We come from a long line of wanderers.
Clap your hands, ring them bells, tale is told and time will tell.
Raise your voice, make a sound, bring the kingdom to the ground.
We came here with strange beliefs,
sent from a future peace,
to rebuild the ancient roads.
We are the next souls.

I was looking for that everlasting light.
I was searching every corner every morning, every night
For a stream to dip my face in, a place to get saved in
I was looking for that choir all god's creatures have a place in
Oh!
I heard the voice of the lord in the forest just before it
got destroyed, I was floored, overjoyed, wanted more
I could sing in the choir
if the choir boys sang with a rhythm like that.
get back.
get back to where you once belonged.
you can ditch the rest, but believe that this is true:
I always believed in you.
(Instrumental)
We were slaves to the war, we were always keeping score,
We were doomed to walk the night, afraid we'd wake and find we're crying for
someone to say, "believe me, i love you, you need me,
when you hurt yourself it grieves me, now change."
you can ditch the rest, but believe that this is true: i always believe

i've been down to the depot and i balanced on the rails
touched the coal to my lips and left notes wrote on the shale
and who do you suppose would be the last ones to know
oh the baker, the buried, and me
so early you warned me you loved me and i got
so much learning so quickly and so quickly i forgot
but it's not too late, i hear the calling of the corn
saying join what you learned here to the song of the lord
oh be clear, be clear, see the light in my tears,
i been waiting and waiting for your face to appear
don't you rustle through the treetops, don't you whistle round my ears,
call me down into the humus, to the soil i hold dear
trouble, oh trouble, you were born with your hand on my heal
lover, oh lover, do you really feel what i feel?
