Song for a Bro'
Music and Lyrics by Peter Link

Hallelujah
We're goin' fishin' in the river of Jordan
Hallelu
We're gonna dance by the light of the moon
Hallelujah
Gonna shake the shadows off of the mornin'
Hallelu
We're gonna put the hope back in the bloom

Sometimes up
Sometimes down
All your troubles
Spinnin' you 'round
Spinnin' you 'round

Sometimes you
Seem to me
Trapped inside
And fighting yourself
Tryin' to break free

I'm beggin' you
Let yourself go
Give it all up
Pressure don't have any right to
Rule any part of you
Give it all up
Give it all up
Let yourself go brother

Nothin' is wrong
If ya' think right
Be a good friend to yourself
You're all that you need to be
Pressure don't have any claims on you
So let it all go
Just let yourself go
Just let yourself go
Just let yourself go

I know you yeah
You're nothin' till you prove you've made it
I know you
You're driven and you better be good
Yeah it's true
Every chance that came along you played it
But I know you
Ya' think you didn't do as good as you should

Now who's to say
What is true
Only God knows
God and you
God and you

Take your time bro'
See it through
Leave your worries
All behind you
All behind you

I'm beggin' you
Let yourself go
Give it all up
Pressure don't have any right to
Rule any part of you

Give it all up
Give it all up
Let yourself go brother

Nothin' is wrong
If ya' think right
Be a good friend to yourself
You're all that you need to be
Pressure don't have any claims on you
So let it all go
Just let yourself go
Just let yourself go
Just let yourself go

You and I
Have been a long way together
An' had our trials
If you and I
Could take a little time together
An' find our smiles
And let this burden go

Hallelujah
We're goin' fishin' in the river of Jordan
Hallelu
We're gonna dance by the light of the moon
Hallelujah
Gonna shake the shadows off of the mornin'
Hallelu
We're gonna put the hope back in the bloom
We're gonna put the song back in the tune
We're gonna dance by the light of the moon

The Rest of My Life
Music by Peter Link
Lyrics by Larry Rosler

You can be reckless the rest of your life
Living forever on the razor's edge
If it's a life you choose to lead
You can bleed the rest of your life

I'm gonna rescue the rest of my life
Pulling my life out of the raging fire
Go on and dig yourself a grave
While I save the rest of my life

'Cause I'm going home
Yeah I've wasted all my time with bums
And booze in the bars I've gotta get moving

Gotta get moving and make a new life
Made up my mind to do the best I can
If you could look inside of me you would see a different man

I wanna good home a roof above my head
A sure foundation of stone
A rug on the floor a permanent bed
If I can find it I'll never leave it the rest of my life

Now I've had a sign
And I've got a second chance to see if I can be
The man I was meant to be

I've seen all the lonesome towns I care to see
I've laid awake at night in all the flea bitten
Lonely rooms I just can't be that man anymore

There's so much confusion in this crazy world
I start to go and then you show your ugly face again
And then the game begins the game begins again

I'm gonna rescue the rest of my life
Pulling my life out of the raging fire
Go on dig yourself a grave while I save the rest of my life
The rest of my life
Oh the rest of my life

Trees Are Falling

Music and Lyrics by Peter Link
Title: Jenny Burton

1

Trees
Use ta be six trillion
Trees
Now there are three trillion
An’ the man just laughs
An’ cuts another one down
Trees
Trees are fallin’
Quicker than a man can grow more
There are more trees than people on this planet
In fact, it all adds up to roughly
Four hundred twenty-two trees
For every person alive
We humans are eclipsed (outnumbered)
We call this Earth our world when really
It belongs to the trees
And now they’re all fighting for …
Their lives
Trees
Trees are falling
Ripping loose their roots
From this tired old ground

2

As if to say
“It’s time to get away
It’s time to leave this place
Where no one seems to care anymore”
One day up
An’ the next day down
Middle of the night
An’ makin’ no sound
They just give it up
Just give it up
Give it up, give it up, give it up
They give it up
They give it up
Slaughtered by the men and their steel machines
Burning in their fires
Can you hear their screams
I can hear them screaming in the fire
As the Earth goes on spinning round and round
Trees are falling
Falling
Trees are falling
There’s a secret delegation of trees
They meet monthly
Deep in the forest
They’re workin’ on a plan of survival
And how to fight back at humankind
An’ how to regain control

3

Lead by the Giant Sequoia
A decision must be reached
Whether to cut and run
Or to stay and face the enemy
(Mankind and his machines)
Or to pull their roots
From this hallowed ground
And then find another place
Out there in outer space
Can’t you just …
Can’t you just imagine
The migration
Of three trillion trees
Pulling up roots
And flying off to places unknown
Leaving us behind
An’ wond’ring
If we had only
Done you better
Watching over the trees
Can you imagine?
A world without trees?
Trees are falling
What are we gonna to do?
Without trees?
Trees
Trees are falling …

4

Where do the birds go now?
What do we do when the sun comes out
And we can’t stand in the shade?
How do we know when the seasons change?
A walk in the woods will never be the same.
