The Shepherd (Interlude)

I, I don't think that it's ever fated in a person that you'll write some music You know, your life events dictate And situations dictate what you create Kinda whatever you do I, I sort of think of it all kinda like this I mean, all the songs that I have written I feel like I just, just captured out in the wild I've never set out trying to be the best musician I just wanted to live a, a life worth living I, I, I, I want to be here while I am And songs become just sort of distilled time, experience All of my music is, comes from my friends The things I've wanted to do, the things I have done It's just a big mish-mash of, of dreams and reality Whatever the series of events in my life that led me to meeting you that night And the series of events that, you know Sent Jay Manley on his path Somehow met up in the future And through that, using that guitar I ended up writing these songs that I don't think I would've written on any other guitar It's just the time and the place, and, and the culmination of that And that's what I caught and put it out in the air And then now I feel like I'm just sort of Get to be the shepherd of these songs You know, I, I heard something and put it together and named it And now that's something that I get to be responsible for The, you know, tied to my, to my life And then whatever those songs might inspire other songs, you know It's just a continuous tumbling of time It's craziness But it's our craziness And we all share that And that's maybe my favorite thing about it all Just those echoing voices Through time
