Lyrics
[Start]
[Bossa Nova Intro]
(Ooooooo do do ooooo)
(Ooooooo do do ooooo)
(La La di La oooo ohhh)
[Verse]
On a warm summer evening in Iowa,
He sits alone, the world just passes by,
Medicaid moves so slow, and he wonders
why,
His silent fight, no one can hear his cry.
[Fill]
[Chorus]
(Zeeee Weeee Oooooo oooooo)
(Do do do zeeee woooo do do oooooo)
Oh, who sees the pain in his eyes?
In the quiet of twilight skies,
Life goes on, but he's left behind
,
In a system, so unkind.
[Verse 2]
Fields of gold, a symbol of what could be,
Teeth are called luxury bones, it's absurdity,
He feels like a ghost in the bureaucracy,
Year after year, lost in the maze, endlessly.
[Chorus]
(Zeeee Weeee Oooooo oooooo)
(Do do do zeeee woooo do do oooooo)
Oh, who sees the pain in his eyes?
In the quiet of twilight skies,
Life goes on, but he's left behind,
In a system, so unkind.
[Interlude]
[Bridge]
(Ooooo oooooo)
Silent fields, he wonders why,
Ooooo oooooo
Care seems so far away,
Ooooo oooooo
In the land where sunsets lie
,
He fights another day.
(Ahhhhhhhhhh )
[Verse 3]
His body weak, yet still his spirit bright,
Through forms and waits, enduring every night
,
Dehumanized but holding onto light
,
In this fight, he dreams of taking flight.
[Chorus]
(Zeeee Weeee Oooooo oooooo)
(Do do do zeeee woooo do do oooooo)
Oh, who sees the pain in his eyes?
In the quiet of twilight skies,
Life goes on, but he's left behind,
In a system, so unkind.
[Outro]
On a warm summer evening in Iowa
,
He sits alone, the world just passes by,
Medicaid moves so slow, and he wonders why,
His silent fight, freedom to Flourish
In
My Iowa.
(Zeeee Weeee Oooooo oooooo)
(Do do do zeeee woooo do do oooooo)
[End]
