Away We Go Lyrics

This is the rhythm of the night

This is the rhythm of the night

Away we go, away we go

I escape from my nightmares barefoot through broken glass

And the demons that chase me smell the blood on their path

Hopping into sedans where the tires have been slashed

To make a getaway that's blocked by the fires and ash

Gotta ask for a faster way than fascination with the path I've taken

Taking longer than expectations stated when I made the statement not waiting

I think I got lost, I've been counting on God, never counting the cost

I've been walking by faith, needing no explanation

These ill-fated, vacated faces saying I'm faking

I'll know it's safe when I see the glow, then I'll know I've made it

Safely through this Hades we've been strafing just to make it

Maybe I'll have to feel my way through the dark and listen hard

For a still, small voice, I call upon the Lord

I know He's beside me, even when I'm denying He has His hands guiding me

Away we go, away we go

It's why we fight, why we live this life

Why we shine this light

Had a celebration low-key in the shadows with no lights on

Because the Savior had a hope we knew wouldn't fade and we could lean on

We knew at the start this was only getting tougher, wouldn't be gone

But every victory made it lighter and the light struck away our burdens

There was a purchase that was surfaced for the nervous and the frail

That made us read outside the lines and touch it like it was Braille

And with every exhale we felt a little bit of life

The type you can't really feel until you step out into the night

To shine a light and to your surprise you find

There was more within your sight and despite all you despise

There's still a love that grows inside that fights away the pain

Until it's denied and there's a love for the world

Not just the one outside your window, with the world you have to seek

To see the part you've never been to, this is me

When God opened my eyes inside the night to see the light through

That's what light do

Away we go, away we go

This is why we fight, why we live this life

Why we shine this light

So if I tell you we are leaving I pray you wouldn't feel rejected

This retrospective directions God has led us

I read it, said it, the message for where we're headed

May all the feet that's filled with lead be unembedded

Impressive that the lesser I am the more that he makes of me

And the more I fear the more he creates a faith in me

Waiting impatiently for the creator to call me out the darkness

Now he leads me to the darkness with this light that's meant for sparking

Heavy hearted as we depart, but this part is an important pardon

And all these days inside my life, the time that I had squandered

Used to ponder the purpose inside my person

Till I was offered a crown to be a servant

And let my service do the talking

I am a narrative written by the greatest of all authors

Offer these words on an altar to the Lord to show my father

That the farther he can take it, let it be the farthest that I go

LZ with the locals

Away we go, away we go

It's why we fight, why we live this life

Why we shine this light

Away we go, away we go

It's why we fight, why we live this life

Why we shine this light

Away we go

Away we go
