Lyrics
since the trees stopped to whisper
and the wind's refused to blow
what is left to do but tremble?
let your knees fall, let it gowhen the bird withholds his singing
and the rivers cease to flow
when the sun is always setting
let your head fall, let it go
let your head fall, let it gowhile the leaves keep in their secrets
and creation speaks too low
all that you can do is suffer
let your pride fall, let it go
let your pride fall, let it go
why always run
when your feet can't go on?
why curse the sun?
it'll shine when it wantssince the trees stopped to whisper
and the wind's refused to blow
what is left to do but tremble?
let your knees fall, let it go
let your knees fall, let it go -

Lyrics
lately I walk on a lonely road
it's the only road I know
lately I talk with my shadow
no ear to hear my groan
no dwelling to call home
no shelter from the snowlately I sing on a broken stage
no words upon my page
lately I stroll on an empty lane
it's easier that way
no one to see the pain
or to break my heart againand the night covers up my shame
hides away my name, I hate when the morning nears
and the snow covers up my face
I try to erase all trace of these fearslately I sleep alone and underneath
my canopy of trees
lately I've been searching for a friend
burdened with my sin
no refuge from the wind
no one to take me inand the night covers up my shame
hides away my name, I hate when the morning nears
and the snow covers up my face
I try to erase all trace of these fearssomeday I'll see the saints a-welcome me
what else can I believe?
someday we'll sing a perfect melody
in perfect harmony
we'll worship perfectly
see what we've longed to see
where everyone we meet
is long-lost family
no reason more to grieve
no need no more to leavena-na-na-na-na-na-na…
