Starfield - Quiet Waters lyrics

rate me

Quiet Waters

Tim Neufeld, Dave Miller

You have led me to the

banks of quiet waters

I can still remember how

We'd walk and talk for hours

You would lead me

past the outer courts

Into your secret place

Through the valley of the shadow

Along the straight and narrow road

But along the way somewhere

I lost sight of the promise

What used to be a childlike faith

became a white-washed tomb

As I let my gaze fall on this

fallen world around me

The injustice of it all

won't let me let it go

And I don't know why

But still my hope is in you

all this may never make sense

But my eyes, my eyes are on you

And laying down my crown

And falling to my knees

I'm giving up the facade

that is becoming me

I've offered empty praise

And overused cliche's

For too long I've grown so tired of this game

I am so thirsty for more

I can't be satisfied

to sit along the rivers banks and wait

Somewhere inside of me

there's a hunger for what lies beneath the surface

I've spent so long just getting by

on borrowed faith and dead religion

I've come this far to only realize

I've not come far at all
