Ode to Ethan Sky
Words & Music by Chapman James
Ethan Schuyler fell upon a Cliffside
Clinging to a mountain all alone
Wicked winds cut thru, The sun he scarcely knew
Kneeling like a child without a home
Ethan Schuyler bowed to every winter
At times his limbs sheered clean beneath the ice
Many of his peers, Lay down in frozen tears
So Ethan helped them bury up their lives… Ethan Sky
Chorus/Bridge:
When hopes are deeply sown
Faith makes roots of stone
There's more than meets the eye… To Ethan Sky
Ethan Schuyler spent the springs in motion
Dancing just to prove he was alive
Storms would twirl him round, But he never hit the ground
The only joy he knew was to survive
Ethan Schuyler thirsted every summer
He drew his deepest breath in desert breeze
Though scorched from day to day, He withered not away
Nothing could bring Ethan to his knees… Ethan Sky
Chorus/Bridge
So, Ethan Schuyler saw 500 autumns
He thanked Earth & Sky for all the pain
The shadows that he cast
Gave refuge from the past
He’s standing like a castle in the rain… Ethan Sky
