lyrics

I saw you standing there
on the opposite shore
Years before you were born, my love
Years before you were born

I knew you were mine to protect
Knew you were mine to love
More than anyone, my dear
more than anyone

If I could only remember
If I could find my way back
To the country I was raised to believe in
Oh I would take you there

But you can’t go back to somewhere
you’ve never been
No you can’t go back to somewhere
you’ve never been

instrumental

I want to make you feel safe
Want to make you feel loved
Can’t protect you from
the reality of
becoming a brown man in America

I wish I had better answers
That would put your mind at ease
Wish the country that you were born in
Offered equality and peace

Instrumental

If I could only remember
If I could find my way back
To the country I was raised to believe in
Oh I would take you there

But you can’t go back to somewhere
you’ve never been
No you can’t go back to somewhere
you’ve never been

We started in January 2009 playing songs written in response to Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions. We haven't stopped since. We've written & performed songs inspired by everything from "On The Origin of Species" to Dr. Seuss to Raymond Carver. There are BBCs popping up nationwide now. Bushwick Book Club Seattle started in 2010 & is run by Geoff Larson. Our nerdy dare-devilry knows no bounds. ... more
