Toto was formed in Los Angeles in 1977 by David Paich, Steve Lukather, the son of hollywood Assistant Director Bill Lukather, Bobby Kimball, brothers Steve and Jeff Porcaro, and David Hungate, the son of former United States Congressman and United States District Court Judge William L. Hungate. The bandmembers had met in high school and at studio sessions in the 1970s, when they became some of the busiest session musicians in the music business. Composed entirely of seasoned studio musicians, Toto seemed to come out of nowhere. They did not get known first on the club circuit as nearly all bands do prior to being signed by a label.

Home Of The Brave Lyrics

Toto

Everythings gonna be alright boys, help is on the way
Hold your head up high now, theres no need to cry now
Were not running anymore
Leave the politics behind boys, theyre not working anymore
Theres so much more at stake here, its make or break here
Havent we been here before - tell me what were waiting for
Chorus:
You gotta remember, you dont have to be afraid
You still have the freedom to learn, and say what you wanna say
You gotta remember, dont let em take away
The land we call the home of the brave
Who sings the song of the people, you dont hear it anymore
I heard it late last summer, to the beat of a different drummer
It never sounded quite like that before
So youre trying to shake this feeling, that troubles 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 were waiting for
Chorus
(instrumental break)
Chorus repeats 2x
