Whispers

I've been walking for so long, my soles worn down

And oh how I wish I could let them know how I make it through this maze and home to them

Until I get there, I'll be singing flying kites and hoping that somebody rides

Me back from wherever it is they went

I keep my eyes to the sky, looking at the clouds, see the faces in the shapes

Wondering if they're looking down

It's getting harder and harder to picture the farther it gets from the day they

Departed and embarked on another trip, and I'm missing so much

But that don't bring them back, though

Going up in Dutch while I'm walking down the back road

Talking to the ghost of a friend I hope to see again

Get up son time to Run, I'll be there when you go home

So when you hear my whispers on the wind, you'll hear me Saying

Get up son time to Run

I'll be there when you go home, just show your rose and I'll see you again

God bless my sweet mom and daddy, they loved us to raise us happy

Then something suddenly happened, my sunny days were saddening

I slowly started to notice life and life with the shoulders

The weight was heavy as boulders

I couldn't live with my shoulders, and though they tried to take the pain

We got into growing to hold us, I was only 16, that winter it was the coldest

So I did what I had to do to survive, I had to start a few fires

You could see in my eyes that David Dunn got into something

Now he ain't the same boy

He ain't smiling like he did, living with the same joy

School grades started slipping

He quit playing sports, peer pressure picking up bad habits of all sorts

Took it to the next level, man it didn't take long, I was drawing crazy pictures

Writing lots of sad songs, buried a couple friends, nearly wound up dead

So they call him Demon Jones, and it's off with your head

Get up son time to Run, I'll be there when you go home

So when you hear my whispers on the wind, you'll hear me saying

Get up son time to Run

I'll be there when you go home, just show your rose and I'll see you again

Get up son time to Run, I'll be there when you go home

So when you hear my whispers on the wind

You'll hear me saying, get up son time to Run

I'll be there when you go home, just show your rose and I'll see you again

I'm a man who believes the ghost is there if you listen, even though I may not

Be the greatest man of the scripture

Ain't no suffering above us in the land of redemption

But we still feel it down below, you know, cause damn it, we miss you

You were my daddy's twin, I got your spark in my eyes

That's the spark up in the stars upon the darkest of nights

That's the master telling me that he's got faith in my vision

Two brothers with their sons on the lake is my favorite depiction

Remember when I was little and my casting was sloppy, me and Ryan

We was filling up that basketball crop

And you got hold of that snap and been wrestling till he came free

Those are some memories that made me

And I ain't never seen my daddy cry, Lord

Till that first birthday that you wasn't alive for

But I know that the day will come when two brothers will reunite

I'll see my father and my uncle in the sky, and we'll hear them singing

Get up son time to Run I'll be there when you go home

So when you hear my whispers on the wind, you'll hear me saying

Get up son time to Run, I'll be there when you go home

Just sow your rose and I'll see you again, get up son time to Run

I'll be there when you go home, so when you hear my whispers on the wind

You'll hear me saying, get up son time to Run

I'll be there when you go home

Just sow your rose and I'll see you again
