Let Your Beat Go On

(album: The Day Is Brave - 2008)

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
