Here in the High and Low

The sound of the drum, the pulse of your feet
The side of the mountain, the sand of the sea
All of the earth that gave you your strength
Formed you and bruised you and brought you to me

Here in my high and low
All that came before has to go
Here in my high and low
All that came before has to go

Guard what's gentle, not castles or kings
Their future ruins your planted seeds
Cover the earth with flowers and leaves
Children to wonder and hunger to feed

Here in my high and low
All that came before has to go
Here in my high and low
All that came before has to go

We're building our ship, we're making our plan
On rising water and sinking sand
So join in the song and join in the band
My only one, you don't have to be

A hero
Here in my high and low
Hero
Here in my high and low
