New Model Army — One of the Chosen lyrics

Lyrics

It was I that was lost, they that were searching
It was I that was weak, they had the power
So I went with the others to the bus that was waiting
We drove out for miles to a place in the country
We were ten to a room, the windows don’t open
We were woken for prayer at four in the morning
We were wired with hunger and energy crackling
Through the corridors I could hear chanting
The hall was lit with candles and all the light was golden
I felt something bursting, something down inside me Even singing out aloud about God and love and healing
And everything was moving, I’m on the floor kneeling
I am part of something, I am one of the chosen
I am part of something, I am one of the chosen
I am part of something, I am one of the chosen
I am part of something, I am one of the chosen
One of the chosen
One of the chosen
There is something in us all that wants to surrender
To be guided through it all like star-eyed children
And I hated the world as I’ve, I’ve come to know it And they hate the world with just the same vengeance
And I, I wanted reasons and they, they gave me reasons
And I, I wanted purpose and they, they gave me purpose
And here on the inside all the lights are blazing
The view of the old world is dull and gray and joyless
Let it burn inside me, let it burn inside me Let it burn inside me, let it burn inside me We are holy fools, we are the fearless
We are the holy fools, we are the fearless
We are the fearless
We are the fearless
Part of something, I am one of the chosen
I am part of something, I am one of the chosen
I am part of something, I am one of the chosen
I am part of something, I am one of the chosen
Part of something, one of the chosen
Part of something, I am one of the chosen
Part of something, one of the chosen
I am part of something, I am one of the chosen
I am part of something, I am one of the chosen
