Ode to Ethan Schuyler
words and music by Chapman James
Ethan Schuyler fell upon a cliff side
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
Ethan helped them bury up their lives
Ethan Sky
(CH) When hopes are deeply sown
Faith makes roots of stone
There's more than meets the eye... to Ethan Sky
Ethan Schuyler spent the spring 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 in the summers
He drew his deepest breath in desert breeze
Scorched from day to day, he withered not away
Nothing could drive Ethan to his knees
Ethan Sky
(CHORUS)
Ethan Schuyler saw 500 autumns
He thanked the earth and sky for all the pain
The shadow that he casts brings refuge from the past
He's standing like a castle in the rain
Ethan Sky
