Transient - We Do Not Lose Heart lyrics

rate me

Where do we go, from where do we leave?

Is there a destination or are we wandering free?

or are we really even free and what does freedom really mean?

what reason do we have to not lose steam?

we could throw in the towel then pick it up to wipe our brow

running laps around an endless track snaking through the sand and never turn back.

what reason do we have to step up

and do our part?

So it benefits us, so we do not lose heart?

And by what holy ordination do we carry the flickering flame?

Did we light it ourselves for some selfish gain?

Was it snuffed out by my agonizing pain?

Do we even care at all, as long as we remain?

I can't give you all the answers

but I can tell you what I know

No sane man would build a dam

just to watch it overflow.

we didn't come this far

to watch it fall apart

so as we press on

we do not lose heart

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,

When sorrows like sea billows roll;

Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,

It is well, it is well, with my soul.
