Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I watch the shadows grow so tall
While righteous men begin to fall
The hollow thrive, the wicked climb
While I count the pulse of wasted time
I walk through halls of smoke and glass
Watching every ghost of maybe past
Tempted by a song I didn't write
A piper's tune in the dead of night
[Chorus]
I felt the pull of the velvet lie
The desert wind that leaves me dry
But there's a line of thin gold thread
That pulls me back from the path of dread
To the river's edge where the water's deep
Where the promises I couldn't keep
Are washed away, father, along
Are washed away, father, along
[Chorus]
We'll see the light through the haze, father, along
We'll find the why in the maze
So hold on, my soul
Walk in the sun
We'll understand it
When the race is done
[Verse 2]
The world is pressing on my chest
A heavy heart, a mind at rest
Between the truth and the gilded tongue
Between the songs that I should've sung
But I've tasted grace, a hidden fire
That burns the weight of my own desire
I'm like a child let out to run
Underneath the kind and ancient sun
[Chorus]
My levee's broke, my walls gave in
To a love that knows where I have been
My cup is full, it overflows
With a peace that this world never knows
Let the flood come
Let the flood come
[Bridge]
And when the sky begins to thin
And the King invites the stranger in
Every knee will hit the dust
In a moment of fear and a lifetime of trust
We are the guests at a table of gold
Leaving the stories that we've been told
Singing, "Maranatha, Lord, come, Son"
[Chorus]
Farther along
We'll see the light through the haze, farther along
We'll find the why in the maze
So hold on, my soul
Walk in the sun
We'll understand it
When the race is done
Oh, by and by
By and by
