I was a child once
The fear of the world in my eyes
Far from the safety of the other side
I colored by numbers
Learned how to tie my own shoes
Like all the others I was just
Prayed I'd make it through
Prayed I would make it through
Oh mother look how your boy turned out
Three hundred miles from that small town
You never stopped believing
Oh daddy, it hurt to watch you walking out
But understand it made me stronger now
And so satisfied, so full of pride
Thank you here from, from the other side
I'll always remember
The kids and how'd mean they'd been
Eleven years old and I could, could not fit in
But I made it through high school
And college according to plan
The pressure was never greater to become a man
Would I become a man?
Oh mother look how your boy turned out
Three hundred miles from that small town
You never stopped believing
Oh daddy, it hurt to watch you walking out
But understand it made me stronger now
And so satisfied, so full of pride
Thank you here from, from the other side
Thank you here from, from the other side
Mother look how your boy turned out
Three hundred miles from that small town
Dad it hurt to watch you walking out
Hear the piano do the crying no
For all the preachers and the teachers, now
For all the ones who never let me down
I'm so satisfied, so full of pride
Standing here on, on the other side
Thank you here from, from the other side
Thank you here from, from the other side
Here on, on the other side I'm taking my time
There's nothing to fear
There's nothing to worry about
On the other side
I remember when I thought I'd never find
The other side
Run Away Lyrics – Brendan James
Can you feel the room spinning
Can you feel what's happening
Walls are caving, colors change
The red you're wearing turns to gray
Oceans rise and oceans subside
Seasons give up and so have I
Holding you is holding you back
From what you could be
What you could have
Run away, run away before it's too late
Run away, before it's too late
Run away, run away before it's too late
Run away, before it's too late
You never know what you're gonna find out there
No, you never know till you look
Memories as sweet as these
You cannot take them, they belong to me
Don't you worry, worry about me
Don't make this harder than it has to be
Run away, run away before it's too late to
Run away, run away before it's too late
Run away, run away before it's too late
Run away, before it's too late
You never know what you're gonna find out there
No, you never know till you look
Run away, before it's too late, run away
Run away, before it's too late
To run away before it's too late
Run away, run away before it's too late to
Run away, I want you to stay
You never know what you're gonna find out there
No, you never know till you look
Can you feel what's happening
Walls are caving, colors change
The red you're wearing turns to gray
Oceans rise and oceans subside
Seasons give up and so have I
Holding you is holding you back
From what you could be
What you could have
Run away, run away before it's too late
Run away, before it's too late
Run away, run away before it's too late
Run away, before it's too late
You never know what you're gonna find out there
No, you never know till you look
Memories as sweet as these
You cannot take them, they belong to me
Don't you worry, worry about me
Don't make this harder than it has to be
Run away, run away before it's too late to
Run away, run away before it's too late
Run away, run away before it's too late
Run away, before it's too late
You never know what you're gonna find out there
No, you never know till you look
Run away, before it's too late, run away
Run away, before it's too late
To run away before it's too late
Run away, run away before it's too late to
Run away, I want you to stay
You never know what you're gonna find out there
No, you never know till you look
Begin Lyrics – Brendan James
Become the champion of the known and the trust
Embrace the strength of one
Decide what can be done
Corrupt the worst of us
Capsize the sinking love
Forgive them from the start
Commend with a melting heart
Begin, be not afraid
Fall in, the day is brave
Remember what has happened in our past
So much is happening right now
So much can come
So much will come
So much can come
Embrace the strength of one
Decide what can be done
Corrupt the worst of us
Capsize the sinking love
Forgive them from the start
Commend with a melting heart
Begin, be not afraid
Fall in, the day is brave
Remember what has happened in our past
So much is happening right now
So much can come
So much will come
So much can come
The Sun Will Rise Lyrics – Brendan James
The sun will rise, the sun will save me
The sun will change me, change the way I feel
The day will make this heart a fortune
From the fruit of a hundred orchards
