Our Ethos

I'm not sure why, but this song gets me a little emotional, maybe its because this song speaks for how I'm sure a lot of people feel about punk and hardcore, especially those of us who are getting older but still live life by the lessons learned by a subculture that we created; I met Brett because of the adopted family I made through the subculture, the most important people in my life and some (not all) of the happiest times in my life happened because of social/political/artistic lifestyle known as punk rock, anyway, been listening to this on repeat, so thought I would share:
SET YOUR GOALS LYRICS
"Our Ethos: A Legacy To Pass On"
Featuring Chad Gilbert
Let's take it back.
Let's take it back to the start again,
When we didn't have an outline in our heads.
When we only had a show to motivate us,
Keep us far from trouble.
Keep us guarded.
Simple words with a deeper meaning.
Something to relate to that we could call our own.
Lasting values of the generations who were here before us,
Now we must carry on.
Traditions, our mission:
To listen, learn, and pass them on.
Our ethos, it's all we know.
We can't let go.
I found a name for what I am.
I was searching, trying to figure out why I did not belong.
It separates me from the rest
As the only thing that I identify with and I am still hear to say it!
I am never alone.
THIS IS A PLACE TO CALL OUR OWN.
Traditions, our mission:
To listen, learn, and pass them on.
Our ethos, it's all we know.
We can't let go.
The time is now to stand, be proud.
We all are part of something more.
Our ethos, don't let it go.
Don't let it....
When there is no one there to hear you the music will listen,
And when there's no one there to tell the words will write themselves.
So you say that this is trapping me. Yeah, and maybe I agree,
But there are ways in which I'm free that you will never be.
[Chad Gilbert]:
Been around long enough by now to know I see things differently than most.
But here, like-minded souls surround and I found a name for what I've always been.
So come with me if you feel what I feel.
We'll turn these words into something real.
Follow these footsteps, come into your own.
You'll never walk alone. We'll never walk alone!
SO COME WITH US IF YOU FEEL WHAT WE FEEL.
WE'LL TURN THESE WORDS INTO SOMETHING REAL.
FOLLOW OUR FOOTSTEPS, COME INTO YOUR OWN.
YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE. WE'LL NEVER WALK ALONE!
Traditions, our mission:
To listen, learn, and pass them on.
Our ethos, it's all we know.
We can't let go.
The time is now to stand, be proud.
We all are part of something more.
Our ethos, don't let it go.
Don't let it....
Let's take it back.
