Freak
Is what the world calls me
They don't understand
So they try to stop me
Hide
I can't hide
So I stand up straight with Christ by my side
No no no no need to be tongue tied
So I say it loud and I say it with pride
Died
He died
Christ gave it all but He's coming back to life
Now I've got a reason to saying the things I say
And you know I've got a reason to be doing the things I do
Because soon very soon
God's coming back and I want to be playing His tune
So, here we go
CHORUS
We're a band
We're a band
With guitars in our hands
We're crossing the land
We're a band
We're a band
For the Son of man
We will take a stand
You can make a plan
He'll be back again
We're a band
We're a band
We're a band
We're a band
Hey!
Please remove your hand from my mouth
It's been long enough so please do it now
uuh uuh uuh uuh uuh uuh uuh
You know you can't censor me
When wall flowers start to bloom
Four more voices fill the room
Say, you better get out of the way
REPEAT CHORUS

Behind the Song:“‘We’re A Band”’ was kind of an anthem for us. We didn’t think it would be a big hit. It was just fun for us to get on stage and sing about our camaraderie. We still play that live. It’s kind of our anthem on how we’re going to keep on doing it. We’re brothers up here rocking out and it’s fun. Get out of the way because we’re coming to your town!” - Mark Stuart (
