We Belong from Fly by Bear Roots (Lolly Dunlap and Amy Durso)

This is mercy unfurling
Like an anthem in my heart
An anthem in my heart

This is the stirring, the yearning, returning
Like an anthem in my heart
An anthem in my heart

And when I die craft these bones into instruments
Like flutes, and drums and resonant incense
And like my body sings the songs of my spirit
So does the mountain draw the clouds near it
And spread my ashes with the feathers of the birds
that sing praise in every song
We belong, we belong,
We belong, we belong, we belong

This is the calling, the longing
Like an anthem in my heart
An anthem in my heart

This is the knowing, rivers flowing
Like an anthem in my heart
An anthem in my heart

And when I die craft these bones into instruments
Like flutes, and drums and resonant incense
And like my body sings the songs of my spirit
So does the mountain draw the clouds near it
And spread my ashes with the feathers of the birds
that sing praise in every song
We belong, we belong, we belong
We belong, we belong,

We belong, we belong, we belong - to life after all
We belong, we belong, we belong - to life after all

And spread my ashes with the feathers of the birds
that sing praise in every song
We belong, we belong, we belong, we belong, we belong
