A Changing of the Guard

It’s been a long time you’ve been holding on to that power
But those old ideas can’t solve the issues of our modern hour
It was a good life, lording over the fall
The tighter the squeeze, the quicker it all crumbles
It’s been coming for awhile
You can drag your feet but they’re going out of style
Ain’t no reason for alarm
It’s just the changing of the guard
It starts with one voice
All alone in the crowd
Equipped with a vision for the world and the courage to testify out loud
Just as that soapbox
Starts to feel too high
Someone slips their hand in yours and that dream is amplified
And they all start to gather ‘round
What once was two is ten thousand now
Stronger together than apart
An army of incendiary hearts will spark a changing of the guard
It might feel difficult this new way
It’s oh so hard to shed the past
All the relics of the old world
Weren’t built to last
Bring on the new times
Cheers to the brand new day
Where we love on each other, holy mother
We all came from the same place
We were written in the stars
You can change your clothes but it’s carved in our hearts
One nation under art
Get your boots laced up my babies
‘Cause we’re the changing of the guard
Changing of the Guard (x3)

Call Your Mother

I was born from a woman’s dreams
Out of nothing she gave me everything
I wouldn’t be a shadow of a man without her love
I was born from a woman’s dreams
I was raised by a woman’s strength
She told me I could be anything
She gave me the tools and she sent me on my way
I was raised by a woman’s strength
You’re Sedona and the California heat
You’re the roots of our family tree
I’ll shout if from the mountaintops if only you should know
That I love you
With all my heart and soul
The world has a woman’s soul
Listen closely and she’ll tell you all she knows
It rustles through the trees and in all the things that grow
The world has a woman’s soul
You’re Sedona and the California heat
You’re the roots of our family tree
I’ll shout if from the mountaintops if only you should know
That I love you
With all my heart and soul
You’re Sedona and the California heat
You’re the roots of our family tree
I’ll shout if from the mountaintops if only you should know
I’ll be with you this lifetime as in all the ones before
If you need an answer call your mother, she will know
Yes, I love you
And I thank you
Yes, I love you
With all my heart and soul

Dancing in the Aisles

I was raised in the fold
Singing sweet songs to the Lord
I never thought to ask anyone why
All I knew, I had a soul
And these notes made it feel whole
I wanted to sing those sweet songs all the time
Like Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well I grew up and left that all behind
Don’t need Jesus
To be a believer
Just wanna sing these sweet songs till I die
Now I don’t know who’s right or wrong
About what happens when we’re gone
That’s a conversation for another time
I just wanna make ‘em smile
Get ‘em dancing in the aisles
Just in case we only get one shot at life
So Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Give me music to pass the time
Don’t know about heaven
Or if we come back to earth again
I just wanna sing these sweet songs till I die
There is no right way to life
You can practice all the scriptures but that don’t mean that they make you right
All this time, all this time
We’ve all been the same inside
The same inside
Well this may be bold of me
Some might say it’s heresy
But I know we’ve got all we need inside
Either way let’s make the most
Of the moment that we know
Just in case there’s not a spirit in the sky
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Go and worship what makes you feel alive
What we’re made of
Is what will save us
I just wanna sing these sweet songs till I die

You want to play music in modern times?
Well, here’s some hints to help you make up your mind
It’s gonna take your money, it’ll take all of your pride
And if you’re lucky, you’ll play out enough to barely get by
You’ll be away from your home
Your life becomes the road
Gotta pay your dues
Playing to empty rooms
With people’s backs to you
Getting paid in booze
Oh you better love it too
You finally start selling a ticket or two
And for the first time you’ve got money and pride you can afford to lose
One night you’re killing, playing for an attentive crowd
And the next, the venue owns tell you to turn the fuck down
You get used to being alone
While some starts to grow
Playing to better rooms
Feel it pulse and bloom
Hey, have you heard the news?
You might make it through!
You better love that too (you better love that too) (x2)
They say “Boy, when you gonna make it?”
“When can I tell my friends that we shared a beer?”
Well we’re not quite sure how to take it
We’re already here!
Already here
So now you made it, yeah you kissed the sky
And your idols turned out to be your friends in disguise
All the time spent on the road
Was the fuel that helped you grow
Yeah to push on through
Find a solid groove
Ditch what wasn’t you
Leaving only truth
Oh you better love that too (you better love that too) (x4)

Running Free

I've got a fever for the wild and restless
I've got a feeling there are things unseen
Cheers to the years we've been tried and tested
Here's to the fears that inspire dreams
On the way, we walked along the valley
There were days with no escape
All the times that we held each other tightly
Waiting for the night to fade
We are free, running free
With no idea what the future could hold only that we believe
I heard a tale of the strongest bested
Felled by the one who was half their size
It ain't the righteous who are always blessed
Nor the timid absolved of pride
We've been through the darkest of our caverns
Digging in till we reached the other side
Coming out to wash ourselves in water
To be swept up in the ever-rising tide
We are free, running free
With no idea what the future could hold only that we believe
We are free, running free
All we know, wherever we go is where we need to be
(Instrumental Break)
We are free, running free
With no idea what the future could hold only that we believe
We are free, running free
All we know, wherever we go is where we need to be

Houses of Sand

Who among you are tired?
Yeah it’s been a long road
To see a world you desire
To fix a system that we broke
Sometimes it seems
Like change is coming slow
But we’ve got this dream
And we won’t lose hope
No we won’t
When the sky goes dark and the streets ring out
With the voices of the damned
Watch the rivers rise and the rain come down
On your houses made of sand
When you find the world’s no longer watering the seeds of your belief
Don’t forget that change is a ladder to everything that’s out of reach
Everything that’s out of reach
Every torch burns a fire
That can set the world ablaze
Illuminates the desire
To discover a new way
There is a road
That leads to the unknown
When we light it up
It’s sure to carry us home
When the sky goes dark and the streets ring out
With the voices of the damned
Watch the rivers rise and the rain come down
On your houses made of sand
When you find the world’s no longer watering the seeds of your belief
Don’t forget that change is a ladder to everything that is out of reach
This is where we all were meant to be (we were meant to be)
And we’re prepared to fight
As long as there’s this inequality
We’ll fill the night with our cry
Make some noise
Raise your voice
This is who we are and we won’t stay silent
Make some noise
Raise your voice
Let them see the power of a world united (x4)
‘Cause this is who we are and we won’t stay silent
