Like a tree without its branches, like a fire without a light, | |
You’re a battle weary soldier who is running from the fight, | |
Like a ship without an anchor, you’re a boat without a crew, | |
You hide the light inside you as you’re whoring out the truth, | |
On the outside you’re pretty, on the inside you’re drenched, | |
In the blood of the anointed in the wound of the oppressed, | |
Fill your cup full of sorrows as you soil the master’s clothes, | |
You were faithful at the wedding feast, but now wasted in the road, | |
Like a city on a hill with a blackout in effect | |
You defy your maker, is there one you respect? | |
Like a city on a hill you are tattered and torn, | |
You defy your | |
Maker in your return to the scorn, | |
Put life to your footsteps, put spine to your feet, | |
Will you make your decision are you chaff or are you wheat? | |
Will you rise or will you fall, will you stand or will you crawl? | |
Will you be the ones | |
He's called you to be or turn away and run, | |
I say No No more on the fence |
Like a tree without its branches, like a fire without a light, | |
You' re a battle weary soldier who is running from the fight, | |
Like a ship without an anchor, you' re a boat without a crew, | |
You hide the light inside you as you' re whoring out the truth, | |
On the outside you' re pretty, on the inside you' re drenched, | |
In the blood of the anointed in the wound of the oppressed, | |
Fill your cup full of sorrows as you soil the master' s clothes, | |
You were faithful at the wedding feast, but now wasted in the road, | |
Like a city on a hill with a blackout in effect | |
You defy your maker, is there one you respect? | |
Like a city on a hill you are tattered and torn, | |
You defy your | |
Maker in your return to the scorn, | |
Put life to your footsteps, put spine to your feet, | |
Will you make your decision are you chaff or are you wheat? | |
Will you rise or will you fall, will you stand or will you crawl? | |
Will you be the ones | |
He' s called you to be or turn away and run, | |
I say No No more on the fence |
Like a tree without its branches, like a fire without a light, | |
You' re a battle weary soldier who is running from the fight, | |
Like a ship without an anchor, you' re a boat without a crew, | |
You hide the light inside you as you' re whoring out the truth, | |
On the outside you' re pretty, on the inside you' re drenched, | |
In the blood of the anointed in the wound of the oppressed, | |
Fill your cup full of sorrows as you soil the master' s clothes, | |
You were faithful at the wedding feast, but now wasted in the road, | |
Like a city on a hill with a blackout in effect | |
You defy your maker, is there one you respect? | |
Like a city on a hill you are tattered and torn, | |
You defy your | |
Maker in your return to the scorn, | |
Put life to your footsteps, put spine to your feet, | |
Will you make your decision are you chaff or are you wheat? | |
Will you rise or will you fall, will you stand or will you crawl? | |
Will you be the ones | |
He' s called you to be or turn away and run, | |
I say No No more on the fence |
