Let Your Beat Go On - Brendan James
If he came down from heaven
and cleared the lines from your face
Said so long to the 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 heaven and our hell.
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.
