Subject: RE: New Kristofferson CD - This Old Road
Man! I cannot stop singing these songs!

Chorus of Pilgrim's Progress:

Am I young enough to believe in revolution?
Am I strong enough to get down on my knees and pray?
Am I high enough on the chain of evolution?
To respect my brother and my sister and perfect myself,
In my own peculiar way?

From In The News:

Read about the sorry way he done somebody's daughter
Chained her to a heavy thing and threw her in the water
And she sank into the darkness with their baby son inside her
A little piece of truth and beauty died.

Don't blame God, I swear to God I heard him say:
"Not in my name, not on my ground,
I want nothing but the ending of the war.
No more killing, or it's over and the Mystery won't matter any more."

And more verses.

And, from This Old Road:

Look at that old photograph
Is it really you?
Smiling like a baby full of dreams.
Smiling ain't so easy now some are coming true.
Nothing is simple as it seems.
Guess you count your blessings with the problem
That you're dealing with today
Like the changing of the seasons.

Ain't you come a long way? Ain't you come a long way?
Ain't you come a long way down this old road?

I love this new CD!
