Hey Brother - lyrics by JC
Hey brother, what did you really hear
Hey brother, maybe it wasn’t so clear
Hey man, What did you say
Before they broke it up, And took you away
Hey brother, What do you really fear
​
Hey mama, what was on your mind
Hey mama, what did you think you would find
Hey girl, are you makin 'em pay
For sendin' drops of rain, on your wedding day
Hey mama, mama, how could you be so unkind
… I know what you're thinking…
​
Well they’ve taken your silver and they're comin' for more
But if the go for your diamonds there's gonna be war
Hell ya there's gonna be war
​
Hey brother, I see you got you a gun
Hey brother, I see the war has begun
Hey man, what do you say
Can you put aside the hate, maybe just for today
Hey brother, hey brother what are you hiding from
Like father like son
​
Hey brother, what do you really fear
Hey brother, what do you really fear
Hey brother, what do you really fear
All the People - lyrics by Todd Gotlieb
Look all around, and see the frowns, of all the faces of all the people
Stories the same, such a shame, the empty eyes of all the people
Cause if you think that life just happens this way
Then you can't know
There's more to it than being OK
I wonder why so many people never try
To find the love that they can call the one
A shorter time or thinking fate is just a line
You can have or have it if you choose to run
Cause if you live like life just happens this way, then you won't know
There's more to it than being OK so have it all , set yourself free
Life full of lies then you'll understand why
That you can't live with someone else like all the people
You can try you can hide from the feelings deep inside
But you just can't...
Take your time look for the signs, worth it if you hold out for a while
In the end, heart has to mend, f they made you anything but smile
Cause if you live like life just happens this way, then you won't know
There's more to it than being OK so have it all , set yourself free
Life full of lies then you'll understand why
That you can't live with someone else, like all the people
You can try you can hide from the feelings deep inside
But you just can't live with someone else, like all the people
Life full of lies then you'll understand why
That you can't live with someone else, like all the people
You can try you can hide from the feelings deep inside
But you just can't live
Away From You - lyrics by Tirzah Tward
Tryin’ to buy us some time, just wanting to not let go
Thinking a little ahead, a little something, somethin’ to cushion the blow
I know my faith made you weak, it’s a truth that can’t be ignored
But devotion ain’t for the meek, I guess it’s something I should’ve mentioned before
I moved mountains for you, every bit of my heart to see us through
I moved mountains for you, to find you there in her arms
I moved mountains for you , so many things I can’t undo
And I got nothing to lose, so I’m walkin’ away… away from you
My soul slowly turnin’ to clay, skin wearing down to the bone
Hurtin’… to watch our world just slippin’ away
Do almost anything, anything to keep from livin’ alone
We carried it on so long… so well, would be easy just ridin’ it down
Too many rumors as far as I… I can tell
To be puttin’ on faces, hiding my aces, lost enough to carry that crown
Cause I crossed oceans for you, holding my breath just to see us through
I crossed oceans for you, to find you there in her arms
I crossed oceans for you, going beyond the deepest blue
And I got nothing to lose, so I’m walking away… away from you
Hate feeling you in my veins
Always leaving me wanting for more
Now that the pieces are rearranged… I feel free to…
Sing my song… sing my song
Sing my song, sing my song, sing my song (yeah I feel free)
Sing my song (I feel), sing my song (yeah I feel)
Sing my song, sing my song, sing my song
I moved mountains for you, everything in my heart to see us through
I moved mountains for you, to find you there in her arms
Yes I moved mountains for you, so many things I can’t undo
And I got nothing to lose, so I’m walkin’ away… away from you
I crossed oceans for you, holding my breath just to see us through
I crossed oceans for you, to find you there in her arms
Yes I crossed oceans for you, going beyond the deepest blue
Now I’ve got nothing left to keep me here, so I’m walking… away from you
