Accelerate

If the storm doesn't kill me the government will 
I've got to get that out of my head 
It's a new day today and the coffee is strong 
I've finally got some rest 


So a man's put to task and challenges 
I was taught to hold my head high 
Collect what is mine, 
Make the best of what today has 


Houston is filled with promise 
Laredo is a beautiful place 
Galveston sings like that song that I loved 
Its meaning has not been erased 


And so there are claims forgiven 
And so there are things that are gone 


Houston is filled with promise 
Laredo is a beautiful place 
Galveston sings like that song that I loved 
Its meaning has not been erased 


And some things, they fall to the wayside 
Their memory is yet to be still 
Belief has not filled me 
And so I am put to the test
