| 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, and mothers
|
| We’ve got to stand up for each other
|
| Sisters, brothers, fathers, and 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 tale-tales to keep your interest
|
| Trying to understand the lonely heart of man
|
| Sisters, brothers, fathers, and mothers
|
| We’ve got to stand up for each other
|
| Sisters, brothers, fathers, and mothers
|
| We’ve got to fight for one another
|
| Oh oh oh oh oh oh
|
| Oh oh oh oh oh oh
|
| Oh oh oh oh oh oh
|
| Oh oh oh oh oh oh yeah
|
| Life’s not a joke
|
| Not a cloud of smoke
|
| It’s not to be mocked
|
| It’s a tickin clock
|
| Countin down the days
|
| Livin on borrowed time
|
| Sisters, brothers, fathers, and mothers
|
| We’ve got to stand up for each other
|
| Sisters, brothers, fathers, and mothers
|
| We’ve got to fight for one another |
