We Belong

For the goal we left behind
For the rose, for the pine
For the kindling in the fire
We walked into the night
Following under the stars
The compass they already are
For the footprints in the sand
We traveled across the land

And something inside of me knows
The further we head and the farther we go
We were closer to calling it home

And something inside of me knows
The older we get and the farther we go
An oasis in our eyes, the desert on our clothes
We're a band of men, scared and proud
Waiting for heaven to send us a cloud
Pitching a tent, tearing them down
Waiting for shade
Well, 'cause it all, it all comes and goes
Or so they say

Oh, when the tongue has gone dry
The stones grow high
When the beggars lead the blind
To a legacy of lies
Just pray to the sky
For the mountains to collide
For the bold, for the kind
For the harvest of a life
We've been living off the land
Sticking by rivers
We've been drinking from our hands
As careless as kings
And we're no caravan
We keep what we carry
And leave what we can't

'Cause it all, all comes and goes
So they say

Oh, for the goal we left behind
For the rose, for the pine
For the kindling in the fire
We walked into the night
Following under the stars
The compass they already are
For the footprints in the sand
We traveled across the land

And something inside of me knows
The further we head and the farther we go
We were closer to calling it home

Oh, and something inside of me knows
The older we get and the farther we go
An oasis in our eyes, the desert on our clothes
We're a band of men, scared and proud
Waiting for heaven to send us a cloud
Pitching a tent, tearing them down
Waiting for shade to cover the ground
And we walk in the dark, sleep in the day
Carry a flame to lighten the way
And the head of the pack's a part of the heart
That bleeds for change and leaves no scars

We are hungry and alive
We are hands, we are eyes
We are slaves in a way, captives [?]
A language of age
For the mothers and fathers who are raising the gates
For the sons and the daughters who belong
In this place

No, we don't listen to tales
And tell of tomorrow
We carry our flags with fortune and sorrow
A terrible ache, a coming of age for
The pillars of change that stand in the way
We belong
In this place
Oh, we belong
We belong
We belong

Oh-oh-oh-oh [x8]

We belong
In this place
'Cause it all, all comes and goes
So they say
