Lyrics

This is what life is like on the ground
I had a brother who was stationed up in northern hill county
No he never really came home
We drove out east to red river to see the, high water flow
That river was running, just searching for an ocean
The freedom he'd never known
That feeling you get when the wind is blowing
Like your whole life is starting over
We made our peace there
In the no mans land, where we come from
I've been searching for
The waves that carried us home
To the ocean we all came from
Where we won't be returned
I've been searching for
The waves that carried us home
To the ocean we all came from
Where we won't be dissolved, into one
Like a crippled anima, l running on broken legs that night
His voice was splintering, rising, falling to a fate of "I'll never get out"
From Spokane all the way across Montana, out to the blood reserve
Black Levis jacket, knocking them beers back on the bank of that river
Underneath September skies in south US border
He made his peace there
Just after his boots filled up with water
I've been searching for
The waves that carried us home
To the ocean we all came from where we won't be returned
I've been searching for
The waves that carried us home
To the ocean we all came from where we won't be dissolved
The waves will wash, away the misguided vision
Glory in a battlefield of a thousand corpses
I've been searching for
The waves that carried us home
To the ocean we all came from where we won't be dissolved
Out of many we, are one
