lyrics

I have been to the mountain, I have been to the sea
I have crossed the great desert to swim in slow Idalian streams
and I bow to the creator or whatever that may mean

I have known the poor the true salts of the earth
I have met bodies who have only been taught how to hurt
and I am so sorry for what parts I have made worst
I will be haunted until my bones are pushing dirt

we are born with love abundant a never ending well
then we learn to hold it closely and hoard it for ourselves
as if that will bring us riches, gathering dust up on the shelf

I have seen such beauty, such wonder, such grace
such poignant graffiti scrawled on heavens gate
no matter your religion we share this birthplace
as all convictions share a common fate

so raise your flag proudly whatever it represents
kneel in real humility to whatever God you're pledged
take in the beauty, because it's brief what we have left

I have sang these songs to the great unending void
I have stood on the edge of all we have destroyed
and I am so angry for what terror we've given voice
there is so much more beauty so much more to rejoice...
