With a Little Help From My Friends / Brother (Live From the Woods)

[Verse 1]

What would you think if I sang out of tune?

Would you stand up and walk out on me?

Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song

I will try not to sing out of key

[Chorus]

I get by with a little help from my friends

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Yeah, by with a little help from my friends

[Bridge]

Do you need anybody?

Oh, I need someone to love

Do you need anybody?

Oh, I need someone to love

Do you need anybody?

[Chorus]

I get by with a little help from my friends

I need, oh, I need, by with a little help from my friends

Oh, I get by, by with a little help from my friends

[Interlude]

Give you a chance to sing, let me hear you

Keep it comin'

Now get real quiet, man, let me hear 'em, come on

Let me hear ya

Yeah, I get by

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Oh, I get by

Y'all sound good, one more time, let me hear ya

[Verse 2]

Ramblers in the wilderness, we can't find what we need

We get a little restless from the searching

Get a little worn down in between

Like a bull chasing the matador is the man left to his own schemes

But everybody needs someone beside em' shining like a lighthouse from the sea

[Chorus]

Brother, let me be your shelter

Never leave you all alone

I can be the one you call

When you're low

Brother, let me be your fortress

Night winds are driving on

Be the one to light the way

Bring you home

[Verse 2]

Face down in the desert now there's a cage locked around my heart

I found a way to drop the keys where my failures were

Now my hands can't reach that far

I ain't made for rivalry. I could never take the world alone

I know that in my weakness I am strong

But it's your love that brings me home

[Chorus]

Brother, let me be your shelter

Never leave you all alone

I can be the one you call

When you're low

Brother, let me be your fortress

Night winds are driving on

Be the one to light the way

Bring you home

[Bridge]

'Cause when you call

And need me near

Sayin', "Where’d you go?"

Brother, I’m right here

And on those days

When the sky begins to fall

You’re the blood of my blood

We can get through it all

[Chorus]

Brother, let me be your shelter

Never leave you all alone

I can be the one you call

When you're low

Brother, let me be your fortress

When the night winds are driving on

Be the one to light the way

Bring you home

Brother, let me be your shelter

Never leave you all alone

I can be the one you call

When you're low

Brother, let me be your fortress

Night winds are driving on

Be the one to light the way

One more time, get your voices, let me hear you sing

Brother, let me be your shelter

Never leave you all alone

I can be the one you call

When you're low

Brother, let me be your fortress

Night winds are driving on

Be the one to light the way

Bring you home

[Spoken Outro]

This song is uh, is from a new record

Since we made the last record, uh, a lot has changed in our personal lives

For me, I had, uh, I had three little boys, uh, yeah

And that does not make me a good dad or anything, I just got 'em, uh

I don't know, I don't know what I'm gonna do with 'em, I'm not sure

I know that five years from now I will, I will

Totally different place in life and all that

But I wrote a lot of this record

Uh, watching them grow up, and uh

I'm, I'm somebody who struggles a lot with anxiety, and, and depression, which I know a lot of us do, and uh

You can't imagine what a three year old walking in naked can do to that feeling, you know what I'm saying?

Um, I, not the naked part, but just the

The confidence it takes to walk around attacking life like that

And a lot of this record Out of Body, um, was about that

And uh, a lot of people, I don't know

Maybe confused some of the meanings on the wrong record

Which is your prerogative, I'm happy for you to do that, uh

But really it was about getting beyond the things that we've built up, the sort of, uh

Insecurities we built up over time

And uh, the things, the way we see ourselves

Which is really, we know, a perception thing and not true

Thinking about maybe the way, maybe, I don't know, God sees us, and uh

So that's what this song's about, it's about freedom

Tonight has felt like that, so thank you so so much

This one's called "Child Again"
