| Lyrics: | Emotions like rain Can swell to a flood And fear is the same It sometimes draws blood It’s a fluid that flows Through everyone’s veins It shows us we’re one Despite all our names Nothing’s worth fighting over Not religion or race Can’t you see that division and hatred Will only lead to more pain? It runs through our hearts It’s what we’re made of If we’d only realize That we are all blood We’re not all that different We’re from the same source When we harm each other It only ends in remorse We all have our scars And anger cuts deep When one of us suffers Every single one of us bleeds Repeat Chorus We are not alone We all need each other We are not alone We’re sisters and brothers If love the answer When love is the answer They’ll be no more blood Written by Dave Tough & Nathan Anderton |

Said Dave: "I enjoy making a living making music as there is something always new to learn. If you know one instrument, you can learn another. If you know how to engineer one style, you can always learn another. My main question I ask myself when writing and making music is "what gives you goosebumps". The mechanics of songwriting and engineering can get quite technical, however at the end of the day its what makes you feel something."
