Leaving California in the sunset afternoon
Searching every highway for a girl i used to know
My beating hearts been bleeding just trying to recall
What it was I was leaving and how I got here at all
I've learned a lot about myself
Inside the last few years
And found some super powers there
In all the hidden fears
And the trouble with commitments is the end of your plans
They'll chase you down and find you and always know you ran

Well I am a child of the mother of exiles
I am not afraid of the lightning in her hand
She's a mighty woman
A breaker of chains
Mother hold me in your arms again
Mother hold me in your arms again
Mother of exiles

I've been spending so much time these days
Wondering what it means
To show up up to a party with an axe grinding disease
And I don't think the same about forgiveness anymore
You just do it every day until you lose track of the score

Well I am a child of the mother of exiles
I am not afraid of the lightning in her hand
She's a mighty woman
A breaker of chains
Mother hold me in your arms again
Mother hold me in your arms again
Mother of exiles

Remember how it was before the war
When brother vs brother wasn't what we're fighting for

When everybody's talking about what everybody said
It's like trying to understand a book nobody has even read
It's an echo so romantic that it's hard to tun away
So retire to the train tracks and we leave the memory

Well I am a child of the mother of exiles
She holds a beacon of lightning in her hand
She's a new colossus
A breaker of chains
Mother hold me in your arms again
Mother hold me in your arms again
Mother hold me in your arms again
Mother of exiles
Take me home
