Reason to Celebrate Lyrics

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 disinegrate
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, everythings gone wrong

you see everythings gone wrong
you see everythings 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.
its just you i love tonight
if not for eachother, 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.
its just you i love tonight
if not for eachother,
then for my parents sake
