It was I that was lost,
They that were searching,
It was I that was weak,
They had the power
So I went with the others
To the bus that was waiting,
We drove out for miles
To a place in the country,
G
We were ten to a room,
F
The windows don’t open,
G
We were woken for prayer
F
At four in the morning,
G
We were wired with hunger,
F G
With energy crackling through the corridors,
F
I could hear chanting.

The hall was lit with candles,

And all the light was golden,

I felt something bursting,
Something down inside me,

We were singing out aloud

About God and love and healing,

Everything was moving
I’m on the floor kneeling,

There is something in us all
That wants to surrender,
To be guided through it all
Like star eyed children,
G
And I hated the world
G#
As I’ve come to know it,
G
And they hate the world
G#
With just the same vengeance,
G
And I, I wanted reasons
F
And they, they gave me reasons,
G
And I, I wanted purpose
F
And they, they gave me purpose,
G
And here on the inside
F
All the lights are blazing,
G
The view of the old world,
F
Is dull and grey and joyless,
G F
Let it burn in side me, let it burn inside me,
G F
Let it burn in side me, let it burn inside me,

We are the fearless,
