Stephen Simmons - Long Way To Go Lyrics

LONG WAY TO GO
 
You can run for the hills
Or the cover that darkness gives
You can run wherever your poor heart desires
You can run till you’re weary
From the darkness within ye
But pretty soon you’ll soon be looking up higher
 
You can run from the dealer
Give up your seat at his table sir
But sooner or later he’ll deal you in
Cause you can’t run from your maker
This world’s sweet, but you can’t take her
With you if you’re following him
 
Chorus:
But oh oh
Don’t give up on my soul
Oh oh
Just got a long way to go
 
You can walk down that aisle
Get down on your knees child
Stare down and face the congregation
Or you can get down on your knees
In your bedroom if it pleases you
And beg for the power of redemption
 
Or the power to change
The power to remain
Give you strength in bold new ways
Cause these things that will lead you
In this world man can teach you
But there’ll come an end to these earthly days
 
Chorus
 
And I heard somebody say
You gotta walk that lonesome valley
On your own just to prove your worth
And before all that be inspired
Some medieval sorcerer had conspired
In a dusty old book from the old world
 
And before all of that
I heard “I am that I am”
And “As a man thinketh so is he”
And I guess everybody’s saying
The same things in different ways
As I am right now so let’s all agree
 
Chorus
 
But oh oh
Don't give up on our souls
Yes oh oh
We just got a long way to go
