Lyrics:
Love is an action
A place to sleep
Love is to rise up
Standing with me
Love is together
Righting the wrong
Knowing there’s a place
You always belong
We belong we belong we belong
We belong we belong together
Out of the mud
The lotus blooms
Hearts wide open
With the truth
Seeking justice
Seeking peace
Linking arms
We’re gonna get free
Chorus
Break the lie of loneliness
Break it with love
There’s a place for you
There’s a place for us
A place for you
Here in my heart
Come right home
To the truth of my arms
To the truth of my arms
Chorus
We are not broken
We are not too much
We are powerful
We are enough
We are enough
Chorus
(Bridge)
Together we can, together we will
Together we stand, together we build
A whole new world, it’s time to get real
There’s something inside I know we all feel
The power of love they try to conceal
So don’t hide it in a bush; time to put it on a hill
Cause hand in hand’s the way that we heal
And hand in hand I know that we will
Cause they can never tear us apart
When we’re living from the love that is in our heart
Say they can never tear us apart
When we’re living from the love that is in our heart
So fill our hearts with holy fire
Unite us with our sole desire
Cause we are of our family
Time together in unity
Cause we belong we belong we belong
We belong we belong together
