N.C
It was I that was lost,
They that were searching,
It was I that was weak,
They had the power
So I went with the others
To the bus that was waiting,
We drove out for miles
To a place in the country,
                   
We were ten to a room,
                  
The windows don’t open,
                    
We were woken for prayer
               
At four in the morning,
                      
We were wired with hunger,
                                           
With energy crackling through the corridors,
             
I could hear chanting.

The hall was lit with candles,
    
And all the light was golden,
  
I felt something bursting,

Something down inside me,
        
We were singing out aloud 
      
About God and love and healing,

Everything was moving
I’m on the floor kneeling,

    
I am part of something,          }

I am one of the chosen,          }

  
        One of the chosen
  
        One of the chosen

N.
There is something in us all
That wants to surrender,
To be guided through it all
Like star eyed children,
      
And I hated the world
                 
As I’ve come to know it,
        
And they hate the world
                   
With just the same vengeance,
      
And I, I wanted reasons
                       
And they, they gave me reasons,
      
And I, I wanted purpose
                       
And they, they gave me purpose,
    
And here on the inside
                   
All the lights are blazing,
    
The view of the old world,
                     
Is dull and grey and joyless,
                                   
Let it burn in side me, let it burn inside me,
                                   
Let it burn in side me, let it burn inside me,
         
We’re the holy fools,
We are the fearless,
         
We’re the holy fools,
We are the fearless.

  
        We are the fearless
  
        We are the fearless
    
I am part of something,
    
I am one of the chosen,
    
I am part of something,
I am one of the chosen,
    
I am part of something,
    
I am one of the chosen,
    
I am part of something,
I am one of the chosen,
     
I am part of something,
I am one of the chosen,
     
I am part of something,
I am one of the chosen,

 Part  of something,

  One of the chosen,
    
I am part of something,
I am one of the chosen
    
I am part of something,
                     
I am one of the chosen.
