Where I'm From

Where I'm from
Iluminated lanterns glow
And never flicker when strong winds blow
The scent of cedar, the taste citrus on my tongue

The sound of silence
I'll feel like home
I can see it in the eyes of my son
And the eyes of my daughter
When I'm from

Where I'm from
The lost and broken sing along
In every language
A sacred song
I can hear in the voice of the mother
And the cry of child
When I'm from
When I'm from
When I'm from

Here I

Later on in the holy war
Find myself on the threshing floor
Pray in somebody will stay with me
While I remaid in between
Look for lie and a breaking of day
Somebody stay with me

Where I'm from
I've stood out side these gates before
Trying to listen
And hear a voice

I can feel it in the middle of the rain
In the warmth of a fire

I can feel it when my heart starts to break
I was born to desire

Where I'm from
Where I'm from
Where I'm from
Where I'm from
