Kaleo - Run No More

 
Oh, one day
One day, we will rise
Oh, enough to find
Little hope left alive

Just one day, baby
Just one day at a time
Say you're blind
If you can't see the light

Push me down, push me out
Pushed around all my life
All my life
Been afraid of the dark

'Cause when I turn to you, Lord
Turn me down every time
Say you're blind
And you can't see the light

Oh, stand close, brother, next to me
Share your color, make them see
Guard your honor and dare to dream

One day, baby, baby, we don't have to run no more
One day, baby, don't have to run no more
One day, baby, we don't have to run no more
We don't have to run no more

When I rise
When I rise from the dark
Whoa, your eyes
They won't judge me no more

And if you turn to me, Lord
I will not turn you down
Whoa, child, we've been running all our life
All our lives

Stand close, brother, next to me
Share your color, make them see
Guard your honor and dare to dream

One day, baby, baby, we don't have to run no more
One day, baby, don't have to run no more
One day, baby, we don't have to run no more
One day, baby, we don't have to run no more
One day, baby, we don't have to run no more
Don't have to run no more

Is it down to you and me?
Is it only us that see?
Someone here's got to change this world
Start to feel that we never will

Oh, is it only you and I?
Has everyone else gone blind?
Someone here's got to change this world
If you never dream, then you never will

Oh, one day
Yes, one day
Oh, one day, hey, hey
Oh, one day

Oh, one day (One day, baby)
We will rise again (One day, baby)
Oh, one day (One day, baby)
We will rise again (One day, baby)

Oh, one day (One day, baby)
Oh, one day (One day, baby)
One day (One day, baby)
Oh, one day (One day, baby)
We will rise again (One day, baby)

One day, baby, baby (One day, baby)
Don't have to run no more
Don't have to run no more
We don't have to run no more

Kaleo - Vor í Vaglaskógi

 

Kvöldið er okkar og vor um Vaglaskóg
Við skulum tjalda í grænum berjamó
Leiddu mig vinur í lundinn frá í gær
Lindin þar niðar og birkihríslan grær

Leikur í ljósum
Lokkum og angandi rósum
Leikur í ljósum
Lokkum hinn fagnandi blær

Daggperlur glitra, um dalinn færist ró
Draumar þess rætast, sem gistir Vaglaskóg
Kveldrauðu skini á krækilyngið slær
Kyrrðin er friðandi, mild og angurvær

Leikur í ljósum
Lokkum og angandi rósum
Leikur í ljósum
Lokkum hinn þaggandi blær

Kaleo - Sofðu Unga Ástin Mín

 

Sofðu unga ástin mín
Úti regnið grætur
Mamma geymir gullin þín
Gamlan legg og völuskrín
Við skulum ekki vaka um dimmar nætur

Það er margt sem myrkrið veit
Minn er hugur þrotinn
Oft ég svartan sandinn leit
Svið og grænan engireit
Í jöklinum hljóða dauðar djúpar sprungur

Sofðu lengi sofðu rótt
Seint mun best að vakna
Mæðum kenna mun þér fljótt
Meðan hallar degi skjótt
Mennirnir elska, missa, gráta og sakna

Mennirnir elska, missa, gráta og sakna

Kaleo - Backbone

 
Hold the line, yeah
Do you fight for pride or glory?
Do you hold your scars close to your heart?
Fall behind, yeah
Who will live to tell your story?
You were taught to leave no man behind

I don't know where you have gone
You used to be the heart of this town
Now you waste your tears on someone else
I don't know where you are now
You used to have a heart of gold
Only trust yourself and no one else

Hold your fire, yeah
Brave young men will fall before they
Ever get to watch their young ones grow
Hear me now, yeah
Carry all my sins and I will
Learn to love the flag and nothing more

Oh, I don't know where you have gone
You used to be the heart of this town
Wasted all your tears on someone else
I don't know where you are now
You used to have a heart of gold
Only trust yourself and no one else
Oh, no one else

Oh, oh...
You've got your back against the wall
Say, where's your backbone, brother?
Where's your backbone, brother?
Where's your backbone, brother?
Where's your backbone, brother?
Where's your backbone, brother?
Where's your backbone, brother?
Where's your backbone, brother?

You've got your back against the wall
Say, where's your backbone, brother?
Where's your backbone, brother?
Where's your backbone, brother?

Kaleo - Break My Baby

 
Sun is down on east side
We all turn a blind eye
Well, you know I've got your back
Would you ever do that
For me?
For me
For me, for me

Well, Billy Boy is gifted
You know you can't deny it
Don't leave us empty-handed
'Cause you know we don't deserve that
From you
From you
From you, from you

I wanna break my baby
You know she loves to fake it
I wanna break my baby
Yeah, hold me down
Break her down
Whoah now

They'll take you in, then spit you out
You're only worth how much you sell
Yeah now
You've come too far
We both agree
Just give the people what they need
Well, well

Will you turn away?
Will you take my place?
Does it start to show
Now the pressure's on?
Will they call my name
When it all goes up in flames?
Or will you be part of my sun?

I wanna break my baby
You know she loves to fake it
I wanna break my baby
Yeah now
Oh, hold me down
Well, break her down
Well, break her

Woah, hold my love
Woah, hold my love
Woah, hold my love
Woah

Break my baby (Break my baby)
Break my baby (Break my baby)
Break my baby

You know she loves to fake it
Break my baby
