You’ve been travelling too long in the wastes
Skirting the edges for ages
Now you sling that pack of regret over your shoulder
And then realise there’s nowhere left to run
Sink so slow into the miry depths
Heave those weighted sighs, free one more cry
Let despair unveil the world’s siren lies
Let sorrow teach you truth, teach you truth
(Chorus)
Look up
Past the falling tears of heaven, past the heavy grey
Reach out
For one piercing beam, the inexorable hope
Hold on
Race up that ladder to the sun, ride the light
You’ve been living far-gone in the shifting shadows
Reeling, rolling to a thousand blows
Maybe it’s time enough to pack it all in
And take the way less travelled, the one that’s right
Sink surrendered down to your knees
Lift up those wracking sobs, lay down your naked pain
Let love expose the brokenness
Let sacrifice teach you love, teach you love
(Chorus)
Look up
Past the falling tears of heaven, past the heavy grey
Reach out
For one piercing beam, the inexorable hope
Hold on
Race up that ladder to the sun, ride the light
Look up
Reach out
Hold on
To the embrace of the sun
To the embrace of the son
Look up
Past those heated tears
Reach out
Through the blinding pain
Hold on
With your trembling might
Come into the light
It’s time
