With a Little Help From My Friends / Brother (Live From the Woods)

[Verse 1]
What would you think if I sang out of tune?
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
I will try not to sing out of key

[Chorus]
I get by with a little help from my friends
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Yeah, by with a little help from my friends

[Bridge]
Do you need anybody?
Oh, I need someone to love
Do you need anybody?
Oh, I need someone to love
Do you need anybody?

[Chorus]
I get by with a little help from my friends
I need, oh, I need, by with a little help from my friends
Oh, I get by, by with a little help from my friends

[Interlude]
Give you a chance to sing, let me hear you
Keep it comin'
Now get real quiet, man, let me hear 'em, come on
Let me hear ya
Yeah, I get by
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Oh, I get by
Y'all sound good, one more time, let me hear ya

[Verse 2]
Ramblers in the wilderness, we can't find what we need
We get a little restless from the searching
Get a little worn down in between
Like a bull chasing the matador is the man left to his own schemes
But everybody needs someone beside em' shining like a lighthouse from the sea

[Chorus]
Brother, let me be your shelter
Never leave you all alone
I can be the one you call
When you're low
Brother, let me be your fortress
Night winds are driving on
Be the one to light the way
Bring you home

[Verse 2]
Face down in the desert now there's a cage locked around my heart
I found a way to drop the keys where my failures were
Now my hands can't reach that far
I ain't made for rivalry. I could never take the world alone
I know that in my weakness I am strong
But it's your love that brings me home

[Chorus]
Brother, let me be your shelter
Never leave you all alone
I can be the one you call
When you're low
Brother, let me be your fortress
Night winds are driving on
Be the one to light the way
Bring you home

[Bridge]
'Cause when you call
And need me near
Sayin', "Where’d you go?"
Brother, I’m right here
And on those days
When the sky begins to fall
You’re the blood of my blood
We can get through it all

[Chorus]
Brother, let me be your shelter
Never leave you all alone
I can be the one you call
When you're low
Brother, let me be your fortress
When the night winds are driving on
Be the one to light the way
Bring you home
Brother, let me be your shelter
Never leave you all alone
I can be the one you call
When you're low
Brother, let me be your fortress
Night winds are driving on
Be the one to light the way
One more time, get your voices, let me hear you sing
Brother, let me be your shelter
Never leave you all alone
I can be the one you call
When you're low
Brother, let me be your fortress
Night winds are driving on
Be the one to light the way
Bring you home

[Spoken Outro]
This song is uh, is from a new record
Since we made the last record, uh, a lot has changed in our personal lives
For me, I had, uh, I had three little boys, uh, yeah
And that does not make me a good dad or anything, I just got 'em, uh
I don't know, I don't know what I'm gonna do with 'em, I'm not sure
I know that five years from now I will, I will
Totally different place in life and all that
But I wrote a lot of this record
Uh, watching them grow up, and uh
I'm, I'm somebody who struggles a lot with anxiety, and, and depression, which I know a lot of us do, and uh
You can't imagine what a three year old walking in naked can do to that feeling, you know what I'm saying?
Um, I, not the naked part, but just the
The confidence it takes to walk around attacking life like that
And a lot of this record Out of Body, um, was about that
And uh, a lot of people, I don't know
Maybe confused some of the meanings on the wrong record
Which is your prerogative, I'm happy for you to do that, uh
But really it was about getting beyond the things that we've built up, the sort of, uh
Insecurities we built up over time
And uh, the things, the way we see ourselves
Which is really, we know, a perception thing and not true
Thinking about maybe the way, maybe, I don't know, God sees us, and uh
So that's what this song's about, it's about freedom
Tonight has felt like that, so thank you so so much
This one's called "Child Again"
