Learned (Tamed Sessions)

To all the friends I claim to love There's danger in a certain kind of isolation Never forget that no man is an island Always at risk of washing away from The tidal waves of selfish ambition, conceit And a false sense of security It's impossible to shore up all the shore lines in your head Our distance will grow as you recede If I could learn true community Goes hand in hand With wisdom then I would know The meaning of belonging to A family To all the friends I claim to love Alone we do little but together so much The sinew of a thousand fibers connect us Like muscle and bone in a body of blessing Let's use our shoulders to lift other's burdens And mutual support in charity to encourage Outdo one another with a brotherly honor So we can lay our hands as we kneel at the altar If I could learn true community Goes hand in hand With wisdom then I would know The meaning of belonging to A family To all the friends that I claim to love Unity without truth is an empty promise A flickering light that will soon be extinguished For holding up love and hope with no meaning But we can't love him if we don't care what he says We don't know where he is if we don't go where we're led There's got to be more depth than a kingdom built on sand Else we're no better off than when we were stranded If I could learn true community Goes hand in hand With wisdom then I would know The meaning of belonging to A family We've got a sickness in our heads We can't do this on our own Think we deserve this loneliness But we are better together We are better together We are better together --- Learned (Tamed Sessions) - Dens
