Even The Wind And The Waves Lyrics

There's gotta be more, why do you stand to ruin

Why do you take, but still not embrace

Your heart is hardened, your mind a wandering victim

This life is not a sentence, but a gift that is given

And as you drown in your own self-pity

You expelle my true desires, and your soul is left starving

My voice, the thing you're running away from

Even though the silence has now been shaken

To live a life in liberty

To be a slave or to be free

To face the darkest hours

To stand as a king, not a coward

And find the light that burns in the heart of the city

Rip through this flesh, so perfect, so blessed

Dig deep between the seams that consume this life

And capture death amongst these walls

And give me strength, my lord, so I can dance among the thorns

Yeah, I will dance among the thorns

To live a life in liberty

To be a slave or to be free

To face the darkest hours

To stand as a king, not a coward

And find the light that burns in the heart of this city

Even the wind and the waves

Even the wind and the waves

Even the wind and the waves will obey

But I am so small in faith

I am the one you call the redeemer

But you hold yourself back

I am the one you call the life giver

But you believe all the lies

To live a life in liberty

To be a slave or to be free

To face the darkest hours

To stand as a king, not a coward

And find the light that burns in the heart of this city

Of this city

To face the darkest hours

To stand as a king, not a coward

And find the light that burns in the heart of this city

Of this city
