biography
Giving back and seeing differences being made is what drives me. One day I'm going to open a non-profit relief organization for the children of Tanzania. Currently I'm setting up a fundraiser to help sponsor their education.
Motivation for our song came from a service trip done by myself and Thomas Rockford in Tanzania, Africa.
Any royalties this song generates will be put in a fund to support the children it was written for. Please help spread this song and its message.

Ladies and gentlemen may I have your attention please, may I have your attention please
(Brendan)
I look in the mirror and see nothing
Makes me think, what have I been doing?
I have everything, yet my life is so incomplete
Why dont ya just hit delete
-- yea --
Its this life we live
I just dont understand
Always looking for the next big thing to land
Our eyes are lit up by dollars
Waving goodbye to the white collars
-- peace --
Greed, fame, and fortune consume us
But at the end of the day its dust
The homeless man on the corner
With an arm outstretched
Searching for a donor
So easily we look the other way
Day after day
The answer is always
Not today
(Tom Singing/Brendan)
One little kid with stars in his eyes
(Dreaming of a future that hell never find)
One thing he knows is hes gotta try
(Cuz its the only way that hell survive)
This is the shit that tears at your soul
(While everyone cares about the things they own)
And this boys dreams are never known
(And it makes me shiver that the worlds so cold)
(Tom)
Everyday someone cries, someone falls, someone dies
No one really knows why
No one ever really tries
To reach out
To the kids
With no home
With no friends
No one ever stops to think about the kids lives at stake
With no momma aint no poppa
Lost a sister
Aint no brother
Just another empty soul
Trying to find a way back home
Weeks go by and still alive
God knows he can still survive
--- Oh man ---
So instead of making the next time
Lend a hand
Give some time
To the kids
With no home
With no hope
With no love
And maybe we will understand
Life is something much more grand
--- Yea ---

We think of ourselves as good people
But really what good have we done?
Watch out or this might turn into a rerun
The starving children
We see them over and over again
Each time they touch our heart
But we dont even know where to start
Soon we forget their faces
Sinking back into our safety bases
(Tom)
--- But the call remains ---
--- Yea ---
(Brendan)
I say to myself why is it this way?
Its because we do everything halfway
We live our perfect lives
And dont think twice
How about this homeslice
Its time to roll the dice
(Tom)
Some days I wonder why I dont see
A tear in a kids eyes
Who dont have everything a kid wants inside
Cuz God has given them the grace to live on
To live free
Like not we
To live life happily
And some days when we find that things that we thought
That we needed in this world
Were nothing but the greed of our hearts
Those kids will still be there
Those kids will still be here
They will be everywhere
And you cant shut your eyes
Cuz there they lie
Deep in your heart
And in your mind
Just to make sure that you wont forget
All the people you left behind
