Lyrics

Flower in the desert

Spring into a fall

Rushing to the West side

When the east sent out the call

Lessons in the matter

Of staying on your feet

You can fall under the weight of it

And it brings you to your knees

But I am never giving in

I am, I am, I am, I am

Holding on for a feeling

I don’t need no one to hold my place

You can’t take my thoughts

They’re not your thoughts to take away

I don’t need no one to tease my faith

I don’t need no one to celebrate

'Cause all my friends, all my friends are here

All my friends, all my friends are here

All my friends, all my friends are here

Hey, all my friends, all my friends are here

Singing it out

Devil in the blue sky

Angel in the deep

Writing out your best lines

And forgetting how to read it

Counting in the wrong time

Starting on the three

There's a rhythm to the way life goes

It can knock you out of key

But I am starting to believe

I am, I am, I am, I am

Holding on for the real thing

I don't need no one to hold my place

You can't take my thoughts

They're not your thoughts to take away

I don't need no one to tease my faith

I don't need no one to celebrate

'Cause all my friends, all my friends are here

All my friends, all my friends are here

All my friends, all my friends are here

Hey, all my friends, all my friends are here

So singing it out

So singing it out

Singing it out

All my friends, all my friends are here

All my friends, all my friends are here

All my friends, all my friends are here

All my friends, all my friends are here

Singing it out

All my friends, all my friends are here

All my friends, all my friends are here

All my friends, all my friends are here

All my friends, all my friends are here
