Time I have
Written by David Crosby


People do so many things that make me mad but
Angry isn’t how I want to spend what time I have
Cognitive dissonance they call it
I wonder just how small it
Could be made to be
In me

There so much disturbing short sighted shit
We must be able to do better than just live with it
I’m looking to find some peace within me to embrace
To encourage that smile to find my face
sometimes I’m
winning

life in the city is so densely packed
fear of each other is an accepted fact
fear soaks into concrete just like grease
fear is the antithesis of peace

“I have a dream,” a great man said
Another man came and shot him in the head
Yet the dream floats out there visible
Still alive . . . Still alive

Those who rule the middle kingdom hate
the old man in the robes
They put up road blocks everywhere he goes
He says, “have no anger in your heart for them
they know not what they do”
Does that sound familiar
to you . . . to you

life in the city is so densely packed
fear of each other is an accepted fact
fear soaks into concrete just like grease
fear is the antithesis of peace

life in the city is so densely packed
fear of each other is an accepted fact
fear soaks into concrete just like grease
fear is the antithesis of peace
