Distant Lights
music and lyrics by Daniel Quinn
So long, goodbye
I'm not coming back this time
I'm off to follow distant lights
I need some space from the darkness of this place
To somehow get this smoke to leave my eyes
You called and I came running
Out of where I was before
I reach for You
You called and I came running
Faster than I was before
Stumbling, Stalling, Crawling the whole way home
You can keep my things
I don't need them anyway
All that I can't take I'll leave behind
They don't see what I see
They can't look past the night
I'm heading off to follow distant lights
You called and I came running
Out of where I was before
I reach for You
You called and I came running
Faster than I was before
Stumbling, Stalling, Crawling the whole way home
And even through the longest winter's night
I will follow, I will follow
I can see those distant lights
I will follow, I will follow
You called and I came running
Out of where I was before
I reach for You
You called and I came running
Faster than I was before
Stumbling, Stalling, Crawling the whole way home
If You Only Knew...
music and lyrics by Daniel Quinn
Do you even know how far you've gone?
All out of gas and your windshield's busted
Running from your wrong turns and mistakes
Going down the mountain with no brakes
Bet you've gone about a million miles
Ran from the truth and you never looked back now
Whatcha gonna do when the darkness falls?
Your shadows will catch up to you
It's all out of hindsight now
Your rearview mirror shows everything somehow
And you're all out of open road
You just want to go back home
If you only knew the way
You roll your windows down
Try to drown those voices out
You can hide, but you can't run from what you carry with you
It's all out of hindsight now
Your rearview mirror shows everything somehow
And you're all out of open road
You just want to go back home
If you only knew the way
Why are you running from Him?
Why do you want to be alone?
If you could open up your heart
Love will lead you home
Love will lead you home
Love will lead you
Everything is changing now
These things you thought you knew
The floor came crashing down
And you're still falling through
It's about time you turned around,
looked at all those tracks you made
All you need is one good right turn
tears will dry and scars will fade
It's all out of hindsight now
Your rearview mirror shows everything somehow
And you're all out of open road
You just want to go back home
If you only knew the way
Witness for the Defense
music and lyrics by Daniel Quinn
Did You want to give up, did You want to collapse
With the weight of the sins of the world on Your back?
And each drop of blood that You spilled on the way
Marking a path I would follow someday
Do You think this covers me?
Does this really cover me?
Not one word of protest, not one denial
No last minute repreive as You walked the last mile
No one argued Your case as they drove the nails in
You gave all of yourself to cover my sin
Do You think this covers me?
Does this really cover me?
You are my witness
You are my defender
Help me to be strong
Help me to remember
That all this covers me
And all this covers me
The judge is presiding
The verdict is in
I wait in Your chambers as guilty as sin
You're standing beside me, I'm covered in blood
Washing away everything that I was
You are my witness
You are my defender
Help me to be strong
Help me to remember
That all this covers me
And all this covers me
Men At Arms
music and lyrics by Daniel Quinn
Ready your rifles and sharpen your swords
We're supposed to be waiting,
We've forgotten what for.
Losing the battle, but winning the war
We wait for day to come
We wait for day to come
To all of the ones who have fallen behind:
The world-weary wounded, the wandering blind
This burden is easy, this burden is light
Wait for day to come
Wait for day to come
We faithful, we few, we fragile with hope
Turning our backs to the cold
And we wait for day to come
We wait for day to come
How long has it been since we've come to this place?
Standing still for so long, we've forgotten your face
Our souls marching onward, our bodies in place -
We wait for day to come
We wait for day to come
The night burns too slow, and the fires just don't catch
The flames from the dawn haven't kindled us yet
It's too cold to sleep and our bones are too wet
So we wait for day to come
We wait for day to come
We faithful, we few, we fragile with hope
Turning our backs to the cold
And we wait for day to come
We wait for day to come
One Man War
music and lyrics by Daniel Quinn
Your weapon is your pride
You're bleeding from your heart
Blinded by the light
Hiding in the dark
You're in the line of fire
They've got you in their sights
You might not take a bullet
But you'll never leave alive
And if they take you down tonight
You go down all alone
A martyr to the lost
Who never made it home
Did you ever ask yourself
What you're still fighting for
Have you thought about surrender?
You can't win a one man war
The Captain died to save you
His blood is on the field
You cling in desperation
To wounds that never healed
Why are you so angry?
Why do you still hate?
They're all useless weapons
And you should throw them all away
And if they take you down tonight
You go down all alone
A martyr to the lost
Who never made it home
Did you ever ask yourself
What you're still fighting for
Have you thought about surrender?
You can't win a one man war
You'll never walk away
You love this old crusade
Get them in your sights
And then you blow someone away
Staring at the Devil
down the barrell of a gun
Taking on the world
In a war that can't be won
And if they take you down tonight
You go down all alone
A martyr to the lost
Who never made it home
Did you ever ask yourself
What you're still fighting for
Have you thought about surrender?
You can't win a one man war
All for the Good
music and lyrics by Daniel Quinn
Broken, bleeding
Losing all feeling
Standing, reeling
I think that I have lost my feet again
And still you say this too shall pass away
I wonder how it is that you can say
It's all for the good
Stalling, crawling
Hardly walking
Feeling so betrayed
Are You by my side today?
And still you say this too shall pass away
I wonder how it is that you can say
It's all for the good
From the floor it all looks different
I can see I'm so dependent
Hold me now, I finally see
That You are always here with me
You were always here with me
And still you say these things will pass away
And still you say these things will pass away
And still you say this too shall pass away
I wonder how it is that you can say
It's all for the good
Asleep on the Watch
music and lyrics by Daniel Quinn
Tired of fighting sleep
It's so hard to stay awake
Hours pass like weeks
I don't think you'll come tonight
And I'll just close my eyes for a minute while you're gone
And I won't be awake when you come home
Used to be so bold
Used to be so vigilant
Now my heart is cold
Wonder where the fire went
And I'll just close my eyes for a minute while you're gone
And I won't be awake when you come home
I feel asleep waiting for you
But I've gotten so comfortable now
They say to watch for you
But I'd rather just lay down
And I'll just close my eyes for a minute while you're gone
And I won't be awake when you come home
