lyrics

**Across the state of Ohio
To Indiana, they went.
Every ounce of energy
The four of them spent.
They toured everywhere they could
They played on streets and venues,
Dive bars and Birthday parties-
Eating from the dollar menu.

In the bus, they lived.
And while they went along,
Lia grabbed a napkin,
And wrote this very song. **

---

We landed on a stage in Ohio.
We thought we’d play another show.
But little did we know, When we got up to blow,
The powers that be gave us more.

They gave us more.
They gave us more.
More folks than we ever thought before.
And when we lit up that stage
The whole place went crazed.
And the powers that be gave us more.

They said our lyric prowess was awesome.
But another band won the whole show.
Another split up But didn’t give up.
Two of them joined up and here we go.

They gave us more.
They gave us more.
More folks than we ever thought before.
And when we lit up that stage
The whole place went crazed.
And the powers that be gave us more.

**Now Jacob Forte’s the lead bard with us.
Lia’s harmonies are sublime.
Mikey on bass, and without a trace-
Of Irony, Ember’s back on drums.

We will not forget where we come from.
We will not break down.
Meta Avenue, will always keep in view,
The music is what we fight for.

You gave us more.
You gave us more.
But the music is what keeps us on the floor.
No matter how life changes
Nothing tops those mountain ranges,
And prairies as we travel across these shores.

No matter how life changes
Nothing tops those mountain ranges,
And the music, that always brings us more.**

I am Joshua David Ling, and I am a storyteller. I’ve been telling stories ever since I was a wee tot in diapers. Mom and Dad couldn’t stop me, no matter how hard they tried. Of course, it didn’t help that I had a steady diet of Narnia, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and other anachronistic tales that instilled in me a sense of wonder, longing, and chivalry. ... more
