Live acoustic concert/self-therapy session at the Von Braun Center in Huntsville, AL. Lessons framed in music for those with short memory spans like the artist himself.
Lonesome Cavalry
Words & Music by Chapman James
Riding on my human
Heaven knows whereto
Trotting down intention laden paths
I’ve got to pull his reins in… So He’ll go straight ahead
Instead of wandering off for greener smelling grass
Sometimes on my human
I pass a kindred soul
I wonder if she recognizes me
Cause she’s up on her human… Distracted and misled
She wants a friend, her human wants a steed
Chorus:
Move along….. my human
Get along… my trusty steed
Here’s a song… for my human
We’re a lonesome cavalry
Humans brand each other
By color, shape and size
And follow those of favored skin and birth
Breeds might run together… But one by one as they pass by
The touch of every rider shows their worth
I ride up to a Hillside
And look out on the world
Every human herded to and fro
Some stampede the masses… Others hold their ground
So much to learn, they’ve got so far to go
Chorus:
At night when all is quiet
When my human’s fast asleep
I gaze up at the stars and think of home
I’d like to get back someday… But this journey makes me feel
Without my human I’d go back alone
Chorus:
