O Lord

[Verse] O Lord My shoes are heavy Mud-caked and worn Dusty roads keep stretchin’ Past the station’s horn Where shadows dance like memories Too vague to see O Lord I’m wanderin’ with chains you won’t free [Verse 2] The river gurgles secrets that the winds have kept Mirrored in the surface Where the sorrow's wept O Lord I’m callin’ From a place you won’t hear Lost in the echoes Diluted by fear [Chorus] O Lord These tangled vines of time Wrap around my heart and mind Tired soul A lamented cry O Lord Why'd you pass me by? [Verse 3] The old clock's rusted Ticks an endless doom Curtains close around me like a shroud and tomb O Lord For every breath I ache In this silent night For heaven’s sake [Bridge] Perplexified by paths unseen Where angels tread Whispers of a promise Where old dreams shed O Lord This chant I carry slow In voices deep and shadows’ low [Verse 4] One step follows another in a dance unkind Lost souls wander through the cracked and blind O Lord Tired I sing my blues In verses deep Where the shadows fuse
