Liberty

Taste the pleasure, taste the pain
Feel the heat is rising
But it comes before the rain

Brave the weather, face the rain
Feel the blade is slicing
A tourniquet from further gain

Seize the treasure, grace the gain
Gold becomes enticing
But gold becomes too plain

Climb the mountain, race the plain
And then soon we're gliding
Through amber waves of grain

Work the factories, split the grain
A free country who's guiding
Through the pleasure and the pain

Taste the pleasure, taste the pain
Feel the heat is rising
But it comes before the rain

Apple Butter

Across the seas in an old clay jar A journey vast, a journey far A small seed hidden amongst the cargo From Portugal west, on past Key Largo...