From the water river's break
The sun will rise, the sun will save me
From the night, the sun will change me,
Change the way I feel
I've had enough of the hard and harder,
Times are tough
I've drifted farther, farther from myself
I won't dwell, baby, on my failures
It won't help, baby, it won't bring changes
I won't run, baby, when all I want is to run
I won't forget the morning sure to come
The sun will rise, the sun will save me
From the night, the sun will change me,
Change the way I feel
The love I want, the love I need is sure to come,
Is sure to lead me, lead me home again
The light is low, the night is burning
My head is still, but my mind is turning,
Turning round again
If only I could make it through this lonely night,
If I can do this, if I can drift away
Then the sun will rise, the sun will save me
From the night, the sun will change me,
Change the way I feel
The sun will change me, change the way I feel
The day will make this heart a fortune
From the fruit of a hundred orchards
From the water river's break
The sun will rise, the sun will save me
From the night, the sun will change me,
Change the way I feel
I've had enough of the hard and harder,
Times are tough
I've drifted farther, farther from myself
I won't dwell, baby, on my failures
It won't help, baby, it won't bring changes
I won't run, baby, when all I want is to run
I won't forget the morning sure to come
The sun will rise, the sun will save me
From the night, the sun will change me,
Change the way I feel
The love I want, the love I need is sure to come,
Is sure to lead me, lead me home again
The light is low, the night is burning
My head is still, but my mind is turning,
Turning round again
If only I could make it through this lonely night,
If I can do this, if I can drift away
Then the sun will rise, the sun will save me
From the night, the sun will change me,
Change the way I feel
Manchester Lyrics – Brendan James
Plains and painted trees
The long south willow street
A raging river turning
Feelings never change
And the names remain the same
As children go on learning
Like all the town she fights
She prays she'll do it right
With nature's sounds to guide
Her safely through the night
All of Manchester together
To carry on the weight that is life
That has changed over night
Let the good lend their hands
As the old teach the young
This is all of Manchester
Together, to carry us on
Shades of red and white
In the blinking of an eye
The blues not far behind
Free to live for the price
Of the cold November night
A chill that never dies
Like all the town she fights
She prays she'll do it right
With nature's sounds to guide
Her safely through the night
All of Manchester together
To carry on the weight that is life
That has changed over night
Let the good lend their hands
As the old teach the young
This is all of Manchester
Together, to carry us on
Father Roger speaks,
he brings us to our knees
It's beautiful
All of Manchester together
To carry on the weight that is life
That has changed over night
Let the good lend their hands
As the old teach the young
This is all of Manchester
Together, to carry us on
To carry us on
So let the good lend their hands
As the old teach the young
This is all of Manchester
Together, to carry us on
The long south willow street
A raging river turning
Feelings never change
And the names remain the same
As children go on learning
Like all the town she fights
She prays she'll do it right
With nature's sounds to guide
Her safely through the night
All of Manchester together
To carry on the weight that is life
That has changed over night
Let the good lend their hands
As the old teach the young
This is all of Manchester
Together, to carry us on
Shades of red and white
In the blinking of an eye
The blues not far behind
Free to live for the price
Of the cold November night
A chill that never dies
Like all the town she fights
She prays she'll do it right
With nature's sounds to guide
Her safely through the night
All of Manchester together
To carry on the weight that is life
That has changed over night
Let the good lend their hands
As the old teach the young
This is all of Manchester
Together, to carry us on
Father Roger speaks,
he brings us to our knees
It's beautiful
All of Manchester together
To carry on the weight that is life
That has changed over night
Let the good lend their hands
As the old teach the young
This is all of Manchester
Together, to carry us on
To carry us on
So let the good lend their hands
As the old teach the young
This is all of Manchester
Together, to carry us on
Let Your Beat Go On Lyrics – Brendan James
If he came down from heaven
And cleared the lines from your face
Said so long to your mistakes
And questions and start over again
Look in his eyes,
You'll find your own reflection,
A face of hardship and pain
