about

Written by Matt Epp, Isaac Murdoch, and Shannon Paul

lyrics

You were chosen to be here
You were chosen to hear this
You were chosen to build
something that will last forever

And the sky is yellow
The Beggar has spoken
Holding both hands open
Did the Prophets’ words mean nothing?

Hey-yah, Hey-yah We live in a sacred time, together
Hey-yah, Hey-yah Writing the story of our lives, and
Hey-yah, Hey-yah It’s hard to believe, and it’s hard to feel it
You wouldn’t believe how much you’re needed
You were chosen to be here

There are millions working
No we’re not alone
There are beautiful children
who will have a future and a home

If you build a home
You do it one step at a time
May be a drop in the ocean, but
Just like water, people rise
