V1. don't hold the fruits that you have found sow your seeds into the ground the grass that dies will soon rebirth to spread its light across this earth V2. your trapped within your own ways forced to live, forced to decay not knowing what your living for what is it you are living for CH. i wish we'd left before we'd know theres death above and death bellow we try our best to live our lives to believe in what we think is right if your moving on tomorrow plant your seeds before you go the grass that dies will soon rebirth to spread its life across this earth instrumental.. CH2. i still see that light within your face its all wrapped inside your own ways but i'm dreaming of a better place were i don't have to live that way plant your seeds into the ground and reap the fruits which you have found a sun that dies will soon rebirth to spread its life across this earth a sun will rise to return to spread its light across this earth

A Simple Man 03:26
V1 could be living for tomorrow, could be living for today could hidden in my sorrow, could be drowning in my pain but i don't want to wast away this way so i cant live it for tomorrow, i'm gunna live it for today V2 could be living in the forest, could be living out my dream sleeping in the meadows crossing the valleys and the streams but i wont wait for it to all be gone if i'm just waiting on tomorrow i'm not living it at all V3 a simple man once told me don't be forgetting who you are its not the lose along the way its what were keeping in our hearts so stick to your guns before you get shot if i'm forgetting who i am i might as well have been forgot CH your times to short to waist it, the sun is slowly dying and though i may never find it, lord knows ill aways be trying so ill say goodbye to yesterday, if i am leaving in the morning ill be gone before iv'e stayed, so i cant live it for tomorrow i'm going to live it for today. V4 could be living for tomorrow, could be living for today could hidden in my sorrow, could be drowning in my pain but i don't want to wast away this way so i cant live it for tomorrow, i'm gunna live it for today

V1 lonely is the night that i walk upon the moon is there to comfort me when the sun is gone lonely is the night that i walk upon only for my boot-heels there to guide me on V2 broken is the bridge that i walk across the waters there beneath me calling me to jump broken is the bridge that i walk across god is on the other side calling me home V3 weary is the man that i travel by he said "i'm lonely but i'm satisfied just living my life" weary is the man that i travel by i don't know where its taking me but i soon will find, out….. V4 dark are the trees that i walk on through im lonely and it frightens me but there leading me to you dark are the trees that i walk on through V5 peaceful are the hills that i walk along the bells are there above me there ringing me a song peaceful are the hills that i walk along V6 lonely is the night that i walk upon the moon is there above me guiding me on lonely is the night that i walk upon.. god is on the other side waiting for me to come home…..

The Rest 03:50
V1 i don't need to know how the bluebird fly's just to know it looks beautiful when soaring through the sky i don't need to know about the cancer in my bones just to feel the emptiness when im alone whoa……. V2 i don't need to know how the tree will fall just to see the life within it in the leaves that linger on i don't need to know all about my death i'm gunna feel it in the moment and not think about the rest whoa…….. pre i have my life to figure this out i don't need to know the answer right now i'm going to feel it in the moment and not think about the rest about the rest… CH oh its vast and wide, vast and wide with you by my side, by my side oh they open plains they open sky it could change your heart it could change your mind if you took the time, take your time its just you and me and the open road we got no time to keep, no where to go it don't matter where i am if im with you ill call it home we could forget about the rest of them we could forget about the rest of them we could forget about the rest of them we could forget about the rest when were alone

V1 once in the winter the spring brought a flower as i watched that flower wither the spring it brought another once in the winter V2 once in the summer a drought brought stormy weather from that drought grew greener pastures as it grew us all together once in the summer V3 the sailors are awakening as the sea is softly swaying in the night the storm is raging but is calm within the morning V4 would you be with me a lover we could find it all together oh to become part of each other if only i should ask her CH i can hear my brother calling he said you better start running for that winter seasons coming and it means to be collecting now i hear the spring a calling she said you better start running for that winter seasons coming and it means to be collecting yea that winter seasons coming so im gunna start running yes ill be leaving in the morning for that winter comes to take me in

Let It Be 05:45
V1 let it be let it be i can see i can see set me free set me free let it be let it be V2 set it free set it free first its here then its gone it will leave let it leave but you keep holding on but you've held on to long now its time to set it free V3 boy your dying to young to be living this way for your life's just begun don't you throw it away is what they said to me don't you try to succeed well wont you let me be V4 oh run johnny run go be free johnny free you have worried to long about the meaning of things that don't mean a thing we'll forget them when were gone hmmm…. Ch what comes of a life with a sickness inside that runs through your bones they found you that night with a knife in your side they found you alone but you lived a good life you just put out your lights a little soon when you rose to the sky i lingered behind but ill be joining you soon V5 let it be, let it be set me free, set me free i can see, i can see let it be, let it be let it be for you what its been for me and we'll all just be set free

V1 to many rivers to be crossing to wide a water to be crossed its swept away what iv'e been loosing and buried deep what i have lost V2 the flow in you is always raging and now it flows deep within me you can never tell where the rivers taking but the river flows into a sea V3 its fare and wide said the water gypsy its wider now than before we leave the past to hold our disbelief's and let the future take its corse V4 the river flows always against me so i better swim or ill be lost until i die said the fish who swims up stream for the end is greater than the cost yeah the end will benefit my lose whoaa…..
8.
V1 blue sky's are there above me and if i could reach id touch the sun a million miles from my hand shines a light thats just begun but it don't matter what you have done the sun still shines on everyone all the same V2 if your mind has become diseased or your living not to believe in anyone or anything, but yourself than your mind wont fix your thoughts cause you've accepted to be wrong we are but fishes in a pond and you are swimming towards that hook you should have thought before you took we should follow what we trust and let that current carry us away from here whoaaa……… V3 theres no telephone wires here on our side of the road just the grass beneath the snow as we are frozen down bellow we are buried deep beneath the winter of my careless hopes but the spring will melt the snow and we will rise up from bellow cause we are all just learning how to go……….. whoaa………..

about

Acorntribe recorded there first 8 song album at hyde street studios in san Francisco in july of 2010. the band has evolved into an arraignment of acoustic guitars, 3 piece vocal harmonies, piano, a kick drum and a tambourine and have been taking there sound as far as chicago all the way to the west coast. “Before You Go” is made up of strong and thoroughly thought out lyrics and melodies but its also a story targeted at the rawness and simplicity of life and the people who have such a mindset will truly understand and get most out of this album. “theres no one meaning to a song, the meaning is yours to create from your own experiences” so listen, create, and enjoy.
