My heavy steps took me far away
A distant dream that I can’t wake up from
Eyes on the ground, may it keep me safe
What did you expect here
Can’t take the empty place where my feelings fell
Or that the blood that’s in my veins came from someone else
Yeah, I offer up my heart, not a hand to help
I’m too afraid to take the pain or the prison cell
I can’t face myself
Only cages and concrete
Only one revolt away
Just a thread that binds me here
A life to mourn what I won’t mend
Scattering my silence into the wind
Lost myself but now I’m found
So I will pick you back up so I can say “it was
Me that let you down”
We know the dark never goes away
But to shine the light like a lighthouse in the rain
I swear to stay
with you against crashing waves
In every story’s pledge
The brave are blessed and welcomed in
But in the fight we bear the cross
Until the nails find our skin
So find strength and sanctuary
Solid earth and steady gaze
A barricade woven of broken hearts
Killing guilt to forge our grace
Is my conviction fading in the distance,
Promise to earn this, so honor never leaves my sight
Is my conviction fading in the distance
Promise to earn a tomorrow that will be alright
My heavy steps took me far away
But it’s a dream I can still wake up from
Eyes on the sky, may it keep me brave
Standing ground, I can still save someone
