Among the Stars - Nine Lashes

There’s a weight no man can bear

There’s a trouble in my heart

There’s a pressure coming down on us

That lives beneath the stars

But there’s a way out of the woods

For just a simple man

Forgiven

We could break our backs alone

We could labor in the sun

If we build our towers high enough

We could live among the stars

But there’s a resting we won’t know

For the heart will still be

Unforgiven

And all along

You are standing by our side

We carry on, running farther

We’re all alone

Or so we tell ourselves at night

But deep down we know

That you are home

You are home

You are home

We are the dust

In this dirty little world

We are the rust in this machine

That’s coming down

And in the darkness of the clouds

We’re hiding from the sun

If only we could find it in our hearts

To be forgiven

And all along

You are standing by our side

We carry on, running farther

We’re all alone

Or so we tell ourselves at night

But deep down we know

That you are home

You are home

We’re all losing sight of

The weight of our fall

Running blind to die from

These hands of our own

I need you to find me

Wherever you are

I need you to

Light my way home

All along

You are standing by our side

We carry on, running farther

We’re all alone

Or so we tell ourselves at night

But deep down we know

That you are home

And all along

You are standing by our side

We carry on, running farther

We’re not alone

You are with us in the night

And deep down we know

That we are home

We are home

You’ve found me where I lie

Set wrongs of mine to right

And I can sleep at night

'Cause all has been forgiven

My heart has made its home

With Christ and Christ alone

Christ alone
