Calling On The One
(back) (listen / download)
Thorns in our sides we’re open wide
Out there in the prairie
Born without eyes our lives rely
Just like missionaries
Among the tall grass and the tumbleweed
We dodge the rattlesnakes and wolverines
Temperature rising uncompromising
And lift our voice up the the skies
Calling on the one who will always shine
Waiting for the moment when the stars align
Searching for the sound as the lights go down
Bursting like a fault line and falling all around
Calling on the one
Can i pretend my only friend
Has not led me safely
Through every storm i am transformed
Reanimate me
If trial by fire is what’s in front of me
My master does not fear my enemies
The gallows beckon but for a second
Before our voices testify
Calling on the one who will always shine
Waiting for the moment when the stars align
Searching for the sound as the lights go down
Bursting like a fault line and falling all around
Calling on the one
This isn’t easy baby
Where will this highway take me
Under the influence of love
What if the only reason
Is that our only freedom
Now and forever lies above
