Blaze Eisner - American Spirit lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm a book on the shelf Coffee in your cup Oh I'm the stars and the moon, hate and the love And when you're lost and alone I'm the road that leads you home Oh that 'caine in your veins, I'm the rush I'm the shirt and the shoes Dark shades of blue Oh that dirt in your nails, the story and the tales And I'm here but I'm there In the house up the stairs Through the cracks and hole, hell I'm on the porch [Verse 2] When the wind starts to cry on some cold September night And the leaves they start to free themselves from vines I'll be the scarf around your neck And blanket on the bed When the hair starts falling from your head I'll be the wise [Verse 3] Oh I'm free as a slave Let me be, take me away I'm a bird on a perch, I'm a plane I'm the rich, I'm the poor I'm that drunk on the floor I'm a mop, I'm a broom, hell I'm the chore [Verse 4] And when they're heading out the door To some far and distant shore I'm the sign on the streets saying "in the war" When the ships sail in the bay And her fathers home to stay I'm the hope in her eyes on her face [Outro] Hell, I'm the brave I'm the brave
