Brother Brother
Can you hear me now
Brother brother
I am broken down
Brother brother
Tell me how can I be more since herein
Brother brother
Please please
I need to get every balm

Father can you balm my grief
I need someone thatĀ“s older and stronger than me
Father I am about to choke
Father please take me home

Mother Mother
Can you fix my yearning
Mother mother
I can hear the sad song tuninĀ“in
Mother Mother
I am in the depths of despair

Mother Mother
Please Please get me out of here

Father can you balm my grief
I need someone that is older and stronger than me
Father I am about to choke
Father please take me home

CauseĀ“I still feel the pain from the night he explained why itĀ“s over
I wish I was a sparrow in the sky so that I could fly to tomorrow
Into the bright daylight, even the night behind and its morrow
Because I just not lost a man but my best friend




I not lost a man but my best friend
I not lost a man but my best friend in the whole world

Qeaux Qeaux Joans (don't know how to speak this) really shines in your happening. I am not shure if it's you or the setting. I really don't want to be offensive - that's just my own sincere opinion - the "What If... (Official teaser album No Man's Land)" trailer is not half as good as the last two performances I have seen here. It is really meant as constructive criticism. So long Crashpilot
