Together 03:39
Together, together Together again Things I never thought I’d have to miss Everything that makes life what it is A hug before a long goodbye I hope the last one wasn’t the last time Cause I don’t always say the things I should Acting like my love is understood Searching for the reason why Hoping next time I will get it right I know you and I Will be together, together Together again We’ll be together, together Together again We’ll be together again Learning what to lose and what to save I know I’ve got a lot to give away Pushing more with each sunrise Hoping that we don’t have to compromise I want to sing with 40000 friends Feel the wind and sun against my skin See the smiles, hear the sound Of the busy streets and the hustle of a crowd Just look around And be together, together Together again We’ll be together, together Together again We’ll be together again (BGVS): All we are is who we love And who we love makes us who we are All we are is who we love And who we love makes us who we are We’ll be together, together Together again We’ll be together again We’ll be together, together Together again We’ll be together again (BGVS): All we are is who we love And who we love makes us who we are All we are is who we love And who we love makes us who we are

Spinning 03:49
All in all clawing on my chest Are the words I can’t give Falling down calling on my best For all the worlds I won’t live If you wanted to, you could get out of here If you wanted to you could be free If you wanted to you could be free of me The room keeps spinning spinning spinning when you’re here But the world stops spinning spinning spinning when you’re gone The room keeps spinning spinning spinning when you’re here But the world stops spinning spinning spinning when you’re gone Crawling on the floor tonight To broker our next deal Stalling all the door-slam fights To choke it off at the seam If you wanted to, you could get out of here If you wanted to you could be free If you wanted to you could be free of me The room keeps spinning spinning spinning when you’re here But the world stops spinning spinning spinning when you’re gone The room keeps spinning spinning spinning when you’re here But the world stops spinning spinning spinning when you’re gone Why do you stay with me if you don’t want to Why do you live with it if you don’t want to If you don’t want to Spinning spinning spinning Spinning spinning spinning The room keeps spinning spinning spinning when you’re here But the world stops spinning spinning spinning when you’re gone The room keeps spinning spinning spinning when you’re here But the world stops spinning spinning spinning when you’re gone Spinning spinning spinning

Carried Away 03:37
(based on Way With Words by Derrek C. Phillips) A friend told me once I have a way with words. I often find myself getting carried away with words. If only people could find a better way with words. Better pray. Pray better while bodies are carried away. Trying to keep my sons and daughters from getting carried that way. Before somebody say “they’re out of control. They got carried away.” As if the only answer for getting “carried away” is getting carried away. Being Black in front of the wrong person could get you buried today. Carried away Don’t get carried away Carried away Don’t get carried away If only George, Ahmaud and Sean could get away, with words. They tried to use them but they were done away with. Word. Breonna Taylor was blown away with nothing to say. You heard? How many bodies need to get carried away? It’s absurd. We use words everyday but still don’t know our way, with words. The truth is buried away. 21 grams lighter, they lay. Got me feeling a certain type of way. In a word. Got me crying as I pray. Screaming while throwing weight. Still pushing weight off my chest I can’t see. Trying to move the weight, remove the hate, unable to meditate. “I can’t breathe! Stop! Wait!!!” Carried away Don’t get carried away Carried away Don’t get carried away I put my life in these words. I put my strife in these words. Hopefully I can save a life with these words. If only words could bring them back to life. These words. A friend told me once I have a way with words. I often find myself getting carried away with words. If only people could find a better way. With words. If only people could find a better way. Carried away Don’t get carried away Carried away Don’t get carried away Carried away Don’t get carried away Carried away Don’t get carried away

Hey hey it could take forever For you to wait wait to take a stand Hey hey but we could stand together Hey hey and give a good god damn Thoughts and prayers are a dime a dozen All I’m looking for is a sign of life I can breathe I am fine put your words on the line Oh who are you waiting for Oh who are you waiting for Hey hey you call it politics When the weight weight ain’t on your back Hey hey it’s an easy fix When it ain’t ain’t you that’s under attack Thoughts and prayers are a dime a dozen All I’m looking for is a sign of life I can breathe I am fine put your words on the line Oh who are you waiting for Oh who are you waiting for [SOLO] Oh who are you waiting for Oh who are you waiting for
