Orphans, Kingdoms Lyrics by Brooke Fraser

Flags

2010

[Verse 1]
In me, in you, orphans, kingdoms
Wide eyes and paper crowns
Time will hold us, time it wrote us
But we're inkling children now
[Chorus]
We are wandering where the wild wind blows
We are happy here, course the wild wind knows
What we are, orphans, kingdoms
Orphans, kingdoms
[Verse 2]
In me, in you, fiends, explorers
Babes with coats of arms
A world inside us, a feast, a harvest
Each soul a sun, a star
[Chorus]
We are wandering where the wild wind blows
We are happy here, course the wild wind knows
What we are, orphans, kingdoms
Orphans, kingdoms
[Bridge]
Eat and drink, for tomorrow we die
We will look our maker in the eye
Raise a flagon and drink to your health
Who is he that can conquer himself?
[Chorus]
We are wandering where the wild wind blows
We are happy here, course the wild wind knows
What we are, orphans, kingdoms
Orphans, kingdoms
