so in january, we're getting married.

True love is not the kind of thing you should turn down
Don't ever turn it down

-the Avett Brothers

i was taking a walk. . . . 

when i saw you smile i saw a dream come true. 

cause i have been waiting for a long, long time

for a boy like you

i won't be waiting anymore 'cause i know

i was made for you.

dead man's will.

Give this stone to my brother
Because we found it playing in the barnyard
Many years ago 

Give this bone to my father
He'll remember hunting in the hills
When I was ten years old

May my love reach you all
I lost it in myself and buried too long
Now that I come to fall 

Please say it's not too late
Now that I'm dead and gone 

Give this string to my mother
It pulled the baby teeth
She keeps inside the drawer 

Give this ring to my lover
I was scared and stupid not to ask
For her hand long before 

May my love reach you all
I lost it in myself and buried too long
Now that I come to fall
Please say it's not too late
Now that I'm dead and gone

everybody's gonna love today.

all my life i've been prayin for

one day this all will change
treat people the same
stop with the violence
down with the hate
one day we'll all be free

and proud to be
under the same sun
singing songs of freedom
