Farther along we’ll know all about it  Farther along we’ll understand why  Cheer up my brothers, live in the sunshine  We’ll understand this, all by and by 

Tempted and tried, I wondered why  The good man died, the bad man thrives  And Jesus cries because he loves em’ both  We’re all cast-aways in need of ropes  Hangin’ on by the last threads of our hope  In a house of mirrors full of smoke  Confusing illusions I’ve seen 

Where did I go wrong, I sang along  To every chorus of the song  That the devil wrote like a piper at the gates  Leading mice and men down to their fates  But some will courageously escape  The seductive voice with a heart of faith  While walkin’ that line back home 

So much more to life than we’ve been told  It’s full of beauty that will unfold  And shine like you struck gold my wayward son  That deadweight burden weighs a ton  Go down into the river and let it run  And wash away all the things you’ve done  Forgiveness alright 

Chorus 

Still I get hard pressed on every side  Between the rock and a compromise  Like the truth and pack of lies fightin’ for my soul  And I’ve got no place left go  Cause I got changed by what I’ve been shown  More glory than the world has known  Keeps me ramblin’ on 

Skipping like a calf loosed from its stall  I’m free to love once and for all  And even when I fall I’ll get back up  For the joy that overflows my cup  Heaven filled me with more than enough  Broke down my levee and my bluff  Let the flood wash me 

And one day when the sky rolls back on us  Some rejoice and the others fuss  Cause every knee must bow and tongue confess  That the son of god is forever blessed  His is the kingdom, we’re the guests  So put your voice up to the test  Sing Lord, come soon 

Chorus

from Love & War & The Sea In Between, released June 15, 2011
