How do I know I belong?

We'll find love for every creed and colour

If we lean on one another

If we lean on one another

You and me do better when we run together

Then I come to the river and fears start to fade

My brothers and sisters, we journey the same

And I know, (you and I, we're), I know

If we just look to each other

Then this house will feel like home

And the more we're together, the further we'll go

You and I, we're not alone, not alone

Just one ripple in a river

Can be the one to turn the tide

When the water rises

I'll be right by your side

if we just look to each other

Then i come to the river and fears start to fade

And the more we're together, the further we'll go

Relight our fire, we'll find our way

We are fire, through the night

And from the flames we will soar forever

See this island

Hear this anthem

We did it before, and we'll do it again

Wherever i m feeling low

There is a place that will stay within me

For this is where i know it's home

Then this house will feel like home
