Some People Say by Bellsenburg from Portland United States

released 3/25/2020: a melodic, mid-tempo, home-made musical feast, a hand-clapper of a family song!

mothers 
let your kids be kids

before you know it, 
they’ll outgrow their cribs 


fathers
 let your sons be sons

everyday fades away
with the setting of the sun 

some people say 
they’ve news for you

but i ain’t heard yet and man
 i’ve been all over this old town

picking out my blues


some people say 
they’ve found the way

some people say

some people say
and they say it well

sisters

let your sheets be white

some devils stagger in
in a shimmering light

brothers

let your hairs grow gray
might be something you learn
along the way

something as hard 
as a hurling stone 
breaking through
every wall


maybe someone come
show you the way
that happened for me
every day
some people say


baby 
come and take my arm

i’m just a diamond in the ruff
i won’t do you no harm

neighbor

may your life be swell
heard you was leaving town

and i wish you well

before you leave
come and have a bite
there’s chili on
and we ain’t got much
to do tonight


maybe tomorrow
is a brand new day
maybe never comes again
some people say
