about

collaboration with Brian Kobayakawa aka Brava Kilo and featuring Kathryn Rose on stunning vocals

lyrics

the song of the bird, the sound of the breeze
the kind of act that brings you to your knees
the song of your home, the way the door creaks
all the little floor boards, with all their little squeaks
when you feel half gone
and not that strong
the only thing that saves you
the battle lost, your friends have bailed
little paper ships sunk , the puddles prevailed
the beat of your heart, and struggling breath
the tears rolling down your , cheeks on to your chest
when you feel half gone
and not that strong
the only thing that saves you
when you’ve been knocked down and pushed aside
so misunderstood you wanna hide
you tap your toes, you feel the blues
some times you win sometimes you lose
and not that strong
the only thing that saves you
the only thing that saves you
the only thing that saves you
is a song
