LYRICS:
Welcome, friend
I’m so glad you came
It wouldn’t be the same without you here
Step inside
Sit down for a while
Drink in all the smiles and the tears
Help yourself
It’s all on the house
Pass your plate around and don’t be shy
Have your fill
There’s plenty here to share
Everything prepared with us in mind
Every night we wonder "Who..?"
How we hoped it would be you
Whatever you brought here tonight
We will feast and find the light
Draining every cup of joy and grief
Only God knows why we all
Stumbled in this dining hall
Searching for the food that we all need
Let us gather round the table
Come and eat
Maybe you’ve brought home a baby girl
Or maybe your whole world is spinning wrong
All these threads
Wove in space and time
Underneath the lights they sing a song
Every night we wonder who
Could it be anyone but you?
Whatever you brought here tonight
We will feast and find the light
Draining every cup of joy and grief
Only God knows why we all
Stumbled in this dining hall
Searching for the food that we all need
Let us gather round the table
Come and eat
Welcome, friend
For now, we share a name
A family of strangers, one and all
Gathered here
Neighbors for a night
Let us fight a different fight beyond these walls
This our meal
It is an act of war
We’ll settle the score and raise a toast
Dark and death
They’ve had their part to play
They will make way for another host
Whatever you brought here tonight
We will feast and find the light
Draining every cup of joy and grief
Only God knows why we all
Stumbled in this dining hall
Searching for the food that we all need
Let us gather round the table
Come and eat

Words & twining melodies that leave behind an age of homesickness. Thank you. ❤

[@brotherbear6628]

Still waiting for them to make a song that isn’t an absolute masterpiece. They do not disappoint! Love these guys!!🙏🏾❤️

[@jfat4]

This song evokes emotions in me that I don't fully understand, but makes me feel loved. I can't explain it, but it makes my heart feel at rest. Thanks for sharing this with the world.

[@leroyjd9816]

These guys are so insanely good.... Not only is every song amazing to listen to but also so unique

[@GillianSouthwell-l6j]

I have gotten the opportunity to meet them twice this year! Their music is marvelous, but the musicians are better. Lincoln is one of the most genuine people i have ever met. Bailey is very kind and sweet. Isaac is super relatable. Eli is extremely nice. The Arcadian wild will never disappoint me! ❤

[@brando4697]

A masterclass in humanity, vocality, musicianship, and emotional connection. Love to all of you for bringing your gifts to share with us.

[@book_nerd_05]

This song makes me cry practically every time I listen to it. Y’all are amazing. Thank you ❤

[@GlennRiccobono]

[@dmott63]

Another great song ❤❤❤❤

[@ezsparky]

Great song!

[@SteelFalcon77]

Thank you for fanning some life into the flame of hope in my heart! I staggered down the stairs at 4:30 am with my head ringing from a nightmare, sat down and pulled up KZbin to see this appear on my feed. First time I've heard it, and I could not have imagined a more wonderful thing to help banish the dark thoughts that lingered in the shadowy corners of my waking mind. It is my hope that this reignited recognition of beauty and love will stick with me forever, but I know that if nothing else it will warm me for a while. Thank you for this shining moment of peace.

[@maureenotremba6233]

Be sure to check out their song "Benediction." It will comfort you. God bless you and whatever you're going through.

[@rachelotremba8100]

@@SteelFalcon77 I hope you're doing better soon!

[@twin_m]

[@fiyerodurias1027]

I'm not crying, you are. I miss them, please come back to Portland!

[@clxxiii]

Saw you guys in Indianapolis earlier this year and had the pleasure of hearing this song before it came out on spotify. That show was truly unforgettable, can't wait to see you again! ♥

[@juliachan8421]

Literally just found out about your music but just wanted to say that your music is very calming to me and I hope you keep making music to help people :)

[@jonahkattau1128]

Goose bumps

[@aliyakrebs8754]

[@raoulio351996]

This song and video feel like a warm hug ❤

[@ryanarroyo4979]

I'll have this tune ringing in my head as I look out over the gathering of friends and family at my wedding this year 😊 Thank you for making music that inspires hope and love when we need it most.

[@BombedNevada]

Come back to Salt Lake! Best concert of the year.

[@firebirdsandembers]

I cannot listen to this song without getting chills!! So beautiful and well-written

[@rachelotremba8100]

I've been waiting for the lyrics to this song to be somewhere! Thank you!!

[@frii2503]

So beautiful!!

[@joshualoiacono5488]

This is beautiful, love you guys. Also fantastic video!

[@xXxRaZ0rGamingxXx]

This is such a great song, I wish I could have seen it live! Keep up the good work guys, you’re crushing it!! Hope to see you guys in the UK at some point.

[@casthegreater7376]

That hug at 3:32 was a paid actor holy cow

[@lizvisscher]

I went to the show in Ann Arbor and it was such a good concert!! (even made it into some of this video :))

[@mc_piethon7653]

Was this filmed at the bluebird?? I was there and it was just so good

[@isaiahdavis9486]

Was blessed to see you guys in concert a few weeks ago. I was able to get my album signed by Bodhi, and I’m hoping to get it signed by the rest of y’all later. Keep making great music!

[@KaiZL07]

If I had a dollar for every time I wished I get to hear you all in a tour or a concert, I'd be richer than Elon Musk. You guys make the best music in my heart ❤

[@lslewis]

There's a dining hall party scene full of amber lights in the apocalyptic game The Last Of Us 2 that this song would work so well in~

[@samuelritchie5124]

Will you guys be coming to Europe any time?

[@JairusJoy]

Guys i swear when i get married, Im booking you guys 😫😫😫😫

[@drumpetbass]

I'm going to be the cool one that makes this my home group/life group/small group's theme song before everyone else copies me and does the same 🙂

[@KINGLONEWOLFmusic]

I want to make sweet pumpkin spice love to all of you 🍁😻🤍

[@user-yw8lj6io6l]

Fake news! They want you to believe they’re playing music the entire time, but you can clearly see that in most of the shots, they’re not actually touching their instruments. Or even holding them. Scandal!

[@KidsCabaltica]

I am a witness! i have been to a concert and have seen them perform this piece it really is amazing, you should go sometime.
