Chris Caruso - Tribes Lyrics

Where are you from?
Why have you come?
We can't let you in
Until we know where you've been

I see from your plate
You're from out of state
We should welcome you
It's what we used to do

We live here with our tribe
It's kept us all alive
Now you're asking us to trust
And make you one of us

Here every day is like the last
You start to lose track
We don't think about the past
There's not much good in that
What you're asking me today
I'm not sure what to say
But whatever we decide
We won't risk the tribe

Gloved hands and covered faces
Testing and contact traces
We keep to ourselves
Away from everyone else

So give me some time
To turn it over in my mind
Maybe you can stay
Or else be on your way

Oh what we've become
In such a short time
Everything we've done
Was with one thing in mind
Whichever way it goes
Whatever the future holds
They've stood by my side
This is our tribe
