Jackson Browne - We Can Be Lyrics






Talk with me
I believe that we can find a tomorrow
Lend to me and I will try to borrow
I can see you and me
Love is free
We can be free

Sing with me
Melodies that soar as high as a swallow
I can lead the way if you will follow
I can see you and me
Love is free
We can be free

You show me
Words of beauty that describe your love
Let me know the things that you are sure of
I can see you and me
Love is free
We can be free

You know me
I'm as reckless as a mountain stream
Careless as a could-be, someday dream
I can see you and me
Love is free
We can be free

    During my teens, Jackson Browne was really hot. His other songs, Running on empty and Stay were other good tunes. All on vinyl and cassette tapes. This was the rock and roll 70s. And bou were we rockin.

    m.... s....

    You need to get a grip, maybe say a prayer before you say anything.

  21. V.... V....

    Fucking Amazing!

  22. k.... w....

    One of those deeply meaningful songs that take a while before you can experience the existential truth contained in the lyrics. Sounds better today but it feels so much more.

  23. b.... ....

    I’m 61. Love this song. In the end it’s a wink of the eye. No truer words said.

  24. M.... ....

    Anyone as nostalgic as I am, songs like this hurt...in a great way.

  25. L.... K....

    Money over all. So damn sad.

  26. b.... k....

    really who are we under the bridge a how a world gone wrong tho spend to live to die for nothing

  27. P.... M....

    I find it difficult to listen to some of Jackson Browns songs, too emotional but it feels so good when I can listen. Amen.

  28. K.... O....

    Orange jump suits look great on you idiots! Roflmao!

  29. K.... O....

    Not me. Boot Camp ended yrs ago. They couldn’t keep up, got mad and went home. Men are such babies. I’m the one who got shot at. 😎⚡️FU! You missed.

  30. P.... F....

    You’re right.

  31. B.... C....

    JB he's the best

  32. R.... P....

    Always late at night I put on my headphones, click on play, and even with the lights out I close my eyes and as I listen to the words I stop pretending.

  33. S.... R....

    Said my prayer

  34. R.... G....

    Thank you Jackson brown

  35. S.... B....

    Jackson Browne saved my life with his music when I was in my 20s!!!

  36. J.... B....

    Life is like a squiggly line in the middle of the road. It's not always straight is it? Just like this brilliant photo.

  37. s.... ....

    3:55,,, Mmmmmmmmm!!!

  38. 1.... ....

    perfect

  39. C.... M....

    I took my kids to taco bell to lunch yesterday after leaving a horribly toxic relationship. I heard this song playing over the speakers while we ate... as i listened more closely to the lyrics i realized my kids deserve such a better life. I broke down crying right there over my nachos and got up and hugged them both as tightly as i could without hurting them and apologized. Im sure i looked crazy to bystanders, but my kids didnt care. We hugged and cried, wiped our tears and smiled continuing our meal together.

    C.... M....

    I hope all goes well for you Christy. I'm in the UK and have always appreciated the lyrics of this song.

  40. h.... ....

    I am really curious as who the pretender is.....

  50. C.... B....

    Ur awrsome, allmans love you ....

  51. B.... P....

    One happy idiot checking in 😎

  52. M.... ....

    Young as he was he sure had a way of telling a story from the perspective of someone who has lived an entire lifetime.

  53. S.... W....

    Born in '81 here. I absolutely love Jackson Browne

  54. D.... ....

    Love the song but I also love the pic in this clip, it could be anywhere in the world and I think this song relates to just about everyone in this world.

  55. L.... W....

    Jackson is a beautiful soul as a songwriter. Indeed and appreciate!

  56. J.... Z....

    THIS is the greatest song to have come out of the entire era..that brown represented.....nothing comes close to describing society and its people during that period........a Masterpiece!

  57. L.... W....

    "I want to know what became of the changes we waited for Love to bring" well truth be told you only really have yourself to make the changes needed to have a Happy Life and you damn well better Love You !!!

    L.... W....

    Seconded.

  58. M.... S....

    I lived my life like this until i met suzie

  59. M.... D....

    Quite a poignant take on the unexamined life, the day to day pulling the wagon to make ends meet. Can feel his longing for finding more to this life. But there is a pissant arrogance to this coming from a dude who has made a life work while sleeping til noon and playing piano all day whilst criticizing the "happy idiots".

    M.... D....

    He is being ironic.

  60. W.... W....

    A song for so many songs gone unwritten.

  61. r.... p....

    One of my favorite songs, so poetic and so true. Tom Petty loved it also, wish he had written it.

  62. E.... H....

    Thnx darling , this man is grateful to you for these wonderful tunes with words that carry tje hopes and dreams

  63. P.... K....

    such an artist

  64. F.... L....

    Awesome, real music, real life, jackson writes and performs just as well as he did 40 years ago......

  65. K.... S....

    Jackson Browne, Billy Squier, and the Little River Band...so much greater than most people will ever know.

  66. P.... F....

    I’m 67...agree. Special song...sung by a special man. Thanks JB.

  67. K.... G....

    To me it's a song about the child of the 60's, realizing he's selling out to the Man and that it's inevitable for him.

