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 ?
