A Face Among the Crowd by Jackie Greene
Seems like it was only yesterday Now that I’m a man and I’m fully grown Every time I look into the mirror I see you standing there I’ve been working hard most every night If you can keep your head and carry on I remember standing next to you
I was just a boy yearning to run
You always seemed so tall, uniform and all
Funny how some things they never change
I stand and face the world all by myself
If what they say is true: I’m a lot like you
Then I know we’re sharing more than just a name
Everyday I realize you’re more a part of me
I am but a face among the crowd
I hope i’ve made you proud
Hope I’m half the man you thought I’d be.
Singing all my songs under the spotlight
Sometimes it gets so rough
I feel I’ve had enough
But I recall the words you said to me
You can share your strength with those in need
You can watch it all cave in
Get up and build again
Why then you’ll be a man I do believe
To see how tall I grew
I remember falling down and scraping up my knee
I am but a face among the crowd
Hope I’ve made you proud
I hope I’m half the man you taught me to be
There are no words to express my anger when I see stuff like this. It’s just so… how can you… what the hell is he… what kind of evil, moronic, douchebag says… he’s speaking to young people… it’s just so… awful.
good lord i love this man. as talented as he is fat - best of both worlds.
This is not a commentary on politics, but I have a deep trust and admiration for our president. The man is measured, tactful and articulate. The full 60 minutes interview shows a leader, speaking from heart and head without an obvious script or political agenda. There’s plenty to be cynical about in politics, but I have a tremendous amount of respect for Obama as a man and I’m immensely proud to call him my president. I say without a hint of irony that if more people like him ran for office on both sides of the aisle, our country would be so much better for it.
now i know how to deal with billy bob thornton if i ever see him
you know that generation who started listening to music in the boy band craze and picked up a guitar because of john mayer? this is what happens when they apply talent to that history.
