lyrics

The Yeah Song
words and music by Joel Pakan
© 2003 Subtle Conversation Music (ASCAP) - tangledblue.com

Stumbling, tumbling, sometimes risen, sometimes fallen.
When I sit and think about it I’m prone to dissipate.
Move me; groove me like a record spinning slowly.
Imprint me with a tune that tells of the joy in this place, yeah.

Freely, fondly, help me recall the love shown to me.
And keep me from taking myself too seriously.
Thankful, cup full of more than I thought possible.
Gifted with more possibilities than minutes in this day.
Do not bury me in the ground while there is work to be found.
Wake me with the light of day and put me to good use, yeah.

Burdened, turned in with all the things I’ve stolen.
Forgive me for the rags I hoard so needfully.
Make me; shake me from the drone of this complacency.
So I will not look back and see this day as a waste.
Hide me under a bushel, no! Help me reflect the light You throw.
Even in my darkest night, put me to good use, yeah.

Take this love for my country and my wife.
Take my hardened heart and callused life.
Take my selfish need to disagree.
My optimism for what can be.
Take this guitar, every song I sing.
Hurtful thought and careless fling.
Drown them in Your time and space.
In the strange economics of Your grace.
Draw me out; shake me loose;
put me to good use, yeah.

Do not bury me in the ground while there is work to be found.
Hide me under a bushel, no! Help me reflect the light You throw.
Drown me in Your time and space, in the strange economics of Your grace.
Draw me out;shake me loose; put me to good use, yeah.

about

Tangled Blue Minneapolis, Minnesota

Since June of 2000, Aimee and Joel have been making music together. Their first CD was completed in 2003. Recorded at a farm house in Wisconsin, it is a caffeinated, folk-rock blend of songs that have shown their durability as the duo traveled with them over 500,000 miles of highways. With a new home in Minneapolis, Tangled Blue recorded "Advent" in 2008 and will finish a third project this year. ... more
