lyrics

Citadel of Love

While the world tells you that it’s funny to be cruel
And the world laughs with the mean and the crass
Do you want to believe it, abandon control?
Reward your body, surrender your soul?
Well, climb on board and join the rush
Straight to the bottom of the merciless crush

You should be gathering (gathering) like all the little birds
You should be working (working) with deeds not words
Forming a circle (like the nesting dove)
You could raise up (straw by straw) - Citadel of love

Thought by thought (like brick by brick)
Word by word (like stick by stick)
Step by step (like stone by stone)
Friend by friend (no longer alone)

You should be gathering (gathering) like all the little birds
You should be working (working) with deeds not words
Working to build (high above)
Guard our hearts (guard our hearts) - Citadel of love

When the world tells you that it’s funny to be cruel
And the world laughs with the mean and the crass
Will you believe it, abandon control?
Reward your body to surrender your soul?
You gonna climb on board and join the rush?
Go straight to the bottom of this merciless crush?

Or will you be gathering (gathering) like all the little birds?
Will you be working (working) with deeds not words?
Forming a circle (like the nesting dove)
To raise up (straw by straw) - Citadel of love

Thought by thought (like brick by brick)
Word by word (like stick by stick)
Step by step (like stone by stone)
Friend by friend (no longer alone) – Citadel of love

The Goat Family San Francisco, California

With harmonies storming in from the West and rhythms shaking loose from the American songbook, this band packs folk, country, banda, and blues into a wobbly wagon on a cross-country trip bound for butt-shaking happiness.
