i seek to name the places i belong
not for my presence but for the game
i can't turn all my life into a song
to move once is not to move along
we want to see what never is the same
i seek to name the places i belong
saying right is wright and wrong's wrong
the naming is inherent in the name
i can't turn all my life into a song
each of us is along in midst of throng
there's no one here but us left now to blame
i seek to name the places i belong
each moment here we will seek to prolong
too soon each knows will gutter out the flame
i can't turn all my life into a song
i come to separate the weak from strong
to separate the wild one from the tame
i seek to name the places i belong
i can't turn all my life into a song
(C)2007, Fragano Ledgister
