I Will Never Leave

3. I Will Never Leave 3:51
I have often felt alone
I've walked miles by myself
I've lived close to the bone
I have often felt betrayed
By the people who've left me
By the lovers who've strayed
Though I've mostly kept to myself
I've always believed in whats true

The time to be silent is fading fast
The world that we've built is crumbling into the past
I take your hand firmly and jump into the fray
On a wing and a prayer that we'll find our way

To a place where we can speak the truth
'Cause I have nothing up my sleeve
This has always been my home
And I will never leave

I have always been afraid
Of the path that you took
And the mess that you made
I have always been confused
By the things that you did
And the reasons you used
I mostly kept to myself
But I always held close to the truth

The time to be silent has now come to an end
The bond that once held us can no longer bend
I take your hand firmly and jump into the fray
On a wing and a prayer that we'll find our way

To a place where we'll be joyous and free
In this I do believe
This has always been my home
And I will never leave


And for every lifeless body
That washes up upon your shore
For every hopeless child and mother,
Sleepless fleeing madman war
For every smug indifferent
For every smothered light
For every time we think justice
Is someone else's fight

There's a place we'll find our peace
In this I do believe
This has always been my home
And I will never leave

I admired men who spoke the truth
Who stood up for others
They were the heroes of my youth
When did statesmen fade away?
When did fools take the field?
When did lies win the day?

For we are the land of the free
And we are the home of the brave
On ground we stole from native folk
In homes we built with slaves
There's a pile of broken nations
Built on tyranny and fear
Of empty cowed ovations
For the bloated profiteer
Now I know how things got this way
And I know you cant remake the past
But this is a chance to rise above it all
Our hope is fading fast
There's a place we'll find our peace
In this I do believe
This has always been our home
And we will never leave
