Older recording of a very melodic acoustic rock song that tells my own story about a life of purpose
PANARCHY is the vehicle for performing the more progressive rock songs written by Scott Gordon. The band was started by Scott Gordon (keyboards/vocals/guitars)
Welcome to PANARCHY - proof positive that the craft of songwriting - intelligent, poignant lyrics, and innovative but sonorous harmony of voices and instruments - is not dead. PANARCHY is for me what UTOPIA was for Todd Rundgren. A real band for the band, in-between my own acoustic solo performing and recording.

Story behind the song
This song marks a moment in which I felt I finally understood who I am and what I was doing in the world. It was a very inspiring time for me and I felt proud of the inspired melody.
Lyrics
LONG, HARD ROAD 1992 Dallas TX I was standing for justice - Out there at the grounds With a power in numbers we came Feeling the spirit of hope all around - We would win back our Freedom some day - -I have stood on the mountain - In hunger and prayer -For sending me some kind of sign -It's a hard road we walk - In this life that we share -And we need all the hope we can find -It's a Hard Road - Let's give all the love we can send - -What a Long Road - So make it worth every minute you spend - -I will walk down this road with you friend There's a spirit of hope in the life on this earth That some madness has hidden away Though she cares for the creatures she's nourished from birth - You can feel her great sadness today -How her beauty is fading - She's been under attack -From the ones who are drowning in greed -They have taken and taken and not given back -To the future, to children in need -It's a Hard Road - To keep children safe as they grow -What a Long Road - So be there, wherever you go -This is something I thought you should know: It's a Hard Road - It's been a Long Road It's a Hard Road - What a Long Road! I came back through the darkness - came in out of the cold I thought that I had lost my way I came back to the point where I'd strayed from the road And came alive with the light of the day -I recaptured the hopes and the dreams of my youth -And saw what I wanted to Be -The road to my Freedom was paved with the truth -And learning to live honestly -It's a Hard Road - To trust and to love once again -What a Long Road - But with a Bridge we can cross at the end -And it keeps getting closer my friend It's a Hard Road - It's been a Long Road It's been a Hard Road - What a Long Road! -I will walk with you friend to the ends of the earth -I will walk through the high and the low -Till we're all realizing the value and worth -Of this life that we're coming to know It's been a Hard Road - Been a Long Road It's a Hard Road - What a Long Road - Long, Hard Road - 1992 - Scott Gordon
