Exodus

Sittin round the fire on the coldest nights, mother often cries

Fingers in the dirt, heart below the earth, lines around her eyes

My grandfather lost his farm half century ago

Since the day that I was born, the only thing I've known is this

Our feet fall heavy in the dust

Hear the sound of exodus

All along the raw and wavering road

Shedding tears for our home

I know that I'm not the only child living in a lie

Mother always says only monsters live on the other side

But your eyes are amber color, just like mine

And your hands are soft as butter

You are not a crime to love

Our feet fall heavy in the dust

We're the sound of exodus

All along the raw and wavering road

Shedding tears for our homes

Oh my love

They will try to keep us from each other

Like the land is separated from itself

But I know one day we'll mend it

They will try to keep us from each other

Like they try to stem the river's flow

But we will always be within each other's arms

At night, when we are in the dark

And dreams come about our fathers' lands

I will only hold your hand

All the love of man or woman

One day they'll understand
