lyrics

We drove 16 hundred miles
Across our home state
Through altered states of consciousness
Lit fires along the way
Echoes through the canyons
Stood staring in awe
Watched the children watching
The wonder of it all
In what they saw
With no words
At all

I’d call you brothers
Our faces aglow from the flame
But it doesn’t feel quite right
There’s got to be a different name
Cause we’ve all got brothers
But it’s not the same
You’re not the family I was born with
You’re the family that I claim

Saw the years in the millions
Laid bare at our feet
Down the winding roads
Like the river to the sea
Echoes through the canyons
Counting wild sheep
Ruminating science fiction
While the children dream
Of what they’ve seen
With no words
Just free

I’d call you brothers
Our faces aglow from the flame
But it doesn’t feel quite right
There’s got to be a different name
‘Cause we’ve all got brothers
But it’s not the same
You’re not the family I was born with
You’re the family that I claim

Like echos through the canyons
Like ripples in the streams
Through the highs the lows
And the in-betweens

Like echos through the canyons
Like the paintings on the walls
Carried over rivers
Chasing waterfalls

Life long companions
Through the sorrows and the joys
No matter what we call it
You’re still Uncles to the boys
