We were lost to the wind Now we belong to the wreckage As the twilight thinned A film formed on our eyes, Lord A film formed on our eyes Climbed the steps in the wood On that volcanic mountain Never stopped like we should To breathe the dying sky, Lord To breathe the dying skies Then we raced at the top Past erosion and marble 'Til we finally stopped But the night had passed us by, Lord The night had passed us by I seen the wheel turn I seen it turn in you I felt its steel burn And I know you can feel it burn, too As the morning bent Our words lost their meaning And I realized what it meant To feel the Earth in spin, Lord To feel the Earth in spin Few words were spoke Mostly we sat in silence Now those words, they're smoke And they belong to the roots and the wind, babe Belong to the roots and wind I seen the wheel turn I seen it turn in you I felt its steel burn And I know you can feel it burn, too Come from hills and bogs Before man was a monarch We had the eyes of God And the world was one bright beam, Lord The world was one bright beam Not a thing has changed Except our patience and vision That's why we're here today To let the light seep in, Lord To let the light seep in
