We Lyrics
You've come so far weary child
We can feel the ache in your bones
You've been dragging so long
They never spoke your tongue
We will shelter you
There will be no more ridicule
We will love you always
It can be this way if you come home
You were in a spin front to back
You would wonder if you were wrong
You felt lost in space
But everything is as it should
We knew this all along
We promise you
We will shelter you
There will be no more ridicule
We will love you always
It can be this way if you come home
We can feel the ache in your bones
You've been dragging so long
They never spoke your tongue
There will be no more ridicule
We will love you always
It can be this way if you come home
You would wonder if you were wrong
You felt lost in space
But everything is as it should
We promise you
There will be no more ridicule
We will love you always
It can be this way if you come home

This is an incredible song. I first heard it on an episode of CSI, and after searching tirelessly for it, i finally found out what it was. To me, the song is talking about someone who just feels like they've been trying so hard for so long at life, and just can't seem to get it right, and then finds someone (or something) that accepts them. The underlying lesson is to have faith that we are all here for something ("Everything is as it should")
@big99daddy I agree it is a fantastic song, and it’s fantastic written lyrically also.

To me, this is a love song to a child with autism.
You've come so far weary child - you've had to struggle to learn what you know how
We can feel the ache in your bones - we understand how hard it has been for you
You've been dragging so long - and we know how long this journey has been
They never spoke your tongue - other people have misunderstood you
We will shelter you - you are safe with us
There will be no more ridicule - no more abuse from people who don't understand
We will love you always - nothing you say or do will push us away
It can be this way if you come home - not literally coming home... opening up to people and learning to communicate
You were in a spin front to back You would wonder if you were wrong You felt lost in space But everything is as it should - this all feels like reassurance that it's ok to be who you are
This song is just beautiful.
@mashers it is incredibly balanced and just I want to say divine. Anyhow, I think you’re the warmest in the hot and cold game here, however, you still filtering it through an individual who believes in who they are as someone. What he’s getting that is further and further, we choose to believe in our individuality, the further and further away from feeling accepted, loved, adequate relaxed, unconditionally infallible. And that’s just the associated negatives that wind up dissolving away along with the idea that I am someone you’re someone. Soo there are two someones present. Drop that...

And that’s just the associated negatives that wind up dissolving away along with the idea that I am someone you’re someone. Soo there are two someones present. Drop that in the ocean of other someone’s and things start seeming really dicey real quick. And it’s fine however it plays out whether we are at peace or not this experience was designed with all allowances permitted. While simultaneously also never handing anyone or anything any proof that any of it is real everything is just subjective.to who saw what or who’s left to tell the tale or says things could be compulsive lying about it all even the idea that there is anyone inside any of us. Who assumes the role of gatekeeper to everything it thinks it’s ever doing at any given time we like to think we have control because it seems like when we want to do something we get up and do it and we get up and do it because we wanted to. But I know I’ve done things my entire life looking back I can’t even begin to explain we get caught up in whims and emotions that we never entertain the idea that what has us somewhere in our feels when we get there. We need to remember that we are incapable of understanding any of this. A key part of why the individual will never know what it is to experience. What feels like what we like to refer to as satiated happiness. Two have so many appearing stimuli, but knowing that we can’t make heads or tails of any of it, because everyone we become in contact with, is just like us born into this lens that catches blurry, silhouettes shadows, casting of the dream, but never knows objectivity to any of it, when what all that is seen or felt by life as we know it. Is something Differently than other life form. So, as you begin to come to terms with this lack of validation in everything. It became clear to me that I have been mistakenly assumed There was a uniquely mine me Inside this body, that all of this was actually happening to that had carved me through the years into who I am today. So when we take this experience for.undisputed truth. That are senses are relaying everything perfectly intact to how we perceive them. Just that thought is enough were there to start singing like I mean we come in contact with becomes more and more validation subconscious that this is happening to me, but it’s a trick of light and sound which is fine believe how you want. Here it is made for just that. But I find it much less of a burden to not have to feel like I have to do something about everything or anything we don’t there’s nothing to do especially by the likes of any of us that needs done. There’s no one here that could do anything about what they think needs done And that works great for me😂. Funny cause when I did think that way, I never felt like I was enough and that the press is off and I realize how much I’ve always been but to be everything already should be enough to realize what could you do about what you already are just thoughts Thinking in a linear timeline fashion that the totality of me today Comes from a long history of unique journey experience only i lived. Again, it’s just a thought that most of us have without realizing how flimsy or tough can be rooted. When you don’t see them as just a way of thinking it all becomes too much we say things like how could this happen to me? Why is this happening? What did I do to deserve this? I won’t take it I’ll show the world who and they’ll be sorry they’ll see, which is fine if you’d rather feel those ways. For our infinity knows has always known all there is. We are one. The you you fansy yourself as is only able to feel alone different. When you think of expression in lyrics, it’s always I’m a Fagot I am broken. I’m on the outside and I’m lookin in. You wouldn’t be looking in if you were on the inside, there would be nowhere else for you to be to look into. Once you grasp the concept it’s just everywhere it’s undeniable you’ll see it in everything. You thought you knew it’s so clear so much tells us repeats it to us. We listen to it every day and miss the meaning of the message
But without the meaning what other use for the message Why they say don’t shoot the messenger it’s role is arbitrary it’s empty of the burdens of weighing in for any side It’s why war seems to happen. Or murders or all what’s called “great injustices” it’s all fine. Let life live on soullly sustained on the taking and consuming of other weaker life. It’s fine. No one is down here for all this to be happening to So great. Strap in its never gets any better than this never worse than this. We can however assume it can. No need to feel lost in space in a spin. We could never exist outside ourself to have the required perspective to allow uncertainty to its nature. Of knowing only of needing to know more to know enough to become certain.but wait whats this? “to then Become” shit. Sounds allot like seeking no? Why would Nothing need to become what nothing already is. Nope. Uncertainty will always seek and never find what it thinks it’s after. Certainties depth is such that cannot comprehend what it is to seek even it already knows
Maybe it says something about my paranoid, untrusting personality, but to me this song sounds like a cult trying to lure a fragile and vulnerable person into their "family". The hypnotic nature of the music itself makes me think of brainwashing. "You're weak and weary. We will take care of you and love you if you join us. Never mind the plan to eat apple sauce with a dangerous combo of drugs to catch that comet we are going to take a ride on" lol
@Cdevaney I know what you’re saying. I sort of got that feeling just the first time Read through with the song, but I think I know why I got that feeling after further review it’s just the way the verses end with the freezing you can be this way too if you just come to us or it sounds like if you just come home. But I had had an understanding for what all was said. I just heard a piece or two definitely had me thinking maybe this laying out of the hard road and easy road for another....

If you do it well enough, it doesn’t really leave them to be making the choice you make it for them if you convince them but I digress, it’s definitely not what I see it as nor what I feel like it was intended to be taken But. I’m glad you shared your Take Thank you 🙏
It sounds like aliens are the ones accepting him, maybe I just think that because of the mysterious vibe I get from hearing this song. I love this song.
I think this song is about a child who grew up with a bad family life and no parents. He/she has had to go through life without parents and there fore feels lost, angry, and confused. They have trust issues because of this and now some one (foster/adoptive parents) is extending their hand to help give the child the love and guidance it needs. Children aren't supposed to grow up without parents but now that the "we" mentioned in the song has come into the child's life that child no longer has to go through life alone....

Sounds like parents of a runnaway teen. The parents ridiculed him before and they are sorry.
