FEEL THE ECHOES

You say, I don’t know anymore, I say, you’re right.
You say, I don’t care anymore. Together we must fight.

When the sun comes up again
And we feel it warm our skin
Let’s do our best not to pretend
Till we meet our end

There’s no love like those younger days
We feel the echoes still today
From some place way beyond the stars
We feel the echoes, feel the echoes, we feel the echoes

You say you feel so all alone,
Let me hold you tonight.
Take my hand, we’ll make it through
Lockstep for this life

There’s no love like those younger days
We feel the echoes still today
From some place way beyond the stars
We feel the echoes, feel the echoes, we feel the echoes

When the sun comes up again
And we feel it warm our skin
Let’s do our best not to pretend
Till we meet our end

There’s no love like those younger days
We feel the echoes still today
From some place way beyond the stars
We feel the echoes
 

There’s no love like those younger days
We feel the echoes still today
From some place way beyond the stars
We feel the echoes 

There’s no love like those younger days
We feel the echoes
We feel the echoes
We feel the echoes 

Who knows how long we have 
Till we meet out end, Till we meet our end 
There’s no love like those younger days 
We feel the echoes, Feel the echoes

BEFORE THE GUNS 

Not so idle threats take place behind those steel doors 
Intimidation to escalation, the likelihood of a holy war  
Politicians getting nervous, TV news ratings soar  
Any day now, any day now, history repeats it’s worst mistake  

Before the guns we must fight,
Convince ourselves it’s not right  
Before the guns we must claim,
The call to love and not to blame,
The call to love and not to blame  

Before the guns, 
Before the guns we must fight  
Before the guns,
Before the guns, it’s not right  

The echoes of the mothers who lost their sons and daughters  
All the speeches and new monuments,
pay tribute to their slaughter and in the end it’s all the same,
we’ve got denial and we act real brave  
We bow our heads to amazing grace, 
the president says God bless this place  

Before the guns we must fight, convince ourselves it’s not right.
Before the guns we must claim
The call to love and not to blame,
The call to love and not to blame  

Before the guns,
Before the guns before the guns we must fight  
Before the guns,
Before the guns, it’s not right  

Will the earth hold up? Will the sea turn red with blood?  
Will the air grow bitter, from a single blast  

Not so idle threats take place behind those steel doors 
Intimidation to escalation, the likelihood of a bloody war  
Politicians eat their words, TV news ratings soar  
Any day now, any day now history repeats its worst mistake,  history repeats its worst mistake  

Before the guns we must fight,
Convince ourselves it’s not right  
Before the guns we must claim,
the call to love and not to blame, 
the call to love and not to blame  

Before the guns, before the guns we must fight  
Before the guns, before the guns it’s not right  
Before the guns, before the guns we must fight  
Before the guns, Before the Guns, it’s not right  
We must fight,  It’s not right,  We must fight.
