The Sun Rises and the Sun Sets...and Still Our Time Is Endless lyrics

1. For the Flames Beneath Your Bridge, My Heart's Collapsed
Let's run and not look back
When yesterdays come calling we'll leave its
falling prey worries and broken hopes
He believes in us so I'll try my best to be there for you to help you along
Because I have confidence in you too
Now you know my hearts prayer (that I see the world in you)
And I believe he who began a good work in you, will carry it through
The time is now
Relief from understanding encouragement and strength from truth
Hope is that which binds this together
You won't be weak (this is eternal) it will last forever
This friendship will last
Your bridge's burn is my heart's collapse and we know a cord of three strands is not easily broken
As time unfolds we'll see uncertanties take flight
It's clear that tomorrow's just a chance a chance that we cannot take
In time it will prevail it will stand the length of time
It will prevail

2. Not A Word
Here we are unfaithful with our words
Choices made that separate life and love leaving empty eyes and
hands that dare not touch the truth
Honestly dishonest this selfish pursuit buried deep in a discord of faith
While not concerned with their hearts (here we are unfaithful with our words)
discoveries overlooked entirely
What's in my mind what's written on my heart
What's remembered no more
The old is obsolete and the new will make the old soon disappear
Though I feel wicked we can give good things
May my wealth be found and be worthy of my duty
I call for change to end this life I long only to hold true
To be a witness held by goodness held back by conviction
I truly am blowing in the wind
Without you holding me there would be nothing left to speak of
Even though I feel that I am less than the least can I sing in the shadows of your wings
Where else might I sing but in the shadows of your wings?
Where else might I hide but in the shadows of your wings?
Where else?

3. Rewrite My Concepts
Gasping for one breath of resolution
I'm left with burns in the third degree to a degree of failure
You failed me I failed you
Just one piece of the whole picture
A glance away from the running storm
One way into the warmth
I have not one piece unharmed
You've taken that glance you rewrote it into your eternity of warmth
You rewrote it into eternity
These battles I never sought
I ask you in honesty how can I see past this reality
Comfort take me in but I want to see it in the fullness of what it should mean to me
Show me why I have these tears for you

4. Long Letters
I'm losing hold of today's and clinging to forever's
Waiting for your hands that reach the sky to hold me once again
Could you tell me?
How is it that you bring the heavens to this empty room?
There is not one thing about you that fails to amaze me
I have wasted so much time
Patient for more empty words and hoping for love in their eyes
All for nothing but let downs and apologies sweet apologies
I pray you see my heart here now
It's burning more desperate than these longs letters could ever read or show
These let downs always come
I know them better then anyone
You�ll be there for me
I know you'll see me through
This way I see it seems so new to me

5. Meant To Be
You are beautiful amazing
Our friendship is ever growing
A never ending journey
I hold you in the highest a place that no other will touch
These days we've been back and forth so it's all or nothing now
This is our story our testimony and strength to push forward
May we constantly see with eyes of pure thought
You have been a part of who I am
It will never be forgotten
Us together us forever
This bond will not be broken

6. My Devotion
This road is worn
It's a long walk to home
Rest seems lost on my own
The world has no mercy for me
All I need is something to live for and stand by
A love that's true
I have passion for freedom
I want truth to set me free
This is where my feet slip
Where's my devotion to you?
What's truth. belief?
The point that stands
Beginning, reason
It's the breaking of a heart
I've been put down and let down
But I've been touched cared for and held onto
Cried many times "make this right"
Words were whispered "then change your fight"
All these things tie me down
"Hope deferred make the heart sick"
So keep me strong and sleeping on through the night

7. Fall
My voice fell at the word of yours in my heart
My shallow ideas fall far before your feet
To know all of these would be to know your hand
But my frailty uncovers what I really am not what I mean to be
Sear my heart to you and sear my eyes
All these scars keep me from seeing clearly
I am broken crying and falling for you
Take this confusion away
Show this new road show me the way past my own strength
As though I have no hope again as though you have never taken me in
Like a child with his hands to his father I come uncovered
I'm in need of you more than ever

8. Behind Unseen Walls
How far have I driven myself from that security I once tasted?
I thought I was so much closer to grasping certainty
Waiting for what I've seen to be taken away from me
Inside I hide alone and undefined
A fear breeds as I'm not received leaving a lack of trust
While wanting and wishing for a hand of purity to hold
As you are always pushing me you are always pushing me
We're just wasted prayers without holding onto your embrace
and realizing life is worth living
Accepting acceptance
Time after time these wounds stand to breathe again
Help me to stand higher
With hope for tomorrow and confidence to live for today

9. When It All Comes Down
To the author of this dream
To the maker of these wings I will fly with tonight
Words fail to touch my thanks
They hold no weight and leave us cold
You told me to sing so here's my song
