Bruce Guthro's "Ivy's Wall". Some great lines and below is one of my favorites.


"Ivy was a little man, who left a giant trail.
With a pocket full of change, for the kids the world had failed"

I like it because it paints a vivid image of Ivy and his detirmination to make make a difference.

As with others in this thread I feel Stan Rogers was a master of capturing a life long story in a four or five minute song. "Lies"
is a perfect example.
