Exiles

Distant home, across the earth we roam
Leaving all that we possess behind us
Known by name, we make no earthly claim
Waiting for the one we seek to find us

Exiles of another kind, with our maker intertwine
Vessels on a sea of love
Aliens to mother earth, waiting for the second birth
Vessels on a sea of love

Out of bounds, no boundary surrounds
No one's worldly object of desire
Nations fade, but this foundations' laid
Shaped in the divine refiner's fire

Exiles of another kind, with our maker intertwine
Vessels on a sea of love
Aliens to mother earth, waiting for the second birth
Vessels on a sea of love

Eyes are fixed on the goal ahead
So alive but to the world we're dead
Inside out and upside down
Each man stands on the rock he's found
Twice removed from the human race
We found our peace in a hiding place
Strangers livin' in a foreign land
Now we fall, but in the end we'll stand

Exiles of the world

No release for prisoners of peace
Willing to be slaves of our own choosing
Promising to serve no mortal king
Gaining so much more than we are losing

Exiles of another kind, with our maker intertwine
Vessels on a sea of love
Aliens to mother earth, waiting for the second birth
Vessels on a sea of love
