Hearts on Fire

It happened so fast, we said meet in the square,
We all started to chant, let ‘em know we were there,
And we put up a fence, we’re sick of being pushed down,
fifty thousand at first, with more and more coming out,
When they sent the riot police down.
Where were you when we stood together, sacrificed to make things better?
Where were you when we became heroes?
Freezing cold, but our hearts on fire, built a wall of burning tires,
Where were you when we proved we’re not afraid?
And when they came with their guns and megaphones and threats,
In the rising sun, the city looked blood red.
It blew up like a grenade, the struggle rippled like waves,
When I closed my eyes, I saw guns flash in my head.
But we were just too big and we were just too proud,
They pushed as hard as they could, but we held our ground,
Like the heroes before us, we laid our lives down.
And they can take our lives, but our ideas will grow,
And one day they’ll have to reap the ugly seeds that they’ve sown.
And we will never give up, you see the blood on my face?
If I die, and she dies, a hundred more will take our place.

Reverie

I remember when the world still made sense,
And you had always been a part of it.
Maybe I was just a bit too innocent,
But I never thought that you’d be leaving like this.
I remember all the things you taught me,
I was with you in the garden planting seeds,
Sharing space on the piano bench, playing keys,
“How to be a man,” and what that really means.
I still depend on you, I see you in my dreams.
You showed us all about what a good life really means.
There’s nothing I wouldn’t leave behind
To have you in my life again,
But you’ve already left us and,
You made me the person I am.
If I could see you once again,
I’d tell you everything you meant,
All the people who loved you and
You left them a story to tell,
but you made me the person I am.
Heaven got a little brighter when you came,
I’m sure the angels already knew your name,
Did you think about me as your breath slipped away?
‘cause I think about you every day.
I miss you all the time.
I’ve got this hole inside
I try to fill by living with the strength with which you died.

Old Soldier

Pull up the blinds now, it’s a brand new day.
Lately they all look the same.
He’s a fighter but he knows he’s losing his brain.
Work’s over, old soldier.
And he sits in a dead room,
Sterilizer and perfume,
And the lights are slowly going dim.
Under daily assistance,
He looks into the distance
Like he sees his past in a camera lens.
Life of stagnation, three meals and a chair.
Body is tired, in his face is despair.
Deep breath, acceptance.
Take me, Lord, I welcome you, it’s been the sweetest dream.

Molehill Chicago, Illinois
“Do not be fooled by the name. Chicago’s Molehill is more like a mountain constructed with big guitars, melodic keyboards,
and pounding drums. Combining elements of progressive rock with pop sensibilities along with expansive and emotionally charged lyrics, this band delivers a symphonic listening experience.
–Jesse Menendez, Vocalo and WBEZ, 89.5FM and 91.5FM Chicago
