Try to understand that I'm only a mortal man.
Flesh and bones, and two strong hands.
To love and honor my family and friends.

I've lived all over the United States

but my heart has found a place here in the Northwest.

I have three beautiful children in my life

Caleb, Warren, and Joseph

They give to me more than I'll ever know

"Neither genius, fame nor love
show the greatest of soul.
Only kindness can do that."

"Jean Baptiste Lacordaire"

In memory of those who watch over me.
I'll always remember you,
and the moments we have shared.

Cannonsfire : Hard Sun - Into The Wild on October 20

When I walk beside her
i am the better man
when I look to leave her
I always stagger back again
once I built an ivory tower
so I could worship from above
and when I climbed down to be set free
she took me in again

there's a big
a big hard sun
beaten on the big people
in the big hard world

when she comes to greet me
she is mercy at my feet
when I see her pin her charm
she just throws it back again
once I sought an early grave
to find a better land
she just smiled and laughed at me
and took her blues back again

there's a big
a big hard sun
beaten on the big people
in the big hard world

there's a big
a big hard sun
beaten on the big people
in the big hard world

when I go to cross that river
she is comfort by my side
when I try to understand
she just opens up her eyes

there's a big
a big hard sun
beaten on the big people
in the big hard world

once I stood to lose her
when I saw what I had done
bound down and flew away the hours
of her garden and her sun
so I tried to warn her
i'll turn to see her weep
40 days and 40 nights
and it's still coming down on me

there's a big
a big hard sun
beaten on the big people
in the big hard world
