“Carrie”
Words and Music Ron Frederick

Carrie, they're saying you're shattered, how can you shake hands with such fools?
They even want to reprogram your memory, they're sharpening their tools     
I'm coming to relieve you Carrie, Carrie you're sailing with me
We're gonna melt into the dark mysteries that they've kept you too frightened to see

You're stronger than all of them Carrie,  all they can hold is a grudge
They want you  believing it's scary 'cause that way maybe you won't even budge
I've come to realize they don't see the world that you feel
They've had you believing so long that there's either a right or a wrong, When for us in-between's often real

They're expecting a blizzard this morning but it won't be too cold out for me
It's the hearts in the homes that are freezing alone, burning eyes too angry to see
So get your coat of corduroy Carrie, you're going with me to your dreams
Don't leave them with tracks they can follow, just let them remember your screams

Don't cry on this telephone Carrie, I'm gonna hold you, I'll soon keep you warm
I was hoping you'd spend less time in worry 'cause you're never going back to that farm
You'll come to realize they don't see the world that you feel
They've cornered your trust for so long, you never feel right, always wrong before I'm done those bastards will kneel, they'll kneel, they'll knee
