I see you working in the daylight I see you working in the night I see you doing what you gotta do You are standing for what's right I see you managing your happiness I see you caring for your friends I see you living in the moment Your smile puts me on the mend Oooh, puts me on the mend Hey hey! I found my hero When I see the moments I see You rise above the world When I see the things that I see You rise above the world When the world gets a bit darker You say let's turn on the light When people get a bit darker You make them shine so bright Oooh, so bright Hey hey! I found my hero

Days Gone By 05:05
Living in a world where the sun don't rise Is living in a world where it's dark all the time Fear is the word that controls us all When I'm scared I don't know who to call The days have changed and they're not the same People say get out of my way But here's some love to fill your cup Don't look down unless you're helping them up The days have changed but they're not the same Living in a world that's full of pain Nobody's trying to be the frame Of the life we should be living When we look back on this moment Will we be granted atonement? A world without a simple smile These are truly days gone by Cover your face, but not your eyes So people here can realize That the crisis here has taken a toll But at the end of the day we still have our souls And when this ends will we return Will we treat people like they deserve? We'll climb this hurdle, it's a steep hill I don't believe in much, but I believe in people The days have changed but they're not the same Living in a world that's full of pain Nobody's trying to be the frame Of the life we should be living When we look back on this moment Will we be granted atonement? A world without a simple smile These are truly days gone by

Short Beach 04:26
Short beach That's my home Short beach That's my home Well I ain't goin' nowhere As long as I've got my own Well I went down 95 to decide where to go And the voices in my head tell me what I need to know I'm getting off 53, cuz that's the only one I need I'm heading down, back to town, to good old short beach

Summer Day 06:11
Flexing the muscles at the side of your mouth Is a feeling that we all know Reducing the pain, so you don't feel the same Is how you help yourself grow The sun's rays, are here to stay As the days of dark fade Let's raise our hands up to the sky For summer is here today Whoa, can you feel it? Whoa, it's a summer day We're care free, we're feeling good The days are full of laughter We're chasing this feeling, to live this today Yes, this is what we're after The sun's rays, are here to stay As the days of dark fade Let's raise our hands up to the sky For summer is here today

Make this house a home, do you know any other way? Settle the score with you, and believe what you say Day dreams are fine, as long as you know What is real is what's real, now what do you have to show? Follow the sailing wind, if you get turned around again It'll point you Stay the course you know, and let it flow You know you When the morning comes, you won't run It's the way to go When the day arrives, you'll know the side, or at least The right direction Make the friendships last, they're a celebration When you walk your path, to your final destination We are not measured, by the miles we are apart We are measured, by the heart Follow the sailing wind, if you get turned around again It'll point you Stay the course you know, and let it flow You know you When the morning comes, you won't run It's the way to go When the day arrives, you'll know the side, or at least The right direction

Every morning that I wake I try to greet each day with a fiber of My meaning that I hold, it's near and dear to me It's easier said than done I'm not the first to say But trying is better than none So that's a way We can't change what's past It ain't what ya wanna hear I try to move so fast So stuff don't get near Don't need a mountain or train To get away from it all Let go of the pain, and catch before you Fall, catch before you fall I know it's hard I can't even say How did it turn into this today? It seemed so perfect, it seemed surreal And now there's a hole, so how do I deal? Fall, catch before you fall

Two Faces 03:58
They only see what you want them to see You hide behind the truth You show them what you want them to see Forgotten your roots When no one's around, you ain't even you That's the saddest thing You smile and claim this person is true But the pendulum swings One face hides the other One cowers in fear One isn't like the other For nothing seems too clear I see two faces One ain't like the other I see two faces I won't pay no bother You say you're trying to be who you are But that ain't true I see you from a mile away That ain't you When no one's around, you ain't even you That's the saddest thing You smile and claim this person is true But the pendulum swings One face hides the other One cowers in fear One isn't like the other For nothing seems too clear I see two faces One ain't like the other I see two faces I won't pay no bother

Last Train 04:18
I'm runnin', trying to escape And every possible route just stands in my way, I'm gone Without a trace I'm on the last, train outta here Runnin' from your problems, never solves But with them out of the picture, will they dissolve I hope so, I really do I'm on the last, train outta here Peace is just, within my grasp Hoping I can just be, happy at last I wanna smile, feel so free And I don't need no train, to escape

Be Fair 06:50
I won't stand with no man who won't look another in the eye And say I accept you for who you are I won't bleed with the fools who think the problems don't exist Man how could you believe all their lies? The color of your skin should not be the reason alone Why you are targeted with so much hate And I won't fight or be physical and I sure won't take you down But rest assured I will try to open your mind Be fair, just be fair Try to see things from others' point of view Be fair, just be fair And pray it doesn't happen to you And the day has come to those who've pained, they're finally standing up They're marching the streets with their pounding feet, crying out enough is enough And we can share their voice, for it's one common point Let's all be treated kindly and fair And if you don't agree, then hopefully you'll see There's only one thing we want, and its change And we can change the world, bring the light a little closer And hopefully we'll smile when this is over Be fair, just be fair Try to see things from others' point of view Be fair, just be fair And pray it doesn't happen to you

about

Roots is JSB's sixth studio album, and the band's first acoustic record. With traditions of bluegrass, folk, and a bit of rock n' roll, the band temporarily trades their electric instruments in for some classic Americana vibes.
