Coyote Grace - Laramie lyrics

Ten years ago it was, blood froze over the old sea October never was so cold for a boy down in Laramie Oh, thunderstorms of outrage raining tears cross the land Seems we had to watch a white boy die to finally make a stand CHORUS: Would you give your life to be Something beautiful and free It could've been you, it could've been me... in Laramie Apple of his mama's eye, boy smile and proudly dance away The light of his beautiful life eclipsed too soon on this day Oh, they tied him to a split-rail fence and left him there to die Lonely as a scarecrow set against the morning sky CHORUS: Would you give your life to be Something beautiful and free It could've been you, it could've been me... in Laramie Ten years ago it was, and no one will ever forget his name Or the gospel of the shepard boy, the living truth that we are all the same Oh, he sure was not the first one, and he hasn't been the last Ask yourself has much has changed since those ten years have pa**ed CHORUS: Would you give your life to be Something beautiful and free It could've been you, it could've been me
