Sinkane - We Belong (Lyric Video)

Lyrics

Let me tell you about me
My thoughts always keep me up
trails of books I thought would help rectify
only made me worse

I don’t wanna be alone
and I know that y’all feel me
when I settle for less than what I’m worth
I keep feeling lost

Let’s wake up
Take one breath
And listen for the sound
be in tune, follow your light
be yourself, free your mind
to err is human
to forgive divine

What a time to be alive!
consistently paranoid
Reaching for these false prophets
to numb the pain…
got me in trouble again

Yet I still keep mistakin’ work for love
been down for so long
I keep getting on
same old story
no need to worry

We’re all that we got to hold on
We’re all that we got so be strong
Prevailing till the break of dawn
Because we belong!
Yes, mamma we made it!
Because we belong!

We’re all that we got so hold on
We’re all that we got to be strong
Persist till the day’s first yawn
Because we belong!

'We Belong' is about the never-ending quest for finding community and refuge in our greatest resource: each other. A fuzzy, funky gospel ode to the infinity loop that we call “hard times”.
I wrote the lyrics after reading Alexander Pope’s poem “An Essay on Criticism.” Specifically after reading the line, “To err is human, to forgive divine.” How beautiful is that? “Errare Humane Est.” We are all flawed and that is ok. Just don’t be a dick about it, ok?
STOUT really flexes on this one. Lord have mercy! That woman can sing. She takes no prisoners.
