These Truths

from Somewhere in the Middle by Wes Weddell

/

about

Recorded by Moe Provencher at The Duplex, Seattle
Produced by Wes Weddell & Moe Provencher
Inspired by Howard Zinn's "A People's History of the United States"

lyrics

When in the course of human events
You find yourself at a crossroads
Two roads diverge in a yellow wood,
And sometimes you get lost in the process

We hold these truths to be self-evident,
We hold them deep in our chests
But is what makes us great all the things that we’ve done,
Or the thing that we might do next?

We the People of a more-perfect union,
We who continue to grow
We who will reach for that better tomorrow
Be we tired or huddled or poor

When in the course of human events
You seem to lose track of the footsteps
Two roads diverge in a wood, and I
Still hope to make all of the difference
