Trivia, story behind the song, etc.
Fire On The River This one was written with and at the home of my good friend David Grow who was living at the time in Paradise, California. This was one of those songs that I didn't fully understand as I was writing it but it was an extremely emotional experience. It was nearly cut from the record early on but Ed Tree convinced me to finish it. The vocal session with Dan Navarro and Gene Klosner turned into an in-depth discussion of The Monkees both singers have an alarming amount of Monkees trivia in their brains.

Lyrics
Hey you're not my keeper Let me be the man I am Take away these chains And let me call you friend I need to touch the fire to believe the pain Love released always will remain If you understand me Give me room enough to learn Light the candle for me Then let me take my turn I see the wisdom shining high upon your shelf But I need to feel the freedom for myself There¹s a fire on the river Running through my soul I need a chance to see Just where this road will take me From the mountain in the distance You can see me as I fall Keep the fire burning Until I reach the river's end No it won't be easy To carry on without you here No more hand to guide me No more shelter from the fear And no battle will be won or lost for me I must learn the lesson carefully There's a fire on the river Running through my soul I need a chance to see Just what your love means to me From the mountain in the distance You can see me as I fall Keep the fire burning Until I reach the river's end You took these walls and tore them all away And painted a window Hey you're not my keeper So help me see the man I am Underneath this shelter Lies the storm my heart is in So take away the colors from the face I see And let me touch the river Oh the river in me
