The Choir - A World Away lyrics

The Choir - A World Away

All bright things have shadow sides

Gilded kingdoms are illusion

To be forgiven is to know divine love

Proud religion is delusion

I'm a world away from enlightened

More than a stone's throw from the truth

I'm a sad, far cry from a man who never lies

But I'll hold the lantern high for you

I'll hold the lantern high for you

I have stumbled down dark streets

Too drunk to know the dangerously

Too blind to tell a demon from an angel

Or a lover from a stranger

I'm a world away from enlightened

More than a stone's throw from the truth

I'm a sad, far cry from a man who never lies

But I'll hold the lantern high for you

I'll hold the lantern high for you

Scratching at the ocean floor

No hop to fix your eyes on

Then suddenly you're breathing under water

Behold the luminous horizon

I'm a world away from enlightened

More than a stone's throw from the truth

I'm a sad, far cry from a man who never lies

But I'll hold the lantern high for you

I'll hold the lantern high for you
