Inspired by my good friend and band mate, saxophone player extraordinaire, builder, craftsman and mechanic (etc.) I wrote this song as a tribute to him. Blighters_rock added drums, thank you!
Renaissance Man
‹ Lyrics
Verse
Growin’ up in a big house with the woods outside the back
Young boy curiosity got the better of the cat
Outside was solace and many ways to spend your time
Natures wonders of the world to occupy your mind
Adventuring with or without a plan
It’s the dawn of A Renaissance Man
Chorus
He’s a Renaissance Man; More than a seeker
He’s a Renaissance Man; More than adventure
He’s a Renaissance Man; More than explorer
A Renaissance Man
Verse
Puts things together and he takes things apart
Learned car mechanics to build the fastest car
Trains at the dojo to perfect his marshal art
Trains at the range to shoot straight and shoot far
Creates metal sculptures that come from his heart
Chorus
He’s a Renaissance Man; More than clever
He’s a Renaissance Man; More than artistic
He’s a Renaissance Man; More than accomplished
A Renaissance Man
Bridge
Comes out of the darkness, human spirit reborn
Seeks experience, wisdom, beauty and form
Dines from a bag or in elegant class
Drinks margarita’s with a sugar rimmed glass
Verse
We became acquainted through a craigslist ad
Lookin’ to find a player to join our growing band
When he plays that sax he’s got magic in his hands
Every day since then he’s shown what he has to give
He’s more than a player he’s a life long friend
Chorus
He’s a Renaissance Man; Musical performer
He’s a Renaissance Man; More than entertainer
He’s a Renaissance Man; More than improvisor
A Renaissance Man
He’s a Renaissance Man; More than adventure
He’s a Renaissance Man; More than accomplished
He’s a Renaissance Man; More than a friend
A Renaissance Man
