The Sanctuary Lyrics

We are now rooted in the ground
That we were born into
And this is where we come from
Where we will remain
This place may have its flaws
But I can always call the pavement
We now stand upon "my home"

This is our home

Through the areas of wealth and poverty
I appreciate every inch of our city
And I don't know if I could ever leave
Our sanctuary
Our stomping ground
Our territory
Our fucking home
Love where you come from
This is your home
This is my home

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
