the road, it goes ever on, they say;
and if you're not careful,
it'll sweep you right into the fray,
where all that you know
isn't all that you thought it would be.
you're looking for home;
could that really be where this road leads?
the road, it goes ever on, they say;
and if you're not careful,
it'll sweep you right into the fray,
but don't give up hope;
i'll be standing right here by your side.
no, don't you let go,
cause this road may yet lead us to life.
brother, will you stand with me?
will you lift me when i fall? lift me when i fall?
brother, i will stand with you, when there is no hope at all;
when all hope is lost, brother i'll stand.
the journey is long and the end isn't near.
we're only beginning; who can tell us what triumphs and tears
we'll find on our way as we wander the caverns inside?
but we'll stand together today,
'cause this dark may yet lead us to light.
brother, will you stand with me?
will you lift me when i fall? lift me when i fall?
brother, i will stand with you, when there is no hope at all;
when all hope is lost,
brother i'll stand with you
through everything, till everything is made new.
brother i'll stand, i'll stand with you
through all of this darkness, till the light breaks through.
as brothers we'll stand.
as sisters we'll stand.
as mothers and fathers, as brothers we'll stand

The Kept Collective is a group of independent artists (musicians, dancers, poets, and playwrites) tucked away in the Northeast corner of Tennessee looking to make the world a more thoughtful, hopeful, and beautiful place.
This album is a sonic adventure from start to finish, encompassing a wide range of styles from song to song (and even within the songs themselves). Treat yourself to this mellifluous journey. The Kept Collective
