Old Souls

Verse 1

Mud walls and morning drum

Grandmother humming by the fire

Sun climbing over the acacia

Waking every family tree

Fathers lifting children high

Mothers mending all our dreams

Every rising and every sinking sky

Carved us into what we'll be

Pre-Chorus

Can't wash away the footprints

Can't bury the names we know

Time keeps turning circles

But these roots refuse to go

Chorus

We are the old souls

Singing loud across the land

We are the old souls

Happy where we stand

Rivers running plenty

Cleansing every hand

We are the old souls

Forever and forever stand

Drop

Oh-oh oh-oh old soul

Oh-oh oh-oh old soul

Verse 2

Children gathering close at dusk

Eyes wide as the talking starts

Myths and legends woven fresh

Sparkling in the little hearts

Wild herds across the plains

Graceful as the clouds above

Every body bathed and whole

We're the people that we love

Pre-Chorus

Can't wash away the footprints

Can't bury the names we know

Time keeps turning circles

But these roots refuse to go

Chorus

We are the old souls

Singing loud across the land

We are the old souls

Happy where we stand

Rivers running plenty

Cleansing every hand

We are the old souls

Forever and forever stand

Drop

Oh-oh oh-oh old soul

Oh-oh oh-oh old soul

Bridge

Past that can't be erased

Proud as any sun that burns

Future we refuse to chase

We already know our turn

We already know our turn

Chorus

We are the old souls

Singing loud across the land

We are the old souls

Happy where we stand

Rivers running plenty

Cleansing every hand

We are the old souls

Forever and forever stand

Drop

Oh-oh oh-oh old soul

Oh-oh oh-oh old soul
