lyrics

Something goes down almost everyday

It gets better, then it happens again

But it felt good, felt perfectly safe

To be dancing in the arms of pain


Some days were heaven and some were hell

But I never told a single soul

I changed the locks, and I ran away

over and over again


Round we go, round round round we go

Searching Searching for home


Sisters I love you so

in the nightmares I scream out, no

Now in waking and in dreaming steps

I’ll do for us, what I could not for myself


There’s nothing wrong with falling prey

To hands that only take

Cause loving was never a sin

Breaking silence we’re free again



I know that freedom is a long haul

Brother and sisters along the way we’ll fall

but under tomorrow’s sun

we’ll be dancing til the break of dawn




Something goes down almost everyday

Distractions, they, lead us astray

But it feels good, feels perfectly safe

to be dancing and free again


Sometimes it’s hard to know what is right

to lose your job, your family, your home

cause there’s something else calling our names

when it all melts away


I know that freedom is a long haul

Brother and sisters along the way we’ll fall

but when Restorative Communities come

we’ll be dancing til the break of dawn



I know that freedom is a long haul

Brother and sisters along the way we’ll fall

but when nirvana and sainthood come

we’ll be dancing til the break of dawn
