This is my life story, in the form of a cumulative song.

Can You Strum?
Copyright © 2010 Bret Hesla. bret.hesla@gmail.com

1. Can you strum your deepest dreams on a banjo hand-me-down?
Can you strum your deepest dreams like me?
Can you strum your deepest dreams on a banjo hand-me-down?
Can you strum your deepest dreams … like me?

2. Can you sauna with your love on a redwood bench of fire?
Can you sauna with your love like me?
Can you sauna with your love on a redwood bench of fire?
Can you sauna with your love,
Can you strum your deepest dreams … like me?

3. Can you build a house of straw that will stand against the rain?

4. Can you hold a baby girl with a whisper in her ear?

5. Can you feel a broken heart that will not quite go away?

6. Can you help to build that ring where all people come to sing?
