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

I feel like as people we’re afraid to wonder, 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

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

I feel like as people we’re afraid to question, afraid of uncertainty and death

Pulling half my weight along, I’m begging for attention

It’s hard to find a place to fit in

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

It’s times like in our search for peace

That it’s fear we’re most afraid of

But the blood we bleed and the air we need

Are hardly cold or used up

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
