about

Troy, NY - March 1995

lyrics

Troy

On rising one morning and walking out the door
I came to a place I'd not been before
I'm no longer a child playing with toys
Today I conquer Troy

The castle is mighty and I am so small
But with a will to love I will scale that wall
And raise a ragged flag of blues and greens
So that it can be seen

chorus
And I'll see the world through this city's changing skies
And know the lives built so many stories high
Since I was a child I've known that I would try
I mean to conquer Troy

The shadows and the echoes are comforting
In the empty sanctuary of the streets
I begin to notice faces way up high
And shadows watchful eyes

Granite and copper fading green
Meant to last forever meant to always be
A refuge for the worker and family
And for the family

chorus

I hear the clock ticking upon the shelf
And though I am alone I'm not by myself
For we can be an army that walks for peace
Together we can find peace

Boys hand me my sword and don't you take long
I'm off to make some choices I will be strong
There's no fairy tale ending when looking for joy
I mean to conquer Troy
