31.Reason To Celebrate
In the latter half of December
Pressure builds from all reflection on the prior year
On this prior year, yes it was such a great year
Sidewalks fill till congestion
Starts to spill
Out onto the steam rising off of Lexington
A broken promise is on display for a disconnected family
To reestablish a blood relation
Through wine and drunken conversations
Without this would there be?
Oh, anything at all
My brothers age exceeds mine by several years
But when he's here the years disintegrate
Watch them disappear
Just watch them rolling all the fear
'Cause our luck, mistakes and misfortunes
Without them would there be
A place for these children to lead?
A way out of war torn country
Will they see?
Anything at all, oh, anything at all
Parents they will brace this fall
Soon enough receive the call
Above the crying, everything's gone wrong
You see everything's gone wrong
You see everything's gone wrong
Just call your brother, give him love
The broken pieces we will sew
Broken promise on display, disconnected family
If not this would there be?
Would there be reason to celebrate?
Would there be reason, reason at all?
And on this holiday I beg and pray
For you to show me a conversation
Holding hands underneath all the flashing decorations
Put everything aside for now, it's just you I love tonight
If not for each other, then for my parents sake
On this holiday I beg and pray
For you to show me a conversation
Holding hands underneath all the flashing decorations
And put everything aside for now, it's just you I love tonight
If not for each other, then for my parents sake
