Lyrics

As winds of change begin to blow
At times when spirit's running low
For all you've done nothing to show
By holding on a little longer ...
We find the fire makes us stronger
And through it all we learn endurance is the key to our proficiency
With faith the only way to survive another day
If it's true that tribulation worketh patience
Then I should be a patient man but patient is not what I am
Now questioning the terms of my existence no anchor here to steady me
Alone I face a raging sea
For everyone there's a specific point in time
Where physical improvement changes to decline
Although I can't recall that moment it was long before today
And still I haven't said the things I need to say
To turn from anger and temptation is just a distant memory
When confronted by reality
And jonah like denying my salvation
I struggle with myself each day while precious hours slip away
In an age of kings and drones there's no denying
Freedom is a narrow door which can't be promised anymore
Still destined to forever keep on trying
I crave tomorrow's rising sun another chapter just begun
I know there is a reason for why this world is such
That an honest man gets taken and the wicked get so much
I know there is a reason for losses we acquire
And if the fire is what purifies I'll stand this trial by fire
At times when spirit's running low
For all you've done nothing to show
Triumph is never letting go
