Last song on the Story of We (my personal favorite) Open Your Eyes.
Enjoy.

Open Your Eyes
Well I woke from my dream
To see things that I've never seen
To hear people talk forthcoming
To feel the aura of this world around me

So I set forth, away from my home
To wonder down that ever-changing road
With the clothes on my skin and this song in my bones
With a head full of words alive and all grown

I traveled to a forgotten land 
Where the people didn't understand
How the rest of time let em' all turn to sand
And the History books, they all had the upper hand

I turned and gathered my wits
When I saw what housed our Politics
I saw a man in a wing speak with confidence
That we'll fight a good fight despite our common sense

Well have you ever had this dream
Where the world would speak in harmony
Where the people all would realize
And if you haven't, oh well than just
Open your eyes

I wore my shoes down to the sole
When I stumbled across these reels of old
People not asking why, just doing what their told
With their heads pointed down, never saying a word

Well I saw signs that the times were gonna change
When the poets all wrote and the dreamers sang
When the speakers all spoke and this music rang
When the words of men would never fade away

I heard the wind blow and whistle a tune
Something about another man's fortune 
About how these days of old and these days of new
Won't rise without the tides of the moon

So I stayed alert and I stayed awake
And told myself to always remain in this state
Where a man's worth isn't judged by his fate
And the knowing of all truths will overcome the hate

Well have you ever had this dream
Where the world would speak in harmony
Where the people all would realize
And if you haven't, oh well than just
Open your eyes

Here are the lyrics to When I Was A Little Young from my upcoming CD "The Story of We"...dig it.

When I Was A Little Young
When I was a little young
I had thought I'd found the one
But now that I'm done, done and grown
Oh, that girl should have known

I was broke, beat and bruised
Down and out and feeling used
So tired of wanting more
So enamored with this chore 

Well all I can say is that I need you now
And I won't stop till I get it somehow

Walk with me Jessi Lea
We'll bunk down by this tree
I'll lay it down when you come around
Devil rise up don't make a sound

Girl you know that you should go
Momma finds out wont be no more
Keep that tongue don't say a word
Don't tell no lies, don't be absurd

Well all I can say is that I need you now
And I won't stop till I get it somehow

Watchin' & Waitin'
Well I was watchin' and I was waitin'
Contemplating coming and staying
These things of life have come to bloom
You've got to step it up and get out there soon
Well the sun was shining and I was trying
To take it all in and grab a piece of mind
There's no need to sulk there's no time for this
Because when you touch my skin its like Photosynthesis

Well I was lookin' and I was listenin'
This water's glistenin' and we aren't missin'
Dos Equis' cold and we aint feeling too old
We're doing all the things that shouldn't be told
So honey pie, won't you come with me
You need to get down and check out my scene
Well I won't fake this I'll bet all my wages
That when we get down it's like we're in the Stone Ages

I won't build you up, just to break you down
You won't ever have to worry, when I'm coming around
I will be there in a flash, you won't ever have to ask
Oh girl, this all for you

Well I was thinkin' and I was feelin'
Our bodies reelin' from two hearts healin'
Sun on my back I'm tossin' moments by
With this here guitar I'm strummin' away the time
Toes in the sand and we don't have a plan
We're living chaos don't you understand
This day is young, so go and get yours
We'll be acting like little whippersnappers.
