Name: Big Chain
Duration: P00H03M09S
Description: I wrote this about a popular political movement, but it really could apply to any circumstance in which people band together to try and do something. A group's goals can mean many things in the minds of its members, but they come together for a larger meaning encompassing all of those minds together.

lyrics

There's a chain that's forming downtown
Stretches 'cross the land
Some people say it don't mean nothing
Some people don't understand
But others see the problem
And others draw the line
So raise your hands in a song of peace
And link 'em up into mine

And make a chain
Make a big chain
Filter one little thought through so many big brains
Big chain, big change

Some chains are made of silver
Some chains are made of gold
Some chains are made of people
Who just will not be ignored

A chain is not just one piece
There are many different parts
That come from different places
Connected at the heart

They make a chain
Make a big chain
Filter one little thought through so many big brains
Big chain, big change

Sometimes the spirit never dies...
