Tom Sawyer

A modern day warrior
Mean, mean stride
Today's Tom Sawyer
Mean, mean prideThough his mind is not for rent
Don't put him down as arrogant
He reserves the quiet defense
Riding out the day's events
The riverWhat you say about his company
Is what you say about society
Catch the mist, catch the myth
Catch the mystery, catch the driftThe world is, the world is
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his skies are wideToday's Tom Sawyer
He gets by on you
And the space he invades
He gets by on youNo, his mind is not for rent
To any God or government
Always hopeful yet discontent
He knows changes aren't permanent
But change isWhat you say about his company
Is what you say about society
Catch the witness, catch the wit
Catch the spirit, catch the spitThe world is, the world is
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his eyes are wideExit the warrior
Today's Tom Sawyer
He gets by on you
And the energy you trade
He gets right on to the friction of the day
