One of the Chosen - New Model Army

It was I that was lost and they that were searching

It was I that was weak and they had the power

So I went with the others to the bus that was waiting

And 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

All wired with hunger and energy crackling

And through the corridors I could hear chanting'

The hall was lit with candles and all the light was golden

And I felt something bursting, something down inside me

Singing out aloud about God and Love and Healing

And everything was moving and 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

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 come to know it

And they hated the world with just the same vengeance

And I wanted reasons and they gave me reasons

And I wanted purpose, and they gave me purpose

And here from the inside all the lights are blazing

And the view of the old world is dull and grey and joyless

Let it burn inside me, let it burn inside me

Let it burn inside me, let it burn inside me

Now we are the Holy Fools, we are the fearless

We are the Holy Fools we are the fearless

And I am part of something I am one of the Chosen

I am part of something I am one of the Chosen
