This is a very different song to my usual compositions. It's about being you and letting other people be who they are. It was inspired by me watching Bowie in concert

lyrics

You can be you and I can be me
But the nut never falls very far from the tree
The ravage of time might take us away
But the bloodline persists at the end of the day

Where were you when I needed you
The fruits turned so bad through and through
Nothing to hold to nothing to say
Like a hole in the ground and I’m falling away
I never asked to be here in this place
I look in the mirror and stare at this face
Come angel of god and save a small tiny piece
Let the heavens above give me hope of release

You can be you and I can be me
But the nut never falls very far from the tree
The ravage of time might take us away
But the bloodline persists at the end of the day

To build on the rock when the sun shines through
To move on to pastures so sure and true
So happy to be here no game is too far
To follow the wind and connect with the star
Keep love at the heart keep heart at the core
No one could do better no one could do more
Stay strong in the middle and brave at the end
Keep marching on forward the message to send
