Lyrics
Her world collapsed early sunday morning
She got up from the kitchen table
Folded the newspaper
And silenced the radio
Those creatures jumped the barricades
And have headed for the sea
Sea
Woah, oh oh, oh oh oh
Woah, oh oh, oh oh oh
Those creatures jumped the barricades and have headed for the sea
She began to breathe, to breathe
At the thought of this freedom
And stood and whispered to her child, "Belong"
She held the child and whispered with calm, calm, "Belong"
Woah, oh oh, oh oh oh
Woah, oh oh, oh oh oh
Woah, oh oh, oh oh oh
Woah, oh oh, oh oh oh
She stood and whispered to her child, "Belong"
She held the child and whispered with calm, calm, "Belong"
Woah, oh oh, oh oh oh
Woah, oh oh, oh oh oh
Woah, oh oh, oh oh oh
Woah, oh oh, oh oh oh
Those barricades can only hold for so long
Her world collapsed early Sunday morning
She took the child, held tight, opened the window
A breath, this song, how long, and knew, knew, "belong"
Woah, oh oh, oh oh oh
Woah, oh oh, oh oh oh
Woah, oh oh, oh oh oh
Woah, oh oh, oh oh oh
