A drifter set in motion This tale of love and devotion Reluctant locomotion so wild From a tattered and weakened state He chose to liberate Crossed the line into reason broke laws Julien just began one day Got arrested for holding a sign And trying to speak his mind He used his power they used force He said 'we're all of one family' Then demanded equality They slammed his head on the concrete we cried Julien my dear friend ciao I have often been told Of scoundrels and so and so's They trade their life for a pot of gold true crime But other folks I have seen Not blinded by guilt and greed They understand what they really need they shine Julien was one of them Now it's alright I'll still fight for you ciao From this throat that I'm singing through The shade of my love is blue Even the air reminds me of you today Rich with humility A thick possibility Coats my skin with the smell of this prairie storm You're in this storm aren't you Julien? You're in this storm aren't you?
