Lyrics

[00:00.17] 06.Without Running Away
[00:03.89] .
[00:18.65] I've spent some days looking
[00:21.02] For a length of rope
[00:22.96] And a place to hang it
[00:24.96] From the end of my hope
[00:27.33] But where I thought hope had ended
[00:29.90] I always find a little bit more
[00:34.02] .
[00:36.90] It's not like I'm trying
[00:38.90] To be optimistic
[00:41.08] If the truth be told
[00:43.58] I'd rather dismiss it
[00:45.46] And be free of the burden
[00:48.02] Of the living that hoping requires
[00:52.08] .
[00:54.96] To bring my heart
[00:59.52] To every day
[01:04.14] And run the risk of fearlessly loving
[01:07.14] Without running away
[01:09.64] .
[01:17.83] Jesus is speaking
[01:19.58] But it's so hard to hear
[01:22.02] When disciples with swords
[01:24.33] Are cutting off ears
[01:26.71] Broken and bleeding
[01:28.64] I'm waiting for healing to come
[01:33.14] .
[01:35.96] But wounded's a part
[01:37.71] That I've learned to play well
[01:40.27] Though the wound may run deeper
[01:42.39] Than I know how to tell
[01:44.83] Where pain's an addiction
[01:46.96] That keeps me buried alive
[01:53.77] But when it's all that I know
[01:56.27] I'm afraid to leave it behind
[01:58.89] .
[02:01.27] And bring my heart
[02:07.77] To every day
[02:12.46] And run the risk of fearlessly loving
[02:15.58] Without running away
[02:18.21] .
[02:21.27]
[02:26.18] My heart is not lifted up
[02:30.68] My eyes are not lifted up
[02:34.93] But calm and quiet is my soul
[02:43.68] Like a child with its mother is my soul
[02:51.68] .
[02:55.30] After a while in the dark
[02:57.99] Your eyes will adjust
[02:59.93] In the shadows you'll find
[03:02.62] The hand you can trust
[03:04.68] And the still small voice
[03:06.93] That calls like the rising sun
[03:11.87] Come
[03:13.24] .
[03:14.37] And bring your heart
[03:18.24] To every day
[03:23.05] Run the risk of fearlessly loving
[03:26.12] Without running away
[03:31.74] You must run the risk of fearlessly loving
[03:35.24] Without running away
