Kerry Livgren - Exiles lyrics

Distant home, across the earth we roam Leaving all that we possess behind us Known by name, we make no earthly claim Waiting for the one we seek to find us Exiles of another kind, with our maker intertwine Vessels on a sea of love Aliens to mother earth, waiting for the second birth Vessels on a sea of love Out of bounds, no boundary surrounds No one's worldly object of desire Nations fade, but this foundations' laid Shaped in the divine refiner's fire Exiles of another kind, with our maker intertwine Vessels on a sea of love Aliens to mother earth, waiting for the second birth Vessels on a sea of love Eyes are fixed on the goal ahead So alive but to the world we're dead Inside out and upside down Each man stands on the rock he's found Twice removed from the human race We found our peace in a hiding place Strangers livin' in a foreign land Now we fall, but in the end we'll stand Exiles of the world No release for prisoners of peace Willing to be slaves of our own choosing Promising to serve no mortal king Gaining so much more than we are losing Exiles of another kind, with our maker intertwine Vessels on a sea of love Aliens to mother earth, waiting for the second birth Vessels on a sea of love
