War
03:48

You can tell a lot about a man
Just by looking at his hands
You can read between the lines about
Hard times
If you listen past the laughter
If you listen long enough
All the strength and the pain
Come from all this fighting
All this War
You can tell a man has been to war
When he closes every door
One who doesn’t wanna talk
When he doesn’t wanna fight anymore
Maybe the battle left him small
Hiding behind his own great wall
Maybe he left his voice behind
Now he wants yours
And it’s War
Then there’s the man who learns to love
The man who rises up above
The man who reaches out a hand
To pull you up, a better man
In this War
If you want to steal me and be stolen
Then I’m yours
If you wanna steal my voice
Then this is War
War

Anger is a Curtain
03:15
|
|||
Always got my hands up
Always got my back up
But why do I fight?
Anger is a curtain
And what’s behind it is what’s real
And it’s what I feel
We bicker and we shout
We sell the gun shops out
We never listen, oh no no no
We live in cold hard fear
Can’t let it go now
Can’t lay it down and walk away
And it makes the days long
We bicker and we shout
We sell the gun shops out
We never listen, oh no no no
We live in cold hard fear
I’m wrong I’m red and I’m ready but I’m not ready
I’m wrong I’m red and I’m ready but I’m not ready
Wanna be alone now
Where I can hide myself away
And wait for this to pass
We bicker and we shout
We sell the gun shops out
We never listen, oh no no no
We live in cold hard fear

Corner
03:36

Look at you on the corner
On the corner of your life
Look at you contemplating, contemplating
Left or right
You could run, you could stay
You could say you’ll meet me on the other side
Look at you on the corner
Look at you from the side
There’s no place
No place for you to hide
Look at my candle burning
Candle burning through the night
This candle isn’t melting
And I know something isn’t right
I could run, I could stay
I could say I’ll wait for you another day
Look at my candle burning
Burning through the night
This candle isn’t melting
And I know something isn’t right
Corner Corner with someone on each side
Corner Corner, you’ve got no place to hide
Oh life isn’t made up of only corners you know
There are other kinds of angles in there too and
I can only be in one place I cannot be anywhere else
I cannot be with anyone else but you
I don’t know which way to go
Standing on the corner in the cold
Wheels are spinning in the snow
And I am on the corner all alone
Look at me on the corner
Look at me from the side
There’s no place
No place for me to hide
Look at you on the corner
Look at you on the corner
Look at me on the corner

Find Your Voice With Me
03:32
|
|||
When you have lost your way
When your heart is broke
When every word you try to say makes you choke
Oh baby, find find find your voice with me
And it was our first vow
To find a way
To make each other our best selves somehow
Oh baby, find find find your voice with me
Maybe one day all this pain will abate
Until then I will be your safe place
Baby I’m more home with you than I’ve ever been
So it’s you and me against the world
I will love you deep
Love you true
All the things about you no one knew
So baby, find find find your voice with me

Oh For the Children
03:44
|
|||
Oh for the children learning their place
Oh for the children in this slow motion race
Oh for the desperate, trying to get it right
Learning that survival that survival is a fight, fight, fight, fight
Cover your face, cover your face, cover your face
Cover your face, cover your face, cover your face
When the memory comes in the middle of the night
The sensation of a body up against you, warm and right
The distance over time from that moment until now
And the desperate, lonely ache it still causes you somehow
Cover your face, cover your face, cover your face
Cover your face, cover your face, cover your face, cover your face
Where is your home, where are you known?
How can you know, how you grow?
You live in fear, without your dear ones
So shed your tears for this sad year
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Alone
Oh for the nurses sick with fright
Oh for the little ones, whose future is bright
Oh for the nona whose grandkids don’t come ‘round
The inmates burying the dead in the ground
Cover your face, cover your face, cover your face
Cover your face, cover your face, cover your face, cover your face
Cover your face, cover your face, cover your face
Cover your face, cover your face, cover your face