  68. J.... R....

    This song made me remind us when we broke down on Crystal Beach in Galveston first time we played Jackson Browne all night had a fire lit and drank liquor we evolved that night we became better people but we know many of y'all will never understand the meaning or the moral unless you know Jackson Browne🤔🤔✌

  69. S.... B....

    These are some of the best lyrics I've ever seen written. The only other artist who comes close is dan fogelberg.

    S.... B....

    @Scott Berkowitz I agree completely powerful song and so true.

  70. s.... w....

    I’m gonna be a happy idiot and struggle for the legal tender ✌️

  71. G.... A....

    Simply timeless, rendered masterfully with wisdom from the ages. I have every LP. Mr. Brown had a way of writing that painted a picture in your mind.

  72. l.... w....

    wonderful song

  73. L.... P....

    I'm GONNA PRETEND I'm YOUNG tonite in my 5hr driving class for a photo radar ticket..😢😖

  74. d.... H....

    Working since I was 11 years old at 20 working construction jobs for 35 years now retired it still move me

  75. k.... h....

    Don't agree with his politics, but he is brilliant in his songs.

  76. L.... ....

    And we'll fill in the colours in each others paint-by-numbers dreams

  77. D.... B....

    Love Jackson Browne! This song is awesome. I'm sure many people can reflect on this song too.

  78. S.... E....

    JUST BRILLIANT!!

  79. S.... E....

    STORY OF A LIFE(MINE).ALWAYS " RUNNING ON EMPTY", NEVER FINDING WHAT EVER I THOUGHT WAS IMPORTANT FOR ME TO BE TOTALLY HAPPY. " EVERYONE I KNEW", THEY'RE GONE, ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. OLD FLAMES R EXTINGUISHED, UNEXSESSABLE, UNABLE TO BE FOUND,; & SLOWLY I'M GOING BLIND.

  80. s.... ....

    Did this for 42 years... Retired... Lovin it...

  81. s.... s....

    Never have known if I should enjoy this song or avoid it. Not so pretty when at 65 it applies to me

    s.... s....

    I think every person on the planet can relate to this song. We have all had to make compromises on our dreams in order to be able to live in the world xx

  82. H.... B....

    Maybe his best.

  83. J.... B....

    Master of words

  84. T.... R....

    i get so sick of reading these reviews that long for the past and fail to appreciate the great music being made today ... I am the biggest fan of Jackson Browne ever ... one of the great lyricists of the last 50 years of pop music ... I can quote from many of his songs and often do ... (and not a bad singer either) ... but for God's sake...stop the belly aching as if their are not amazing lyricists and singers today ... sample a little John Mayer ... or any number of amazing artists around today and stop the whining .

  85. m.... b....

    As a TV Reporter, I interviewed Paul McCartney and asked him besides Dylan, who he thought was the best American Songwriter.
    He immediately answered Jackson Browne. He couldn't have been more correct!

  86. E.... D....

    Susan and I often quote a line or two from Jackson's PRETENDER (...get up and do it again...)

  87. N.... L....

    Life in the slow lane.. Sweat equity.

  88. A.... S....

    In my moments of great drepression this song lifts me up and makes me appreciate life as a poor man working for the legal tender.

  89. m.... b....

    Folk rock

  90. M.... ....

    Ur not alone. He is, without a doubt, the best lyricist of all time. Just reference, in addition, The Dancer....he always gives me the courage to go on...

  91. M.... C....

    I loved him til he started to slap Darrell Hannah around.

  92. S.... C....

    A beautiful but sad song with a lot of meaning. ❤⚘

  93. R.... H....

    There's a modest wooden yellow house just beneath the Freeway 101 overpass in Ventura Ca. I always think of this song when I drive by.

  94. S.... M....

    Say a prayer for the pretender, the one who gets up and does it all again, every day, and acts like they’re okay, when they’re really not. Sorry to say it folks, but that’s me. And I’m sure it’s a lot of other people out there too, than can relate to this song. Jackson Browne is a beautiful musician though. Here’s to the ones, here’s to those of us that are the strong ones, and they have been for their whole entire lives, because they’ve had no other choice in the matter but to do so. I feel very fake and fraudulent, acting like I’m happy every day when I’m really not, but I have so much optimism and hope for my future, that it’s unreal.

  95. J.... L....

    We're all pretenders.

  96. T.... W....

    As I get older I realize this song is about me. What the hell happened?? All the love that came and went while trying to make a living. I started out so young and strong only to surender!!

  97. L.... C....

    Welcome to USA where a German can write basic words about his day and sell it to all the tools who think he is a master song writer.....bleh.

    L.... C....

    Yoy obviously don't know good music or songwriting when you hear it.

    L.... C....

    @Jimmy Lewis yeap you got me there buster and I'll send you a postcard on my reasons.

    L.... C....

    you are an obvious ahole. please don't have children .....please!!!!

    L.... C....

    @Zorak Zoltan your mom begs me for more sperm daily while your grandma licks it 👵 oh yeah. I just sent you a postcard.

  98. K.... P....

    He is the all time best !

  99. j.... b....
