Last Night I Dreamt I Was a Hero Floating above the crowds in ticker tape lower me down into my parade Walk arm in arm with the people I hold dear. Hear me now, my adoring crowd, you are truly loved, and you are loud. You keep me strong and make me proud to say, Yeah my regrets are zero. Last night I dreamt I was a hero. If you were there you’d do the same, you’d brave the beasts you break their chains, lead all captives safely home, be free. Bathe me now in golden rays I sent them down with guns ablaze. Placed myself in the devil’s way, humbly. Oh good luck don’t just appear though. Last night I dreamt I was a hero. Awoke to clouds, dust and disease, bitterness, disgust, and broken knees. Waking life’s not what it’s cracked up to be I found. I got more enemies than Nero. But last night I dreamt I was a hero.
5.	Tony's Song (For Tony & Amy) 04:07	lyrics	buy track
Tony’s Song Is there anyone better? I don’t think so. Those waves of gray and white will guide me through the dark, Past the shadows I had marked as corners i had feared to roam. No longer, with you everywhere is home. No matter how small. Or if we’re just walking in the mall. Yeah, you’re something just as rare as a desert waterfall, that we will see. One day, you and me. One day we will see. C’mon let’s waste a little time. We’ll laugh the days away inside this house. There’s no need to go back out. Take our time and settle in. Til our snowy city begins to green. Just sit on our butts and scream. Yeah til even Jellybean finds our laziness obscene. Did she just sigh? I think she rolled her eyes. Looked at me and said “It is I.” Yeah now Zion it will be there. It’s been holding strong for years. Keep an eye on me I swear I’ll be smiling ear to ear. Dear, I ain’t going anywhere. Who knew life could change in a blink? My, how the stars align. Changed my life, changed the way I think. Now I’m laughing all the time. I’d like to recognize all the joy you bring to my life. That game you swore you’d learn to play just for me, Admit it’s true. You’re know playing for you too. And you know I love you dude, but let me at my Pikachu. A remote hog, it’s not like you. You’ve been playing for a day or two straight. It’s time to eat some food. Oh you got game over. Phew. I guess it’s time I took a turn. I knew you’d love it once you’d learned. Sure I’d love some dinner too. Oh, you’re done eating. That was fast. Here you go hon, have a blast. This one’s for you.

All of these songs were recorded at home during the Covid-19 pandemic (except for Don't Pray On Me which was recorded some years ago but is more relevant now than ever so had to be included). All proceeds will be donated to the National Network of Abortion Funds. Thank you!
