|
It's simple and eternal |
|
The sum of where we're made |
|
Across the land we circle |
|
Inside is where we're raised |
|
As nations keep on marching |
|
As borders break and fall |
|
The guardian eye is watching |
|
The hawk who sees it all |
|
I know you're aching to move on |
|
It doesn't matter where you are when you belong |
|
Something close to love |
|
But more mysterious |
|
I'll hold you in the shadow of my arms |
|
Always close to love |
|
But more victorious |
|
Can you feel this empire being born |
|
The pull of where you're from is far too strong |
|
It's honest and it's brutal |
|
There's beauty in its strength |
|
It's never less than truthful |
|
It's born from innocence |
|
Break through the web that I have spun |
|
It doesn't matter where you are when I am gone |
|
Something close to love |
|
But more mysterious |
|
I'll hold you in the shadow of my arms |
|
Always close to love |
|
But more victorious |
|
Can you feel this empire being born |
|
The pull of where you're from is far too strong |
|
Always close to |
|
Always close to |
|
Always close to |
|
Always always |
|
Something close to love |
|
But more mysterious |
|
I'll hold you in the shadow of my arms |
|
Always close to love |
|
But more victorious |
|
Can you feel this empire being born |
|
The pull of where you're from is far too strong |
