in lieu of the actual lyrics in this recording, here's the original pre-formed song structure and camp friend ideas that turned into this band song version... it truly started as a campfire singalong, and SCOTT BAILEY had lots of input and played the accordion with me at the campfires... YAY CAMPING!

The fight will be waiting, things obligating - so now there's nothing I'd rather do, than
D B
pick a drug or two, and sit amongst this crew,
"BE BRAVE is the sort of band who make me reconsider throwing in the towel every time I listen to their inventive pop
masterpiece ‘Take A Deep Breath’. There are few occasions when you hear a band for the first time and know implicitly that you are going to love everything that they do. This is one of those bands."
