Rhyme and Reason

A fat-jowled politician man came dancin’ into town
He said he came to save us, if we only came around
I listened to the plans he had, I tried with all my might
But my logic kept a’tellin’ me that something wasn’t right

The crowd all stood and cheered him on
They rallied and they cried
But I just shook my head around
For this I can’t abide.

For a man has only one life
A heart and mind to tend
A soul to bind him naturally
And help him to ascend

An inner voice a’callin
So sweet and so sublime 
To guide him thru the dangers
And point him in a line

Upon us is the season, and finally it’s the time
To exercise your reason, and send him with no rhyme.

To those who lost the battle, crying and afraid
Bring them a sweet welcome, let the anger fade
Give a little extra, turn another cheek
Lend a helping hand of love, and listen as they speak.

Let’s build this land together
Let’s blend our flags as one.
Let’s find a real greatness
As we step again as one.
