We Belong
Pat Benatar
We belong
We belong to the light.
Many times I've tried to tell you
Many times I've cried alone.
Always I'm surprised how well you cut my feelings to the bone.
Don't wanna leave you really
I've invested too much time,
To give you up that easy to the doubts
That complicate your mind.
[Chorus]
We belong to the light
We belong to the thunder.
We belong to the sound of the words we've both fallen under.
Whatever we deny or embrace for worse or for better
We belong
We belong
We belong together.
Maybe it's a sign of weakness when I don't know what to say.
Maybe I just wouldn't know what to do with my strength anyway.
Have we become a habit?
Do we distort the facts.
Now there's no looking forward
Now there's no turning back
When you say:
[Chorus]
Close your eyes and try to sleep now
Close your eyes and try to dream.
Clear your mind and do your best to try
And wash the pallette clean.
We can't begin to know it
How much we really care.
I hear your voice inside me
I see your face everywhere.
Still you say:
[Chorus, repeat]
And remember that each icon you enter earns you one ballot for January's Submitter of the Month contest, as well as a set number of cards for TCG Exchange if you choose to participate there.

You have until Saturday, January 8th at 8:00 PM (Midnight) EST to submit.
I'm moving the deadline back because not too many people submit this late and it will just make it easier for me to ensure voting actually goes up Saturday night rather than Sunday morning, which is often busy and quickly becomes afternoon/evening
Don't forget to read and follow the rules:
