Where I Come From

from BORN A GENIUS by John Pippus

Digital Track

We recorded this track first. Back in late February 2010. We were just going to do a single but Adam (the producer) and I were having so much fun, and I had quite a few unrecorded songs that were all 'of a piece', that we decided to do an album.

about

I found a cool guitar riff and then made up some nonsense syllables that fit the pattern, then those syllables morphed into: "we-believe-in-what-we-say". The lyrics grew from there.

lyrics

Undecided, never sure of where you want to stay
Never taking chances, you don’t know no other way

Where I come from
We believe in what we say

Waiting for a signal that will tell you where to go
What you got inside you it's all you need to know

Where I come from
We believe in what we say

Make a move now let it take you
You’ll never be the same
World’s shining all around you
Walk into the flame

Where I come from
We believe in what we say

Undecided, never sure of where you want to stay
Afraid of making choices, afraid you’ll have to pay

Where I come from
We believe in what we say
