friends beyond the grave
(music & lyrics by rusty reid)
laozi would have found me undisciplined
socrates would pin me as a fool
plato would have left me in the cave
it’s alright, they’re my friends beyond the grave
rumi would rate my poetry at best, umm, simple
aurelius would roll his eyes at my resolve
yeshua would ponder if i really should be saved
it’s alright, they’re my friends beyond the grave
so they’re long dead gone, they’re still alive in me
i wouldn’t trade their wisdom for the crown of araby
maybe in this life i’ll finally so brave
to be worthy of these friends beyond the grave
shakespeare would find my life a comedy
robbie burns would shake his head and sigh
thoreau would know to possessions i’m just a slave
it’s alright, they’re my friends beyond the grave
jefferson would scoff at my education
twain would tell the tale of a boring sod
baldwin would lecture, “stop being such a knave!”
it’s alright, they’re my friends beyond the grave
so they’re long dead gone, they’re still alive in me
i wouldn’t trade their wisdom for the crown of araby
maybe in this life i’ll finally so brave
to be worthy of these friends beyond the grave
crockett would have watched me flee the alamo
nietzsche would count me among the bungled and botched
john and george would dismiss me with a wave
it’s alright, they’re my friends beyond the grave
so they’re long dead gone, they’re still alive in me
i wouldn’t trade their wisdom for the crown of araby
maybe in this life i’ll finally so brave
to be worthy of these friends beyond the grave
maybe in this life i’ll finally so brave
to be worthy of these friends beyond the grave
