Song for Willy
(paroles et musique: Desmarais-Racine)

Once upon a time
In Trenton, NJ
Lived a country boy
Who longed for a journey
Almost every day
He was talking about it
But in the end he stayed
And he did not do shit

CHORUS:
Here's a song for you Willy
Only you can make it work
Take this song with you Willy
And give it birth

When he woke in the morning
His stuck in the ground
By the late evenin'
He was ready for showdown
Travelling the globe
And sleep in big hotels
But he's turning 24
And his life's a living hell

CHORUS

C'mon Willy boy
Your time is in a swirl
Cultivate this soil
And you will see the world
C'mon dear Willy
Your time is almost up
Your dream's in a hurry
Now you must never stop

The callings of the gods
Are meant to be answered
The pounding of the drums
Is part of your culture
Take this song of mine
And give it a new life
Forget about those ruins
They cut you like a knife

CHORUS X2
