My thoughts are not your thoughts nor are your ways my ways says the LORD. As the heavens are higher than the earth so are my ways higher than yours. Isa: 55:9
"Many, O LORD my God, are your wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are towards us: they cannot be counted up in order to you: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered." Psalms:40:5 This is what my music is all about.

Story behind the song
This is a song from a fugitive - I ran away from home when I was 17 and joined the Navy to see the world. Sometimes things don't work out the way we plan them however but the experience did inspire me to write a poem which later became this song.
Lyrics
Your mother she has said goodbye scratching at your evil eye And slamming shut that last door in your face. Your father whom you never knew He would have done the same thing too So just be glad that he cannot be found As you stumble into the dismal night you huddle by a dim streetlight And you wish somehow this all could be a dream But as the time begins to pass you feel that unseen hourglass Reminding you that now youre on your own Kid, now youre on your own Go and make yourself a home Learn from all that youve been shown As you turn your back you hesitate to heel the first step you must take Until you realize that its too late So upon the road you leave your tracks and all the torn and battered shacks Which yesterday had been your only home As you look ahead you cannot see just where it is youre going to be When tomorrow comes and steals the night away But with troubled shoulders you watch your feet as they tap a rhythm on the lonely street And you sing a song that makes you feel secure Kid, now youre on your own Go and make yourself a home Learn from all that youve been shown You soon forget the meaningless fight in which youre sure that you were right And you think about the days that are to come Yet the stabbing thought within your mind is not the scene you left behind But the girl you love whos now so far away As you think of her its crystal clear you wish that she were present here To walk with you and show you where to go But the people passing in their speeding cars returns you to the wind and stars Where youre face to face with a cold and careless world Kid, now youre on your own Go and make yourself a home Learn from all that youve been shown
