Bilingual
A modern day warrior
Mean, mean stride
Today's Tom Sawyer
Mean, mean pride
ย
Though his mind is not for rent
Don't put him down as arrogant
His reserve a quiet defense
Riding out the day's events
The river
ย
What you say about his company
Is what you say about society
Catch the mist
Catch the myth
Catch the mystic
Catch the gist
The world is, the world is
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his skies are wide
ย
Today's Tom Sawyer
He gets high on you
And the space he invades
It gets by on you
ย
No, his mind is not for rent
To any god or government
Always hopeful, yet discontent
ย
He knows changes aren't permanent
ย
The world is, the world is
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his skies are wide
ย
