Somehow we came to think we needed things
For life to feel right (x2).
Guitars and cars and candy bars...
We might've been wrong.
The pursuit of happiness can happen to take
Quite a toll.
So much so that we might forget to let go,
And remember time flows.
I was surprised the road to the good life wasn't so steep.
Had no idea I'd meet all the people I'd meet,
Or see the places I'd see,
Or feel a freedom so free,
Or be the person I am,
Or ever learn to keep...
Just keep riding, riding along.
Riding, riding along.
Don't fret if you forget.
You got your dreams to keep you in check.
That's how it goes, there's really nothing you know
Except for just one thing: You can remember time flows (x2).
Just keep riding, riding along.
Riding, riding along. (x2)

Isn't it a, it a
Isn't it a big surprise (x2)
Every one of, one of
Every one of us is alive?
Yell if you're alive!
Listen to a, to a,
Listen to a steady beat (x2)
Sync your heart and, heart and,
Sync your heart and tap your feet.
Isn't life a treat? YES!
Isn't it a, it a
Isn't it a big surprise (x2)
Every one of, one of
Every one of us is alive?
Yell if you're alive!

Broken tribe, you're all mine.
The way you laugh at nothing but yourself,
it makes you all right.
Sigh one more time,
I'll put a knife through both of our hearts
Just to remind us of how lucky we are
I mean really!
I mean really!
Broken tribe, what a gas.
Do I even have to ask,
Or should I just let this moment pass?
I mean really!
I mean really!
I'm sorry
It had to be this way.
Don't worry.
It'll be okay.

Far From Knowing

Smoke me up just another one time
Give me laughter, give me peace of mind
Look around and everything I see
Realize there's more than just one me
Light me up with a camera lens and
Let's take turns just telling our friends
Where we are and where we're going
But keep the secret that we're far from knowing
Anything!

Blue Jay

She was in a wheelchair
Huge and incoherent,
Eyes long wandered off from us.
A giant evergreen, a
Christmas tree shown bright
Upon her waning locks.
My mother was her daughter.
Crying couldn't bring her back so
There was joy and laughter because,
Because there had to be and
Everybody knows it
Or else we couldn't keep on going.
Mmm.
I wore blue pajamas and
Chased a plastic blue jay
'Round the grand room.
It might as well have been real though
As the moment seemed fake, cause
I've only ever seen the tape.
And I know you could never be replaced.
Out of the billions dead I swear I could pick your face.
If I believed in all the things that the preachers say
I'd say this today:
Mary, why did you have to go? (x4)
But damn, you did some good things here.
Damn, Nana.
I have you to thank for all of this! (x2)
Mary, why did you have to go? (x4)
(whistling)

Abre Ojos is the brain child of a young man named Brian Hurlow, who Adam had the pleasure of sharing a stage with in the summer of 2010. His unique voice and writing style will make your ears happy.
