Lyrics
The Authors
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They're letting their eyes cross
'Cause they don't know
They don't know what we know
That these lights are only here
To lead us in the wrong direction
Or to a false impression
Impact is up to us
And it's all these days
That kept us so far away
We can break out of this name
We could give ourselves meaning
We were never sorry for the choices that we've made
Not to sing in your name
But what is faith?
Not in the mood to chase
Not after these things will never change
A small claim to the stories we've told
Who says we're wrong?
With waking arms we stood so strong
It's inevitable and it's up to us
And it's all these days
That kept us so far away
We can break out of this name
We could give ourselves meaning
We were never sorry for the choices that we've made
Not to sing in your name
But what is faith?
I hope I'm not the only one
With these words sitting on my tongue
(I'm not afraid to say this)
Only drowning men could see
(That's not enough for me)
And it's all these days
That kept us so far away
We can break out of this name
We could give ourselves meaning
We were never sorry for the choices that we've made
Not to sing in your name
But what is faith?
