Got a problem here
Now am I mistaken
Devil's gone to sleep
And the Lord is forsaken
Got a problem here
Just as heavy as stone
Look what we done baby on our own

Why do we sing this lonesome song
We been running for so long
When the light shines down you see
And all the breath in this body leaves
This ain't the last life I will lead
I'll be free
I'll be free
I'll be free

Hunger of anger and thirst for riches
Handful of angels a handful of witches
Surrounded by mouths and mud filled ditches
What are these shadows that my mind dismisses

Why do we sing this lonesome song
We been running for so long
When the light shines down you see
And all the breath in this body leaves
This ain't the last life I will lead
I'll be free

This is the story we all know by heart
This is the end this is the start
We want to move like the birds in flight
Not to wander on this road all night

Are we nothing but flesh and bone?
Doomed to wander and cursed to roam
No matter where I 'm headed I'm going home

Why do we sing this lonesome song
We been running for so long
When the light shines down you see
And all the breath in this body leaves
This ain't the last life I will lead
I'll be free
I'll be free
I'll be free
