Story behind the song
Being born and even dying... we all want to be delivered A little bit of Jack Kerouac
Lyrics
Some of em will go mad by the numbers Some of em will go mad by the word Some of em will pretend to lose reason And some of em will lose reason anyway. Some of em will go mad by the numbers Some of em will go mad by the sea Some of em on the highest pek mountain Some of em will go mad by degrees Chorus And oh she cries deliver me Oh she cries deliver me I got a life to live Some of em will never touch beauty Some of em will not see the truth Some of em will be called to duty And some of em will be lost in youth Some of em will go mad by the money Some of em will go made by their fame Some of em will bring this world honet And some of em will rise above this game Chorus Some of em wil llive for tomorrow Some of em only for today Some of them will bring this world sorrow Some of them will ighten the way CHorus

Sorry I'm late bro .. this has a real concert feel to it .. a bit of a Richie Havens feel .. I could see you doing this on stage at a big outdoor concert at night .. Really good work here. Well done sir. Mike
