Song For Mary

I can't feel my fingers, but I can feel my life

they are numb from strumming the banjo of strife

the music in my head helps me 

it gives me feelings of peace and hope

shall I play you a tune my friend

or do you just want the song to end

can you feel the love I have written in the song

the millions who have heard it could not be wrong

I would write for the masses, I sing from my soul

to warm the hearts of the people who love is my goal

break free from the chains that bind your heart

for we all strive for war and pain to never rip us apart
