The locusts are singing, the sun is red

It's gotten so late somehow

There's gonna be trouble, you know what they said

We should have been home by now



The thunder is rolling, the sky is black

It's gotten so dark somehow

There's gonna be danger, God I wish we were back

We should have been home by now



No matter what they tell us, no matter what they do

No matter what they teach us, what we believe is true

No matter what they call us, however they attack

No matter where they take us, we'll find our own way back



I can't deny what I believe, I can't be what I'm not

I know I'll love forever

I know, no matter what



If only tears were laughter, if only night was day

If only prayers were answered then we would hear God say:

"No matter what they tell you, no matter what they do

No matter what they teach you, what you believe is true"



And I will keep you safe and strong and sheltered from the storm

No matter where it's barren, a dream is being born

No matter who they follow, no matter where they lead

No matter how they judge us, I'll be everyone you need



No matter if the sun don't shine or if the skies are blue

No matter what the ending, my life began with you

I can't deny what I believe, I can't be what I'm not

I know this love's forever, I know no matter what



The thunder is rolling, the sky is black

It's gotten so dark somehow

There's gonna be danger, God I wish we were back

We should have been home by now
