Badlands

Lighting struck,

Your presence woke us up,

You said, "follow into the night"

Rain quit, moon lit vast plains ahead

And in this vision we know ourselves small

Sun rose on the stones, many shades of light,

The wind was now our guide it led us to the height

At the edge of the cliff all idle chatter quit,

Now with our lives at risk we finally exist

You gave freely, met our needs, cut our hands from

Things and from our veins flowed life giving streams

Onward along the ridge together, breaking bread and glad

With all we saw, we were in awe

Ghost town sheriff put us behind the wall, he don't like

The look of folks in awe

Phantom preacher said, "you outlaws confess",

And we said "yes, we are in awe!"

Said they'd feed us to the birds, we heard the crows caw

But you can't capture wind and you can't control awe

We were in awe

(Glad with all we saw, we were in awe)

Angel made a jail break said go

And walk this land & be in awe.

You must obey God

Rather than man if you're in awe.

Angel made a jail break said go & walk this land & be in awe.

You must obey God rather than man if you're in awe.
