Deus Ibi Est
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Against my will to these sad shores
An unknown force has drawn me
Bound unto a future shaped by ancestors before me
Day on day I march the beat to someone else's drum
I have searched far foreign lands there's nowhere left to run
Impending storm rise up rise up
Oh demons I shall shame you!
Look down the barrel of my gun and one by one I'll name you
Day on day my brothers leave go marching off to war
Yet we never understand for what we're fighting for
Ubi caritas et amor
Ubi caritas
Deus ibi est*
Worldly desires and worldly gains
Designed for worldly men
I'm a master of the heart with ears and hands to lend
Soldiers come and soldiers go some changed by love for thee
A circle in the chain of life all fighting to be free
Ubi caritas et amor
Ubi caritas
Deus ibi est
So come my lord and we shall dance
To God's own private drum
Sweet Jesus and the holy vine
The afterlife to come
Day on day I march the beat to someone else's drum
I have searched far foreign lands there's nowhere left to run
Ubi caritas et amor
Ubi caritas
Deus ibi est
*Onde há caridade e amor
Onde há caridade
Deus está presente
