about

The song is a story of a guy who was born into an abruptly disadvantaged life circumstance but overcame his adversities through the awakening of an unassuming guru disguised in the form of a cartel gang buster in Mexico.

lyrics

He was, born by a father that had no place to stay
And out of a mother that had restless ways
Then for the preacher he sold his days
And lived a life of praise less ways, he got

Gunned down in Mexico by a cartel sage
If not for that day he would shine, short of rays, short of rays

Then from his broken past he found his days
Taken up by purpose in place of rage
Tracked down his inner truth through troubled youth
And gave songs to those who caught the blues, he got

Gunned down in Mexico by a cartel sage
If not for that day he would shine, short of rays, short of rays

Was blinded short sighted, caught up in a frozen time
The blindness subsided, gave it up when the senses tired

Gunned down in Mexico by a cartel sage
If not for that day he would shine, short of rays, short of rays
