Justin penned this song with several issues in mind, brotherhood being a central theme. It was a mainstay in the band's setlist because it showcased their rhythmic talents and appreciation for bands like The Police. Of note are Justin and Daniel's guitar/bass doubling and an alternate guitar solo.
lyrics
Walking through these hollow years
Faces come and go
Make decisions, cut your losses
Move on
She looks at you in wonder
And you can't see why
With the walls surrounding your heart
None can get by
Can you stand alone
And still survive the fall from grace?
Can you see the light
And endure the fall to shame?
How can you just stand there
And let the world pass by
Fight your problems through the doubts
And let yourself live
You can't see the many paths
Stretching before you
Stand up tall and dry your eyes kid
I know you'll get by
Can you stand alone
And still survive the fall from grace?
Can you see the light
And endure the fall to shame?
