I rise in the morning
say a prayer, and face the healing sun
I know I lost my way not long ago
got to get it back before the day is done
and hold on, hold on to my country soul
hold on, hold on to my country soul
I step from the doorway
look around, and see my neighbor's son
I hope he learns not just to fear the wild
but to find the ancient roots that grow inside
and hold on, hold on to our country soul
hold on, hold on to our country soul
sun burning red hot in the morning
and any sailor knows to take warning
I sing in the evening
to a weary world, no longer young
I know we may not slow it down at all
but I'd rather fight for that than hold the gun
and hold on, hold on to my country soul
hold on, hold on to my country soul
hold on, hold on to my country soul
hold on, hold on to my country soul
This is an album I recorded in 2012 as part of a duo called Zej & Calen. Zej is a great Bay Area-based singer/songwriter and we have a lot of fun playing together. Check it out! Calen Perkins
