lyrics

I found a secluded spot for my home
I made it from brick and from mortar and stone
It was a house where I could be alone
A place to heal all of my hearts broken bones
I locked the door and I threw away the key
So that nobody could ever find me
I prefer solitude over company
Cause it’s the one who’s always there for me

I got too comfortable in my old ways
Lost sight of everyone and everything
Held back by regret for mistakes I’d made
I dug, fell into, and somehow filled this grave
Now I just lay here, there’s mud in my eyes
Above ground it’s raining, my Father, He cries,
“Son, I’d been waiting for you a while,
Didn’t you know that I died for you and for that smile?”

I gotta get away
I think I’ll leave today
I’ll just get on a train
Or maybe a plane
Tell, what’s that you say?
You think that I should stay?
But I hear a world calling my name
And they need me more today

Killing my softly; my malfunctioned pride
The Sword of the Spirit spills blood from my side
Words from my sister send chills up my spine
I feel so dead, but she says I’m alive
There’s so much more to this than you and me
So shake of your immature insecurities
I know you feel blind but it’s easy to see
Just open your heart and allow it to believe

I gotta get away
I think I’ll leave today
I’ll just get on a train
Maybe I’ll take a plane
Cause I got something to say
Probably not what you’d think
But I hear a world calling out for His name
And they need Him more than me today
