Sisters Brothers

(álbum: Medicine - 2015)

It happened to me on the balcony
I heard someone singing in the key of C
Goodbyes and love and freedom and tragedy
It got me spinning like a carousel
I had to take a vacation to the wishing well
To pound on the drums and ring all the bells

Sisters, brothers, fathers, mothers
We've got to stand up for each other
Sisters, brothers, fathers, mothers
We've got to fight for one another

There were promises made and debts were paid
We tell ourselves we are not afraid
Fear only goes where it's invited to stay
An eclectic, electric, hopeless romantic
Telling tall tales to keep your interest
Trying to understand the lonely heart of man

Sisters, brothers, fathers, mothers
We've got to stand up for each other
Sisters, brothers, fathers, mothers
We've got to fight for one another

Life's not a joke, not a cloud of smoke
It's not to be mocked, it's a ticking clock
Counting the days living on borrowed time

Sisters, brothers, fathers, mothers
We've got to stand up for each other
Sisters, brothers, fathers, mothers
We've got to fight for one another
