about
The term folk culture can mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people. I wrote this song during a crazy time in our nation's history where Bible believing Christians, free thinkers and those standing up for medical freedoms etc where heavily persecuted and at times ostracized.
Folk culture for me means the opposite to mainstream, pop culture.
It can be life in the margins, life between the steps.
Being in the world but not of the world.
Nowhere near a city on a Saturday night
I'm here in the valley feeling all right
T.V's in the corner but it's not going on
Don't want to be lied to and life just rolls on
Folk Culture, Folk Culture, Folk Culture
Honesty is something that is underemployed
Propaganda's something that I want to avoid
Sunlight on the mountain it's a beautiful site
The Bible's on the table I'm feeling the light
Folk Culture, Folk Culture, Folk Culture
Jesus is my Saviour and The Bible's my sword
I'll try to show to others they should call on The Lord
Salvation the greatest thing that you'll ever find
Press on to the goal, leave troubles behind
Sunlight in the corner and I have no debt
Red wine in the casket and the tables are set
I'm struggling with sorrow but held up by The Son
God He has a plan for me I'll just keep rolling on
Folk Culture, Folk Culture, Folk Culture
I like to ring me Mother on a Saturday night
Check to see she's healthy and she's feeling alright
For when I was younger She sure cared about me
Taught me love for others, taught me empathy
Folk Culture, Folk Culture, Folk Culture
