I'm starting this as a place to post songs that have personal meaning to each of us. Something that we can use as a way to express important parts of our personalities, or feelings that are active in our lives right now.
This one is by Kansas, off the Album "Power". I'm kinda coping with issues very much like these, and the 'third pretender' is very active in my life right now.
"Three Pretenders"
Three pretenders forced their entry
There wasn't time to defend or attack
Somewhere inside I held their fury
But one by one my defenses began to crack
The first became a voice from my childhood
Without a world to call his own
Asking questions but doubting the answers
And too confused to stand up and face it alone
I can feel my body tremble
Like an animal under the gun
Can you feel your body tremble
Look in and see the eyes of Three Pretenders
The second came a shadowy hustler
Selling anything not nailed to the ground
He put a price on my resistance
And if it's high, I know he'll be marking it down
The third became a mysterious traveler
Stormy words like sea-weathered sails
His life was scarred with peaks and valleys
A haunted kingdom crumbling against the gales
I can feel my body tremble
Like a child afraid of the dark
Can you feel your body tremble
Look in and see the eyes of Three Pretenders
Written by Steve Morse, Steve Walsh and Billy Greer.
Barth
