How do you feel when you've stuffed you face? What do you know about winning the rat race? Would you dare speak to Jesus, if he ever showed his face? That's what I wanna know Where would you go if you could go to any place of your choosing? How much have you used up, and how much are you using? Would you fight for good and stand up for truth, even if it meant losing? Who will you be? Does someone pull your strings? Who owns your soul? I wanna know

Sego Lily 05:07
Monkey flower Baby doll Seems like it's been so long since I seen you come back home Sego lily Baby doll Maybe we should take a walk way up above the houses People look like ants down there, Come on let's go let go Sego lily

I've seen the coastlines and the space in between, Trying to find someplace to be my own I've seen the interstate Lord I've seen every single state, In the lower forty-eight I've seen the fields of wheat grass rollin' the wilderness stolen, And the same old scene again But in this freedom I've found every town looks like the last town, I still got you under my skin. So this time it's for real I'm truckin down the hill Down the canyon around the mountain into your town I've dreamt this scene before Drifitn thru the door Of your house and home familiar streets to roam I've seen the lakes that look like oceans, Pressed forth with devotion But I could not find a friend. Seen the main streets of the heartland, Decay of the urban But what's old is new again So this time it's for real I'm truckin down the hill Down the canyon around the mountain into your town I've dreamt this scene before Drifitn thru the door Of your house and home familiar streets to roam Am I dreaming once more as I step thru the door Of that house that you own, baby I'm finally coming home I ain't dreaming for sure, baby open up the door Let me be with you once more

Riverbend 03:18
Riverbend I'm floating till the end You can watch me float on by Heaven send me a friend to float along with Make her a ten And when your discourse gets too serious, of great importance, please Make sure I'm not present. Cuz riverbend is where I been Shimmering ripples in the sunshine It don't end it curves back and then curves back again on it's way To the the coastline When those deep stone canyons, The occasional Manhattan Block the sunlight just keep floating on (whistling)

Black is night counting stars in the prairie sky We could never count that high Red is rose found in ponderosa grove And high on the mountain we'll know what lies on the other side. Oh love follow me to the west, we are free Heaven above and hell beneath The Homesteader somewhere between Darkest day and we give thanks for every drop of rain, That makes the desert bloom Whitest snows and down the canyon flows what that everything, Lusts for that precious dew Oh love be my bride help me live an honest life The good Lord will provide The Homesteader abides Heart of gold stay with me as we grow old Forget those eastern skies of coal Timberline, the freshest air one could ever find, and from stone & pine We'll build ourselves a home Oh love blessed are are Heaven above hell beaneath Our homestead somewhere between

Sweriwonbe 07:01
In the badlands of Escalante, in the red sand That's sweriwonbe On a high pass in the Wasatch with the wildcats, I wanna be that Henry ridgeline Spanish gold mine under a skyline Of bristlecone pine Below a deep cliff in San Rafael Swell watch the cloud drift Where they once dwelled Ooooh the landscape's haunted With the signs Of people tryin' To make it what they wanted Ooooh the landscape's haunted With the ghosts Of those who chose To live like they wanted Millcreek canyon, quaking aspen from stony land, Homestead abandoned From the north side to the south side it goes from bone dry To sub-alpine

Who are We 03:10
Every song has been written by now, Who are we to keep singing anyhow? Every word, all the words are circling like crows Who are we to think we know? We just keep singing songs we think we wrote. If you think everything has been done, well, I'm one to do it all over again Who are we to say when it ends?

about

Utah native Brad Hart could perhaps be described as having two great loves: the untamed wilds of the Inter-mountain West, and the sonic expanses of the modern musical landscape. These passions meet in the songs of "Sego Lily", a truly home-grown album evoking the red rock cliffs of canyon country and the sagebrush ocean of the Great Basin. Distinctly western but hardly country, at times dream-like and surreal without relying on the typical conventions of psychedelia, the album listens like a journey from the arid desert floor to the forested peaks above.
