Too Far
Hey I've gone too far
I can't live this down
Please turn back time
Please, God
This is all I have
I have nothing left
Please turn back time
Please, God
With my empty being
Set me at Your feet
Please turn back time
Please, God
Hey, whats going on?
I feel the darkness taking me
Circle the sin.
Inside there's nothing here.
Steal past the light,
and reconcile our lives.
Avenge us tonight.
Lift up our eyes.
Our dreams are not too dark
to hope for Heaven's door is not too far.
Lines on our hands
from working tired lands.
We toil and bless our time
to reconcile our lives.
Avenge us tonight.
Lift up our eyes.
Our dreams are not too dark
If we are the chosen ones,
than we must come undone.
It all seems...
Blanket round ?us speech,?
surround us in all to reach.
It all seems...
Distance from God we know
is self-induced by days let go.
It all seems...
Dark, dark. It all seems dark.
Way down the road,
we find love.
We find love.
Way down the road,
we find love.
We find love.
Lead us back towards home.
Teach us so we can roam.
It all seems...
Way down the road,
we find love.
We find love.
Way down the road,
we find love.
We find love.
Dark, dark. It all seems dark.
