Leader of the Band
by: Dan Fogelberg
An only child alone and wild,
A cabinet maker's son
His hands were meant for different work
And his heart was known to none
He left his home and went his lone
And solitary way
And he gave to me a gift I know
I never can repay
A quiet man of music,
Denied a simpler fate
He tried to be a soldier once,
But his music wouldn't wait
He earned his love through discipline,
A thundering velvet hand
His gentle means of sculpting souls
Took me years to understand
The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs through my instrument and his song is in my soul
My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man
I'm just a living legacy to the leader of the band
My brother's lives were different
For they heard another call
One went to Chicago
And the other to St Paul
And I'm in Colorado
When I'm not in some hotel
Living out this life I've chose
And come to know so well
I thank you for the music
And your stories of the road
I thank you for the freedom
When it came my time to go
I thank you for the kindness
And the times when you got tough
And papa, I don't think
I said I love you near enough
The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs through my instrument and his song is in my soul
My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man
I'm just a living legacy to the leader of the band
I am a living legacy to the leader of the band

Oo I enjoyed my experience there, always great memories. I have retired from been a Bolero nowadays haha and bless you too.

OMG :D Was that you singing?
If so, you are really good. I think you have one beautiful voice.
In all honesty, I think you have a lot of potential, but I'm not sure if many people know that song. Make a more popular cover, and I think you will really be able to soar :)
