about

This is the last song from my and Jason's thesis show at NYU, "Americo Presents The Stars And Stripes Cavalcade." I liked it enough to include it on the album I made while Val was on tour with famous people.

lyrics

Train, take me home
Shoes, find my childhood road
I'm coming for some comfort
I'm coming to unload
My dreams.

Why all these emotions?
Never got to use them
God gave me talents
Never got to choose them

Why was I told the sky's the limit
But never given wings?
Who writes the songs no one sings?

I'm returning to the place
To where I won't be not good enough,
Not right enough,
For what is in my very heart
I'm losing the race
So why did I start?

So, God, just take them
Take away my dreams
Take away my dreams
They promised me things that I'll never see
Drew me away from what I could be
So just sweep up the magic
Lead me to my door
Relieve me of my dreams
Let me wander no more

Train, take me home
Shoes, find my childhood road
Take me where my future
Will be only what it seems
Home, make my home my home
And take away...

The success of their first concert-musical, the critically-acclaimed holiday show STRIKING 12, has led them farther into the world of theatre, where they have carved out a unique niche as a rock band writing and performing shows. less
