One Guitar

Scritta da Frank Joseph Lee e Willie Nile, vincitrice del Independent Music Awards for Best Social Action Song 2013. Abbiamo avuto l’onore di aver partecipato al “Light of Day” tour in Italia, raccogliendo fondi a favore della ricerca sul Parkinson; in seguito Willie Nile ci ha permesso di incidere una nostra versione della sua “One guitar” come singolo benefico per la Light of Day Foundation.

One Guitar

It is the middle of the night right in the middle of the street
It could be uptown, downtown but I can feel the beat
There is a marchin' drum there is a song unsung
It could be your dream, my dream it's not the only one
I'm a soldier marchin' in an army
Got no gun to shoot
But what I got is one guitar
I got this one guitar
I see the risin' smoke I hear a heartbreak joke
Hey all my brothers and sisters I thuink it's time we spoke
I've only got six strings but like a bell they ring
Its like a jet plane, insane crashin' in my brain
I'm a soldier marchin' in an army
Got no gun to shoot
But what I got is one guitar
I got this one guitar
And it goes... na na na...
So if you get knocked down you gotta take a stand
For all the outcast, dead last who need a helping hand
So get your tambourines and turn your arms up loud
And raise your voices, voices up above this crowd
