Ballad Of Bruce Lee

The match on Han’s island features well known warriors,
really a recruiting tool, for Han’s thugs and couriers.
Bruce finds the underground tunnel, scores kidnapped
and shanghaied,
Bruce against 100, no one will realize
the little guy takes the big guy, if the little guy
keeps on coming.

‘Empty your mind...be like water my friend...
Water can flow or it can crash...
...it's a process of continuing growth...
Under the sky, under the heavens, there is but one family...’

IMPNATION RADIO
Steve April is possibly and most likely the best chronicler at IndieMusicPeople. He delves and submerges into the past and captures elements and snapshots of people of the past bringing you and me interesting tidbits about their background and accomplishments, and doing it with passion like no other. IF one goes to his artist page here at IMPNATION you will find a selection of his songs that carry that theme. Steve April has a passion and love for putting lyrics and music together and intertwining history, events and humanity into his compositions. Bruce Lee is no exception, digging deep into Bruce Lee's past and draws you into the Ballad with such finesse and wordsmithing very few are able to do. Steve weaves this journey of Bruce Lee in a capsulized format and captures parts of his accomplishments and colorful life. It is as if Steve waves his magic wand and brings us another gem of a song, and a bit of history too.
