To all the friends that I claim to love
There is danger in a certain kind of isolation
Never forget that no man is an island
Always at risk of washing away from 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
And our distance will continue to 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 that 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

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

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
And we don’t know where he is if we don’t go where we’re led
There’s gotta be more depth than a kingdom built on sand
Else we’re no better off than when we were stranded
