All Together

© 2011 Andy Harrison

 People of the world are marching

 Shouting out for true change

 Smell the sweat, feel the hunger

 Time is now we got to rearrange

Chorus:

 We’re gonna get it all together

 We’re gonna turn it all around

 We’re gonna get it all together

 Growing loud can you hear the sound?

 People of the world are angry

 Speaking out telling the truth

 Breathe in the air rich with fervor

 Taste the freedom if we only choose

Chorus:

 We’re gonna get it all together

 We’re gonna turn it all around

 We’re gonna get it all together

 Growing loud can you hear the sound?

Come on out to The Mad Greek this Friday October 14th from 7-10.

Here’s the song I wrote today inspired by the occupy the FED and occupy wallstreet movements

Little Bit Wiser

© 2011 Andy Harrison 

We’re out on the Pavement

We’re out in the crowd

You can hear us shouting

Sound’s growing loud

We smell the anger

We feel the discontent

Hungry for truth

And our message to be sent

Chorus:

We’re doing alright

We’re doing O.K.

A little bit wiser than yesterday

Now we see where we went wrong

Won’t turn the same way

A little bit wiser than yesterday

We’ve been blinded for too long

Couldn’t see what is real

Hear the lies from the T.V.

While crooks pillage and steal

We smell the fear in the people

But feel a hope that’s brand new

A small taste of true freedom

From what we can do

Chorus:

We’re doing alright

We’re doing O.K.

A little bit wiser than yesterday

Now we see where we went wrong

Won’t turn the same way

A little bit wiser than yesterday

Here’s the song I wrote today:

The Bridge Between Bliss

© Andy Harrison 2011

Maybe I think too much

Maybe I don’t let go

Maybe I feel too stressed

Maybe I just don’t know

Maybe I want too much

Or maybe not enough

Maybe I try too hard

Maybe it’s not that tough

Chorus:

I’m looking for answers

I’m looking for clues

The bridge between bliss

And all we do

Where I’m headed

And where I’ll get to

The bridge between bliss

And all we do

Maybe I’m frightened

Or just a little unsure

Maybe I hold back

Maybe I should give more

Maybe I’m damaged

And someone’s to blame

Maybe the questions

Keep me searching in vain

Chorus:

I’m looking for answers

I’m looking for clues

The bridge between bliss

And all we do

Where I’m headed

And where I’ll get to

The bridge between bliss

And all we do

Fan of People

© 2011 Andy Harrison

In a shack in the back woods of Georgia

In the nineteen teens or so

He was born on the edge of midnight

As the moon hung orange and low

He was wrapped in a bag of burlap

His mama looked into his ancient eyes

The crickets and the lone wolf howling

Thought she heard a whisper in his cries

Chorus:

Gotta be a fan of people

And people will be a fan of me

Everyone is my neighbor

Obvious when you look and see

Looking out beyond my own skin

Helping you is helping me

Gotta be a fan of people

And people will be a fan of me

At 8 years old he saw a steel guitar

Behind the counter at the general store

He felt his chest burning from the inside

As he held it on his lap on the floor

The air filled with honeysuckle

As he laid his hands across the strings

His voice bellowed out like thunder

Taste of tears as he began to sing

Chorus:

Gotta be a fan of people

And people will be a fan of me

Everyone is my neighbor

Obvious when you look and see

Looking out beyond my own skin

Helping you is helping me

Gotta be a fan of people

And people will be a fan of me

In a gin joint off an old dirt road

The crowd was on the edge of insane

His guitar shook the walls like rapture

His voice felt like a hurricane

The air was full of smoke and spirit

The drinks full of sweat and gin

No need for a Sunday preacher

Paradise had already let them in

Chorus:

Gotta be a fan of people

And people will be a fan of me

Everyone is my neighbor

Obvious when you look and see

Looking out beyond my own skin

Helping you is helping me

Gotta be a fan of people

And people will be a fan of me
