Lyrics

When I was young I heard a tale
Of vastness in the skies
It all just seemed like fiction
In a world all filled with lies
But something tells me life's too short
And we were meant for more
Than a tangled web of doubt and pain
Of famine, tears and war

But shades of truth come now and then
When I hear the howling wind
When I stand alone in the driving rain
And I count my drops of sin
When Someone speaks in a golden voice
That softens every scar
So this world can only bring me down so far
I will set my compass by the morning star

We walk this path of destiny
Beginning to the end
And though the road runs high and low
The pathway does not bend
I've kicked the dust from off my shoes
And weary I walk on
To Someone Somewhere up ahead
When all of This is gone

This path of life is like a constellation
Through all this desolation
I have found a Consolation

O blades of truth cut through the air
When I hear a howling wind
When I stand alone in the driving rain
And I count my drops of sin
When Thunder speaks in a gloried voice
And takes away the scar
O this world can only bring me down so far
I will set my compass by the morning star
