BOUND They all came down to the station When I got back home Distant lovers and relations My the years have flown Hello hugs and tear shined kisses From every girl I ever knew Some close calls and some near misses All so hopelessly untrue We are bound like raindrops on a river We are bound like big trees on the ground Like mountains rolling on forever We are bound we are bound They brought the prisoner to the courthouse A young man shakin’ in his cuffs The D.A. could not find a witness The judge he said he’s seen enough Weepin ’ mothers heartsick lovers No way to get back what’s been lost Good or bad he’s still out brother We all bear his rugged cross We are bound like raindrops on a river We are bound like big trees on the ground Like birds of a feather fly together We are bound we are bound Love one another like the good book says Or is it just a crumbling page There’s no road but you can get there 10,000 ways Poor boys sleepin’ on park benches Rich boys ride in limousines Soldiers lying in dark trenches Young girls dancing with their dreams Sunday morning bells are ringing Thunder all across the land On the back streets children singing In their circle made of hands We are bound like raindrops on a river We are bound like big trees on the ground Like strangers caught in stormy weather We are bound we are bound Words and music by Robert Hazard © 2007 Heroic Music (ASCAP)
