beyond the music

started out with nothing to say

in a carpet cave we learn how to play

talk about our favorite songs

we didn't know that this would last forever

as it played along

we set our course for any way out

prayin' that the van wouldn't break down

found some places we belong

load the gear

play our songs

who'd have known this would last forever

as it moved along

here we are today

still look each other in the face

not expecting a single thing beyond the music

still finding ways to share what we feel

for kids with no friends

it doesn't seem real

and there's nothing in this world

not a dollar

dream or girl

that can rival what we have between us

beyond the music

here we are today

still look each other in the face

not expecting a single thing beyond the music

frustrato-rock or chainsaw pop

or whatever it is we play

this is our family

and it will always be this way

beyond the music

we found our family
