Birthright(feat. Jon Foreman) - Sleeping At Last

She was raised by wolves

 

In the warmth of their fur

 

Surrounded by fangs

She knew that she was secure

 

Language barriers

Made no difference at all

When you're truly cared for

There's no purpose for walls

 

His fences stood tall

 

As the shoulders of old

But he dreamt that one day

Maybe he'd break the mold

But time shyly stands still

 

When you watch it unfold

 

From these ivory towers

 

Freedom is only a ghost

 

Right or wrong

 

Tension makes us stronger

By making us weak

 

When we needed to be

 

Privilege and pain

 

When compared look the same

 

Comprehension begins

 

When we pull back the lens

They made her their queen

 

On the day she was born

 

They placed on her a crown

 

She wasn't ready for

 

But all impossible odds

Foreshadow our means

Like paving a road

 

To kingdoms we've never seen

 

He woke up one day

 

Written out of the will

 

They swore he'd be okay

With lesser shoes to fill

 

What doesn't kill us

Makes us stronger they say

 

Our only birthright in this life

 

Is the breath that we take

 

Right or wrong

 

Tension makes us stronger

 

By making us weak

 

When we needed to be

 

Privilege and pain

When compared look the same

 

Comprehension begins

 

When we pull back the lens

 

 

Our fables tell our truths
