The Code
by Stan Snow

When I was in my teens I used to listen to Todd Rundgren’s – Hermit of Mink Hollow album a lot. His songs were inspiring to me. As I began my quest to pursue the music business I learned that I had to believe in myself, and stay the course through thick and thin, if I ever expected to reach a level that I could be proud of, as a musician. Now, so many years later, I get to realize my dream of creating music to satisfy the music fan within.   The Code is about that adventure.   Never giving up. Making the ends meet.   Holding tight to your horizon.   Giving it time. Not losing faith……When it comes to music, and many other things in life, that is The Code…..for me. 

When the fire of youth is inside of you
You can see all the way to the land of dreams
But when the sky turns dark and the questions come
Can you still find a way to the dreams you’ve seen?

There’s a bridge, they say it’s too far
but you can’t believe the words they say
There’s a code, to make the ends meet
Hold tight to your horizon
Give it time, Don’t lose faith

When the morning light is upon your face
And the truth of your path settles down to rest
There may come a time when you can’t go on
And the fire of your youth is put to the test

There’s a road, you can follow
but you can’t foresee what’s waiting there
There’s a code, to make the ends meet
Hold tight to your horizon
Give it time, Don’t lose faith

Bridge / Solo

As the years roll on you will understand
There’s a void in your heart if you don’t believe
And when you stand at the edge of emptiness
You can choose not to lose all the dreams you seek

There’s a bridge, they say it’s too far
but you can’t believe the words they say
There’s a code, to make the ends meet
Hold tight to your horizon
Give it time, Don’t lose faith
