Population 4

a rebel in my mind
a rock n' roll king
didn't have the skills
falling short of that dream
lyrics were my way of life
countless hours
invested in the local scene
never spent a second on stage

record my passion if you will
this ghost demo never heard
spinning wheels
the concert in my head
wanting to front the band
i never could
change a thing
i never would

out of the ashes
rises a family man
a husband
and a father

my wife, my love
i have no regrets
without your heart
i am nothing
blessed is a son
then to receive another
is a gift from god
consider me complete

i'm a failed dreamer
but reality is sweet
would i really be happy
had my first instinct been true
some might say i missed the mark
it's irrelevant
for they haven't a clue
i'm were i need to be

out of the ashes
rises a family man
a husband
and a father

population four
my best composition
beyond words
it's not a song
a prototype of love
devotion
my existence
all the fame i need

Sarah, Silas, and Elijah
dedicated to you
a love so pure
it won't be undone
a son and a brother
i still am
but what you give me
is beyond reach

you're my family
population four
the love you give
makes me complete
a husband and father
content
love
complete....
