Keep Us Connected

Pre-verse:
A pattern repeating
I find myself here all alone
I know
I’ll pick up the pieces
Repair what is broken alone
I know

Verse:
Memories etched in my mind
Of mom and dad
A cool big brother I
Would idolise
So full of laughter
And I could trust in the four of us
They flew away
Nothing to indicate
Calamity
All so young alive, oooh
They ruptured into a million shards of light
And none of them would survive

Chorus:
How come everywhere that I go
I’m solo?
Am I at my best unaccompanied?
My whole life has been “fix this” and save you
I’ll light the path
And keep us connected

Verse:
My fabric is woven
With love and loss
I was just a cadet when we met
Hemmer’s belief in me
Changed my life
I found my place
And said goodbye
I absorb all the pain, mmm
I hear everyone’s voice calling my name
Building systems I strengthen ties that bind
So no one has to be alone

Chorus:
How come everywhere that I go
I’m solo?
Am I at my best unaccompanied?
My whole life has been “fix this” and save you
I’ll light the path
And keep us connected

Bridge:
The pattern’s repeating
Guiding and teaching me
I know
I know
Listen for signals
I’m here
You are reaching me
Come home

Chorus:
Everywhere I go
I’m good with solo
At my best I have everything I need
My whole life has been “fix this” and save you
That’s what I do
I keep us connected
I keep us connected