Your money saved and spent,
Your loves and losses,
They're not worth it again
Let your beat go on forever,
They say we're made to live as one
Let this need to fear each other
Not be passed on to my son
Let your beat go on forever,
Let your fears down rivers run
Let the silence be the music,
When their words are said and done
Now fate lands you out in the open,
A slave to the man inside your head
Your second chances,
They're buried deep in rock canyons
As you lie here in bed
Let your beat go on forever,
They say we're made to live as one
Let this need to fear each other
Not be passed on to my son
Let your beat go on forever,
Let your fears down rivers run
Let the silence be the music,
When their words are said and done
I feel like as people,
We're afraid to question,
Afraid of our heavens and our hells
My mother raised me with strength and measure
My father raised me too late
Let your beat go on forever,
They say we're made to live as one
Let this need to fear each other
Not be passed on to my son
Let your beat go on forever,
Let your fears down rivers run
Let the silence be the music,
When their words are said and done
And cleared the lines from your face
Said so long to your mistakes
And questions and start over again
Look in his eyes,
You'll find your own reflection,
A face of hardship and pain
Your money saved and spent,
Your loves and losses,
They're not worth it again
Let your beat go on forever,
They say we're made to live as one
Let this need to fear each other
Not be passed on to my son
Let your beat go on forever,
Let your fears down rivers run
Let the silence be the music,
When their words are said and done
Now fate lands you out in the open,
A slave to the man inside your head
Your second chances,
They're buried deep in rock canyons
As you lie here in bed
Let your beat go on forever,
They say we're made to live as one
Let this need to fear each other
Not be passed on to my son
Let your beat go on forever,
Let your fears down rivers run
Let the silence be the music,
When their words are said and done
I feel like as people,
We're afraid to question,
Afraid of our heavens and our hells
My mother raised me with strength and measure
My father raised me too late
Let your beat go on forever,
They say we're made to live as one
Let this need to fear each other
Not be passed on to my son
Let your beat go on forever,
Let your fears down rivers run
Let the silence be the music,
When their words are said and done
Take The Fall Lyrics – Brendan James
Forget about Norman 'small town' Rockwell
Scenes of simple life
Forget about savings and poignant phrasings,
Cigarettes and schoolyard fights
Let us out now Lord of our speed and fancy
Of our 'can you hear me now''s
And our techno loves
Drop us off on 55th and keep us reading Vonnegut
Point out now what we're careless of
My chance in life is worth letting go
Of all the trends they're setting so forgive me
If I'm so ordinary with
Extraordinary reasons to live
It's just like a boy to save his
Honor and his money
It's just like a girl to feel
It's just like a child to stand
And interrupt us all
And say I'll gladly take the fall for you
Now love, love, love, yes
It's all you need
John and Paul, Ringo, George profess
If I've got love
I can feel I can remember every meal
But like a gift it can be taken all away
My chance in life is worth letting go
Of all the trends they're setting so forgive me
If I'm so ordinary with
Extraordinary reasons to live
It's just like a boy to save his
Honor and his money
It's just like a girl to feel
It's just like a child to stand
And interrupt us all
And say I'll gladly take the fall for you
I'll gladly take the fall for you
Scenes of simple life
Forget about savings and poignant phrasings,
Cigarettes and schoolyard fights
Let us out now Lord of our speed and fancy
Of our 'can you hear me now''s
And our techno loves
Drop us off on 55th and keep us reading Vonnegut
Point out now what we're careless of
My chance in life is worth letting go
Of all the trends they're setting so forgive me
If I'm so ordinary with
Extraordinary reasons to live
It's just like a boy to save his
Honor and his money
It's just like a girl to feel
It's just like a child to stand
And interrupt us all
And say I'll gladly take the fall for you
Now love, love, love, yes
It's all you need
John and Paul, Ringo, George profess
If I've got love
I can feel I can remember every meal
But like a gift it can be taken all away
My chance in life is worth letting go
Of all the trends they're setting so forgive me
If I'm so ordinary with
Extraordinary reasons to live
It's just like a boy to save his
Honor and his money
It's just like a girl to feel
It's just like a child to stand
And interrupt us all
And say I'll gladly take the fall for you
I'll gladly take the fall for you
