Brand New Day - Trevor Hall

[Verse 1]
Don't fall asleep in the snow
Come up up up from below
Wipe the sleep from your eyes oh my my
Shake the dust off your hands and
Come run free on this land
If you want to survive ay ay
It's time to wake up and sing
It's time to wake up and sing ayyy
[Chorus]
Put the crown on the king
Put the crown on the king
Put the crown on the king yeah
Live your life
Come rise up come give love
What you waiting for
It's a brand new day
All along here and now
What you waiting for
It's a brand new day
[Verse 2]
Now fallen soldiers arise
Raise your hands towards the sky
I tell ya mommas alive
Lift up your love to the sky
The sky don't question why the strength is of another kind
Don't look around just look inside
Aint no lie it never dies so
Were gonna wake up and sing
Were gonna wake up and sing yeah ahh
[Chorus]
Put the crown on the king
Put the crown on the king
Put the crown on the king yeah
Live your life
Come rise up come give love
What you waiting for
It's a brand new day
All along here and now
What you waiting for
It's a brand new day
[Verse 3]
Oh ah oh ah oh ah ohhh oh oh
Oh ah oh ah oh ah ohhh oh oh
Oh ah oh ah oh ah ohhh oh oh
Oh ah oh ah oh ah ohhh oh oh
Sun coming up and everyone knows
Holding on to a time it's time to let go
This aint for the money and not for the show
Like a river come down like a river come flow
I know you know we live we see
Were running to the rhythm and the rhythm don't sleep
Cook up the mixture tell all the listeners
This is the sound and we've come to listen
[Chorus]
Come rise up come give love
What you waiting for
It's a brand new day
All along here and now
What you waiting for
It's a brand new day

Quote of the....year

"Knowledge is wonderful but imagination is even better."
-Albert Einstein

Kill Your Heroes and Fly

 
Well I met an old man
dying on a train.
No more destination
no more pain.
Well he said
"one thing, before I graduate...
never let your fear decide your fate."

I say ya kill your heroes and
fly, fly, baby don't cry.
No need to worry cuz
everybody will die.
Every day we just
go, go, baby don't go.
Don't you worry we
love you more than you know.

Well the sun one day will
leave us all behind.
Unexplainable sightings
in the sky.
Well I hate to be
the one to ruin the night.
Right before your, right before your eyes.

I say ya kill your heroes and
fly, fly, baby don't cry.
No need to worry cuz
everybody will die.
Every day we just
go, go, baby don't go.
Don't you worry we
love you more than you know.

I Was Walking Far From Home by Iron & Wine


I was walking far from home
Where the names were not burned along the wall
Saw a building high as heaven
But the door was so small, door was so small
I saw rainclouds, little babies
And a bridge that had tumbled to the ground
I saw sinners making music
I've dreamt of that sound, dreamt of that sound
I was walking far from home
But I carried your letters all the while
I saw lovers in a window
Whisper, "Want me like time, want me like time"
I saw sickness, blooming fruit trees
I saw blood and a bit of it was mine
I saw children in a river
But their lips were still dry, lips were still dry
I was walking far from home
And I found your face mingled in the crowd
Saw a boatful of believers sail off
Talking too loud, talking too loud
I saw sunlight on the water
Saw a bird fall like a hammer from the sky
Saw an old woman on the speed train
She was closing her eyes, closing her eyes
I saw flowers on the hillside
And a millionaire pissing on the lawn
Saw a prisoner take a pistol
And say, "Join me in song, join me in song"
Saw a car crash in the country
Where the prayers run like weeds along the road
I saw strangers stealing kisses
Giving only their clothes, only their clothes
Saw a white dog chase its tail
And a pair of hearts carved into a stone
I saw kindness and an angel
Crying, "Take me back home, take me back home"
Saw a highway, saw an ocean
I saw widows in the temple to the law
Naked dancers in the city
How they spoke for us all, spoke for us all
Saw loaded linen tables
And a motherless colt, then it was gone
I saw hungry brothers waiting
With a radio on, radio on
I was walking far from home
Where the names were not burned along the wall
Saw a wet road form a circle
And it came like a call, came like a call
From the Lord
