dark glasses on my eyes
To hide the pain I can't diguise
I was born here
But I can't die here
And all my dreams dried up a long, long time ago
I'll fly away, I'll fly away
I'll fly away, I'll fly away
I can see for myself
That the sun is sinking
I walked downtown
And I saw no bright lights blinking
Oh, my how things have changed
Once was familiar now gone
It wasn't that long ago
I climbed the statehouse steps
Tipped my hat to Brent Best
The politician covers his eyes
To hide the lies he can't disguise
I was born here
But I can't die here
And all my dreams they all dried up a long, long time ago
I'll fly away, I'll fly away
I'll fly away, I'll fly away
