Where I'm from Iluminated lanterns glow And never flicker when strong winds blow The scent of cedar, the taste citrus on my tongue The sound of silence I'll feel like home I can see it in the eyes of my son and the eyes of my daughter Where I'm from Where I'm from The lost and broken sing along In every language A sacred song I can hear in the voice of the mother And the cry of child Where I'm from Where I'm from Where I'm from Here I Later on in the holy war Find myself on the threshing floor Pray in somebody will stay with me While I remaid in between Look for lie and a breaking of day Somebody stay with me Where I'm from I've stood out side these gates before Trying to listen And hear a voice I can feel it in the middle of the rain In the warmth of a fire I can feel it when my heart starts to break I was born to desire Where I'm from Where I'm from Where I'm from Where I'm from
