lyrics

Equal Chances

Your family doesn’t talk about it
But you know your brother is gone
You know he was working the corner
Said if he crossed him
He’d never be found

He always showed up for the learning
Always worked hard to make his mark
No pain and no house of ivory
Another wasted mind
Another wasted start

You let the man know what was needed
You were only trying to ease the pain
He said he had to present the offer
You said you wouldn’t start that circle again

So you worked at Starling’s Diner
Sweat to know how to climb the line
And when the news of the shop’s closing
Brother whispered something
‘Bout you being blind

Everyone deserves an equal chance
No matter who you are
Or where your from
Good fortune shouldn’t set the odds
What a child can and will become

You fought against the sorrow
Pick up pushed through again
You will beg or steal or borrow
Or muddle in the drug of the day

When opportunity comes as often
No baby choses where to be born
If a child is given some wings
It stands to reason they will learn how to soar

Everyone deserves an equal chance
No matter who you are
Or where your from
Good fortune shouldn’t set the odds
What a child can and will become

Born out of the isolation of a global pandemic, a world in which artist need to speak up, and the shared belief that music heals, this band of life-long rockers is ready to break out, with cause, from the depths of a studio and into the public eye. ... more
