Belong Lyrics

Belong lyrics

Words and music by Shawn Mullins

 

 I've got a suitcase packed full of memories

 and evening's drawing near

 The mountain smiles upon me now

 it's all down hill from here

 an Anchorage of silence, a port of serenity

 I had to bow and kneel before I ever

 knew the real me But I understand for

 the first time why I call you my home

 like a free man running from himself

 I had nowhere left to roam

 There upon your mountains wading in your streams

 like a distant star the city's far behind me

 (Chorus)

 and I ask you now will you take me in

 because I never knew what I had till it was gone

 I have to sing my song there's no letting go

 Just can't stop the show This is where I belong

 

 Now it's 0500 on a Monday morn

 under a starry sky with old Iron Mike looking

 over me and the sleep still in my eyes

 So wrap yourself around me now and hold me

 till the sun rises and another day's begun
