Family Song - Okkervil River

Walk out in the street tonight

All the people asleep tonight

Feel the world 'neath your feet tonight

Cousin of mine

Cousin of mine

Won’t you stand up and shine tonight?

Ring the world like a chime tonight

Break the roof on your climb tonight

Sister of mine

Sister of mine

Gone is your emergency anchor

Gone is your court upon high

Gone is your legal protector

You’ve got to protect yourself tonight

Protect whoever else is by you

Won’t you go out and win, alright?

And won’t you go out and lose?

That’s fine

And won’t you go out and choose your life?

Lover of mine

Lover of mine

Gone is your father, the fighter

Holding his radiant prize

Gone is the clandestine lover

And the close friend who took his own life

We made it, though, to this moment in time

Gone are our layers of armor

Gone are rules that kept killers' hands tied

There are men who would do us all harm

But there are friends who would fight at our side

Even more friends and they all know what’s right

So don’t you know that you’re seen, alright?

And won’t you wake from your dream tonight?

Won’t you know some true peace in time?

Enemy of mine

Enemy of mine

You’re alive, I’m alive

You’re alive, I’m alive

You’re alive, I’m alive

You’re alive

I’m alive

I’m alive

I’m alive

Alive, alive

Alive, alive
