[Verse 1]
A
This is the soup that I believe in
A
This is the smoke I'm always breathing
A
This is the way I share my breakfast
A
This is the way I serve my sentence
[Chorus]

I know, I know

I should lay low

I should stand tall

[Verse 2]
A
This is the beard I'm always growin
A
I know they're here, I see them floating
A
Her empress beads, they float so holy
A
Their beards are here, they gently hold me
[Chorus]
A
Well who knows, who knows
D
Yeah I may come home
A
Yeah I may return
[Verse 3]
A
This is the way I'm always leaving
A
This is the soft voice of the evening
A
This is the way I hear my father
A
These are the flames that drown the water
[Chorus]
A
Well I knew, I knew
D
I could stand tall
A
I could lay low
[Verse 4]
A
This is the sound that swims inside me
A
That circle sound is what surrounds me
A
This is the land that grows around me
A
And these are the hands that come in handy
[Chorus]
A
Well we've known, we've known
D
We have a choice
A
We chose rejoice
