Lots of people talking but what are they doing
Lots of people talking but what are they proving
Lots of people talking but nobody's thinking
Lots of people talking yeah what are they drinking
And I've got a reason to talk
Yes I got a reason to walk lawd
Cause I got three things going for me
That's a knife and a pen and a sycamore tree
Now everybody thinks they got something worth saying
And everybody thinks they got something worth praying for
But nobody thinks the price is worth paying
Cause everybody thinks they got something worth saving
And I've got a reason to talk
Yes I got a reason to walk lawd
Cause I got three things going for me
That's a knife and a pen and a sycamore tree
Lots of people talking yeah what are they doing
What are you doing
Lots of people talking yeah what are they proving
What are you proving
Lots of people talking but nobody's thinking
Lots of people talking yeah what are they drinking
And I've got a reason to talk
Yes I got a reason to walk lawd
Cause I got three things going for me
That's a knife and a pen and a sycamore tree
Well I got three things going for me
That's a knife and a pen and a sycamore tree
Yes I got three things going for me
That's a knife and a pen and a sycamore

Give me peace in a time of war
I don’t have the answers you’ve been searching for
I’ve been swimming in the deepest waters you cannot believe in
It’s all a lie
Keep your head above water oh my
Oh my
Oh my
Keep your head above water oh my
Oh my lawd
Oh my
Oh my
Fool me once even fool me twice
Any fool can criticize, it’s a weakness he can’t hide
I’ve been swimming with the deepest sharks they can sink their teeth in
Never have to lie
Keep your head above water oh my
Oh my
Oh my
Keep your head above water oh my
Oh my lawd
Oh my
Oh my
In the rain be the love
Be the ship in the flood
Just find your way
In the rain be the love
Be the ship in the flood
Just find your way
Just find just find Just find your way
Just find your way
Just find just find
Just find your way
Keep your head above water oh my
Oh my
Oh my
Keep your head above water oh my
Oh my lawd
Oh my
Oh my

Girl, I can’t believe my eyes
Every time I see your face
I get butterflies
Girl, I can’t believe my mind
Every time I hear your voice
I get hypnotized
Can you give me a sign
Open up that line
Honey can you loose my mind
Girl, I can’t believe your eyes
Every time they see right through my heart’s disguise
Girl, I can’t believe your lies
Every time you say your through with other guys
Can you give me a sign
I walking down that line
Girl, what am I gonna do
Do I even have the nerve to say we’re through
Girl, it’s like you never lose
Either way you get your way and I get the blues
So give me the bad news
Before I blow my fuse
Honey can you loose my
Honey can you loose my mind

We were lovers, in the throes
Of an ocean, waves opposed
Were we friend or foe
Amorita, Amorita what went wrong
Memory’s fading, fading with the setting sun
Fear’s invading, fill my head with thoughts unknown
Feelings we’ve never shown
Amorita, Amorita whoa
Amorita, Amorita what went wrong
What went wrong
I’ve been reeling
Been down kneeling
But I can’t leave it alone
When faith can’t heal it
The pain is revealing
That I can’t make it alone
Amorita, Amorita whoa
Amorita, Amorita what went wrong
What went wrong

They can tear down a home but they can't take the pride
They can recall a loan but they can't take the ride
Why are you waging alone when you can march all in stride
Why are you raging alone when you can march in the fight
We're fired up ready to go
Fired up ready to go
Fired up ready to go
Fired up
We build all the road and we clear all the land
We give every dollar to the interest man
For every dime that we rightfully make
They put a dollar in the bank in the boss's name
We're fired up ready to go
Fired up ready to go
Fired up ready to go
Fired up
I got my brothers my sisters my paycheck and my union
Got my lovers my haters of solidary labor
I got my brothers my sisters my paycheck and my union
Got my lovers my haters
You can make us sweat and you can make us bleed
You can issue a threat and you can sign a degree
You can put us out to pasture grind us into dust
But you can't make it without any of us
We're fired up
Fired up
I got my brothers my sisters my paycheck and my union
Got my lovers my haters of solidary labor
I got my brothers my sisters my paycheck and my union
Got my lovers my haters
We're fired up ready to go
Fired up ready to go
Fired up ready to go
Fired up

Some men love the feeling of power
Some men love beating on their chest
Some men love getting paid by the hour
Some men love the things they possess
Some men live counting down the hours
Some men live counting every cost
Some men live for a lamb to devour
Some men live for never getting lost
We live for the high
We live for the low
We live for the ride
Wherever it may go
Some men live for the end of rainbow
We live for the mountain, for the valley, and the road
Don’t you live without chasing the sunset
Don’t you live without shattering the glass
Don't you live any days with regret
Don’t you live your days the past
We live for the high
We live for the low
We live for the ride
Wherever it may go
Some men live for the end of rainbow
We live for the mountain, for the valley, and the road
We live for the mountain, for the valley, and the road
We are hardened by the tempest
Marching safely through the storm
Hand in hand with our sisters
We shall overcome
We are hardened by the tempest
Marching safely through the storm
In the arms of our brothers
We shall overcome
We shall overcome
We live for the high
We live for the low
We live for the ride
Wherever it may go
Some men live for the end of the rainbow
We live for the mountain, for the valley, and the road
We live for the mountain, for the valley, and the road

We both tried to be on the same side
To do what was right by the letter
We both lied just to get ourselves by
To get through the night and the weather
Now I'm all out of patience
I'm all out of time
I'm all out of reasons to make up your mind
I'm out of excuses
I'm done playing games
I'm all out of anger and people to blame
I'm all out of answers
Maybe it's time to move on
We both cried when we ran out of time
When we knew we had nothing left together
Our hearts died when we said our goodbyes
When we gave up the worse for the better
Now I'm all out of patience
I'm all out of time
I'm all out of reasons to make up your mind
I'm out of excuses
I'm done playing games
I'm all out of anger and people to blame
I'm all out of answers
Maybe it's time to move on
Now I'm all out of patience
I'm all out of time
I'm all out of reasons to make up your mind
I'm out of excuses
I'm done playing games
Well I'm all out of patience
I'm all out of time
I'm all out of reasons to make up your mind
I'm out of excuses
I'm done playing games
I'm all out of anger and people to blame
I'm all out of answers
Maybe it's time to move on
