Sailors bold, out on the sea,  
On a quest for wealth and fame,  
With a map in hand and a heart full of glee, 
To a treasure island we came. 
 
Chorus:  
Oh, the gold and jewels shining bright,  
A sight to behold on the sand,  
But when pirates come in the dead of night,  
We'll fight to keep our treasure grand. 
 
We landed on the shore,  
With our hearts full of hope,  
We dug and searched, till we found  
A chest filled with gold and a golden rope. 
 
Chorus:  
Oh, the gold and jewels shining bright,  
A sight to behold on the sand,  
But when pirates come in the dead of night,  
We'll fight to keep our treasure grand. 
 
We laughed and sang, as we counted our wealth,  
But soon our joy turned to fear,  
For the pirates came, with blades in their teeth,  
And our treasure was what they held dear. 
 
Chorus:  
Oh, the gold and jewels shining bright,  
A sight to behold on the sand,  
But when pirates come in the dead of night,  
We'll fight to keep our treasure grand. 
 
With swords in our hands, we fought brave and bold,  
But the pirates were many and strong,  
We battled hard, and our courage was told,  
But they were XXX XXXX XXX XX XXX XX XXXX XX

I continue to be amazed and inspired by the courage and perseverance of the Ukrainian people. Fighting and dying, Street by street, yard by yard, on their homeland for the right to self-determination and the very freedom we take for granted. I shouldn’t be surprised. I married one! For my wife, Adela, and the gallant people of Ukraine and the late Richard D. Hanusey, EdD.

Rat race

By Howard Aronson

This lyric is about the craziness of living in the world today. No one has time for anybody anymore, everybody's just moving at such a fast Pace. Simple pleasures are no longer simple, everything is a fight, it's just an arduous task to get through a day. All the distractions, the traffic on the roads, and the angry people behind the wheel. There's so much distraction, so much temptation, and so much aggravation. It's really hard to take, and it won't be long before the world just blows up totally. There's so many wars and so much hate I'm not sure how much longer this can last.

Making it

By Edward McBride

This song describes the hopes and dreams of a poor cotton picker in the Southern United States. He picks cotton by day and picks on his guitar at night. He stays humble as he starts to get noticed and gets signed up by an agent. The rise is rapid as he soon opens for some big stars in Nashville. Through it all he remains humble.
