Lyrics

What is Mine
Ross Vick

Verse 1: Born of the edge of the Baby Boom
o jungle war to fight No Flights to the moon
Assassinations became routine And left us looking for what life really means

Verse 2: Now we are Wrecking our families at record pace We?re buying Harley?s to quit the race I have to laugh at the Irony
Of where we are going and what we leave

We?re refugees a drift in time
We?re too concerned with ?What is Mine?
And ?What is Mine? will do us in
Unless we start it all over again
and Try to do it right this time
And start sharing ?What is Mine?
Or ?What is Mine? will do us in
Until we learn how to love (one another / ourselves) again

Verse 3: We?re collectors of worthless things
Stock portfolios and broken dreams
Our children now have their parents to raise
And we find that we are the ones
trying to make the grade

God?s in our wallet and in our garage
Our happy homes are all a mirage
We?re earthly rich and we?re spiritually spent
We don?t recognize what is heaven
and what heaven sent

Chorus:

Bridge: It would be so nice
to get to sleep one night
and wake to find ?What is Mine?
has been in my heart all the time
And love was not that hard to find

Verse 5: We try to self evaluate
And what we find we really hate
We've had too much and much too little
Time to figure out what we're all about
When we get through evaluating
We kick ourselves and start blaming
Everything and Everybody
It is such a shame that we cannot see
