Home of the Brave ( Toto ) Acoustic by Joost Vergoossen
One of my favourite Toto songs. It was a hell of a job translating this into acoustic guitar. Thanks to my girl Jacky, who came up with the idea, of which I thought was from somebody who didn't know anything about guitarplaying!
How wrong could I be...
The reason I made this video, is because of the lyrics, they still make a lot of sense, especially in this day of age! ( Check the Lyrics at the bottom )
We gotta stand up, stay awake, inform ourselves, speak up and be brave!

Home of the Brave
Toto
Every thing's gonna be alright boys, help is on the way
Hold your head up high now, there's no need to cry now
We're not running anymore
Leave the politics behind boys, they're not working anymore
There's so much more at stake here, it's make or break here
Haven't we been here before - tell me what we're waiting for
You gotta remember, you don't have to be afraid
You still have the freedom to learn, and say what you want to say
You gotta remember, don't let 'em take away
The land we call the home of the brave
Who sings the song of the people, you don't hear it anymore
I heard it late last summer, to the beat of a different drummer
It never sounded quite like that before
So you're trying to shake this feeling, that trouble's right outside the door
You lie awake each dark night, like a time bomb wound up too tight
A storm in waiting, just offshore - tell me what we're waiting for
