“Brother Run Fast” is the opening song of KALEO’s second studio album, Surface Sounds.
The singer can be seen as warning aspiring musicians or talents to avoid being used by the money-hungry music industry. He tells his fellow artists to run fast and far away from this kind of industry.
This theme...
[Intro]
One by one, now
One by one, we all fall
One by one, Lord
One by one, we will all fall
Open your arms wide
Open your eyes wide
Brother, run fast
They're coming your way
Oh, brother, run fast
They're headin' your way
[Verse 1]
I've got my heart bleedin' for a change
I've stood by and closed my eyes in shame
You'll see them someday, you'll find them again
As the good Lord will give, the good Lord will take
[Chorus]
Oh, brother, run fast, brother, run fast
They're coming your way, coming your way
Brother, run fast, brother, run fast
They're headin' your way, headin' your way
[Verse 2]
It's best you not speak of what you found
Please don't pass judgment on me now
Don't seek the truth, they'll make their own rules, oh
And when they've come for me, they'll come back for you
[Chorus]
Oh, brother, run fast, brother, run fast
They're coming your way, coming your way
Brother, run fast, brother, run fast
They're headin' your way, headin' your way
[Bridge]
One by one, now
One by one, we will fall
One by one, Lord
One by one, we will all fall
One by one
One by one, we will all fall
Spreadin' your arms wide
Open your eyes wide
Brother, run fast
They're coming your way
[Chorus]
Oh, brother, run fast, brother, run fast
They're coming your way, coming your way, oh
Brother, run fast, brother, run fast
They're headin' your way, headin' your way
[Outro]
Brother, run fast, brother, run fast
Brother, don't break, brother, don't break
Brother, run fast
They're coming your way
