A Hope For Home - Absolution: Of Flight And Failure lyrics

rate me

There is nowhere to turn, I have nowhere to go<br />

They've burned down the bridges and boarded up the doors<br />

So I'll make my escape with feathers, wax and string. <br />

Fly far from this place, 'till there's nothing left to see.<br />

Its so far, down to the ground.<br />

<br />

What awaits for me? I long for things unseen. Your warnings fail.<br />

I would rather die then never try.<br />

Now watch me climb with the wind at my feet. The clouds become the ground.<br />

I sense the folly in my ways.<br />

It weighs me down, so far down. These wings can't hold me up!<br />

But these wings cannot fail me! They have taken me this far.<br />

Father! You have blessed me with these hands, though they are calloused and they are scarred. You have blessed me with these hands. But they are destined to let me down.<br />

<br />

Dare I heed the warnings that you've given?<br />

If I fail then I fail with my pride.<br />

<br />

As the salt water fills my lungs, I finally see<br />

That I've forsaken Your will, and replaced it with my own selfish needs.<br />

But oh, my God, won't you let me fall from the sky, embraced in flames?<br />

I've done this to myself.<br />

<br />

These wings were built with purpose, but I have used them for my own.<br />

These hands were made to lift you up so high, instead they tear you down.<br />

If I'm to drown into the depths then let me go. For a second chance, <br />

Ill start my life over. My lord I'll give, with love, my everything<br />
