lyrics

Caught up in the words, “there’s nothing here for you”, I felt so alone, my courage was gone.
Seed sewn on the rocks with no hope of catching - taken by the wind, devoured by sand.

I’ve walked with the folks, all given up on you - looking for love, looking for a way.
Blind leading the blind, I could not be free - my world was overwhelming.

That’s where you come in sisters and brothers, Mother/ Father God, my family.
That’s where you come in brothers and sisters. You give me hope, you give me light.
That’s where you come in.

Caught up in the words, “there’s nothing here for you!” I felt so alone. My courage was gone.
Seed sewn on the rocks with no hope of catching, taken by the wind, devoured by sand.
(I’ve been caught up in the words. I felt so alone, my courage was gone.
Here on the rocks thirsty for your love. I’ve been taken by wind, cast to the sand.)

I’ve walked with the ghosts, given up on you, looking for love, looking for a way.
blind leading the blind I could not be free, my world was overwhelming.
(Walked with the folks, given up on you now. Looking for love, looking for way. Blind leading the blind… my world was overwhelming.)

That’s where you come in sisters and brothers, Mother/ Father God, my family.
That’s where you come in brothers and sisters. You give me hope, you give me light.
That’s where you come in.

That’s where you come into my life, oh God.
I’m not alone and I never was. I find my safety in your love.
Though dark clouds may come, I know you are there - my family.
