I’ll lift my head to find the sunrise and call your name
I’m unsteady never certain could fall again
Trouble locks into your sightline you stall
Faith unworthy will this work at all
Desire has risen like a blood sun the sound of chords
Of change that wakes us from the deep to ground with force
The slightest shift is all it takes I’ve found
Escape to heaven in a step unbound
The right words just won’t fall at our feet
Is it love is it death so won’t you take a seat
I’ll reach for the sky a little worse for wear
The depth of memory means you’re always there
I know the rain won’t fall on me alone
Carry the words my father never sung
And while hope never fades
We can’t just sit around some place and wait
When this is where we belong
Wipe all yesterdays and walk tall ignore the cost
All of the thousand little doubts you wore then lost
This is the spark within the fire, the roar
I’m digging deep with you beside and I want more
Our faith it hangs til we wake from the haze
Scream to the sky that I’ve seen better days
I agree with them less maybe youth is remorse
I’m ripping up roots to turn my back on the source
CHORUS
And in the raising of a dead hope we’ll find a new belief
I’m not one for hesitation just keep moving on our feet
A dance of new defiance, won’t reinvent the wheel
We’re never too old to feel
CHORUS
