Hey Cali, you don't know the world outside,
Sitting at your window, watching the people passing by.
I know that your legs long to run free.
To run out that window,
chase whatever you see.
But you know that you're small
and you might suspect that the world is quite large.
If you want to, I will help you.
I will take you out the door.
But just right now its too cold lately
for me to take you out no more.
Hey Cali I'm sorry that I can't take you every time.
But I'll make it warm.
I hope I don't take too much time.
If you knew this world so big
if you knew how hard it can be
You might not wander so far
and you'd know that you're still free.

Chill Out!

Hey Cali!
I know you're freaking out.
I know you're freaking out!
But if you'd just calm down
things would get much better
for me and you.
Things couldn't get much worse,
things couldn't get much worse
and if things can't get much worse
things can only get better.
So you need to chill the fuck out.

Ice Cream

She was a boy,
he was a girl.
They were in their own mixed up world.
They went to the ice-cream shop
and they tried to put the cherry on top.
They knew it would end badly.
They saw it through to the end madly.

Going to Work Diddy

I am going to work to make a couple bucks
for myself and the people I wanna spend it on.
I am going to work to make a couple bucks
for myself and the people I love.

Nervous Energy
01:15
|
|||
|
Sometimes I need to hide away.
Sometimes I need to slip out the back door.
Sometimes I need to hide away.
I hope you don't think
that I don't like you any more.
Too much nervous energy.
I think it's getting the best of me.
I think all this talking's got to stop, stop, stop.

Snowing in April
01:39
|

|
It's snowing in April
on flowers on the ground
and people are worried the whole world around.
But here in my castle
they don't make a sound.
Except when they come
put their feet on the ground.

Spring Time Song
01:41
|
|||
|
It's the spring
seeds are seeding
goats are bleating
hearts are bleeding in the ground.
Those bleeding hearts will
fertilize the soil
????
So maybe everything I'm hoping for
is coming.
It's coming
it's coming
it's coming up through the ground.

Sure it Shows
01:40
|

|
There's something I want to say,
I can feel it in my bones.
I can feel in my how...
I don't remember how it goes
but I feel it in my toes
I can feel it in my fingertips.
And if you look close enough
I'm sure that it
I'm sure that it shows.

What Was Their Names?
03:56

Have you heard of the drones we're sending overseas?
We're sending them out wherever we please.
They come from the sky and crash in the streets
tearing to shreds whatever it meets.
Tell me what was their names!
Tell me, what was their names?
You signed the orders but do you know the names?
Tell me what was their names!
Tell me, what was their names?
You pressed the buttons this ain't video games.
We'll fuck up the region then we'll send them our stores.
We'll sell them the guns that help fund the wars.
Now we're making money hand over fist.
Just bury their names so that they won't be missed.
Tell me what was their names!
Tell me, what was their names?
You signed the orders but do you know the names?
Tell me what was their names!
Tell me, what was their names?
You pressed the buttons this ain't video games.
She's walking home now from dropping off her kid
laughing to herself about something he did.
It came from the sky and tore up a hole.
Now his mommy's gone and he doesn't even know.
Tell me what was their names!
Tell me, what was their names?
You signed the orders but do you know the names?
Tell me what was their names!
Tell me, what was their names?
You pressed the buttons this ain't video games.

Oh Cali, I know
that this thing called love is real.
Just give it water, watch it grow.
Pay attention to how you feel.
Pay attention to how you feel.

David Power Galesburg, Illinois
My name is David Power. I play guitar and sing. My influences include Woody Guthrie, Big Bill Broonzy, Bob Dylan, Jeffery
Lewis, classic rock, hip-hop, and more.
I've studied classical guitar and know music theory, but I base my style most heavily on Woody Guthrie's folk guitar and simple lyrics.
I've been playing open mics in the Midwest, but cut my teeth at In One Ear in Rogers Park, Chicago.
