about

Mark Baumer was a vegan superhero. A poet, a committed activist, and the best son a dad (and mom) could ever have. I miss you every day, Mark!

lyrics

Verse 1
Walking down the road alone, I saw a country lost at home
A mission of hope carried me forth, I lived each day for all it was worth

A president came while I was away, I planned to counter him every day
Hate and division won’t carry us forth, come together and be a force

Chorus:

I wish I had just one more day, I know I had so much more to say.
I love my dad, I love my mom. I’ll miss my friends forever yon

Verse 2
My family back home sent me their love, I wished I got back to give them a hug
We all know what we think we know, but can we strive for a greater hope

Friends I lost along the way, but still I walked another day
Saving earth was what it’s about, some of the haters would jump and shout

Chorus:

I wish I had just one more day, I know I had so much more to say.
I love my dad, I love my mom. I’ll miss my friends forever yon

Verse 3
One hundred days of joy and pain, my feet moved ‘cross the fruited plain
A dirty hippy or something more, why can’t they see my higher road

My face and words live on today, I often wonder what people say
I gave it all held nothing back, but in the end was it done in vain

Chorus:

I wish I had just one more day, I know I had so much more to say.
I love my dad, I love my mom. I’ll miss my friends forever yon

[Instrumental break]

Verse 4
Walking down the road alone, I saw a country lost at home
A mission of hope carried me forth, I lived each day for all it was worth

My family back home sent me their love, I wish I got back to give them a hug
We all know what we know, but can we strive for a greater scope

Chorus:

If I had just one more day, I often wonder what I’d say
It hurts my dad, it hurts my mom. ‘Cause now I’m gone
