Lyrics

Branded

[Verse 1]

No living savior to follow home

Wandering hopeless into the unknown

[Pre-Chorus]

Is there hope, to hope like them?

Save me from the hell I'm in

[Chorus]

We can't abandon those who've been branded

It's hard to believe we don't belong

Here we are standing together, demanding

Singing for those who don't belong

[Verse 2]

So here we are off in the unknown

Aimless, but tired of being alone

[Pre-Chorus]

Is there hope, to hope like them?

Save me from the hell I'm in

[Chorus]

We can't abandon those who've been branded

It's hard to believe we don't belong

Here we are standing together, demanding

Singing for those who don't belong

[Bridge]

Lost and found, I had no home

Found myself when I gave up hope

So don't forget your darkest hours

Light the way to a life empowered

Don't forget your darkest hours

Light the way, light the way

[Interlude]

We can't abandon those who've been branded

It's hard to believe we don't belong

[Chorus]

We can't abandon those who've been branded

It's hard to believe we don't belong

Here we are standing together, demanding

Singing for those who don't belong

[Outro]

Don't belong
