Apparently most folks like this song best.
vocals folk lyrics concept harmonica
Guitar, harmonica, vocals, and not much else. Folk, mainly.
Just me, mainly, playing guitar and harmonica and singing. Fairly folkish, and if you were naive, you might call it emo.

Story behind the song
Just a plea. A plea for experience, a plea for adventure, a plea for truth. A plea for self-realization, as hippie as that may seem.
Lyrics
I'm just a young boy with nothing more to give I may be lazy, but I've got a life to live I've got no money, but I sure could use a lift I've been blown away, there's nothing more to sift Show me pain, so I'll have something to write about Show me love, so my smile won't be so thin And help me, God, to realize my life just won't begin Until I choose the race I'd like to win If you could see me then, you'd understand me now It'd answer questions, like when and why and how It'd take you long enough to see what I've become I thought I'd finished, but it's only just begun Show me death, so I'll know how precious life is Show me life, so death won't seem so bad And I can say that every day is all I've ever had So how can I be anything but glad?
