Every Step

Like all broken fathers
Estranged from sons and daughters
Sorrow comes often up that path

Watch for you on that old road
Haunted by regrets dressed up like hope
Those ghosts in cloaks keep coming back

Hold me now, I think I finally can understand it
Heaven knows that the way this broke ain't the way we planned it
We can always ask for grace but we cannot demand it

Constellations crashing down
If those lost stars could speak out loud
Falling suns all calling out
Please don't let that light go out

In my dream, I saw you walking
Sadness up above you stalking
It followed you just like a hawk

Then you sat there all alone
And set your lonely eyes for home
But I woke up before I tried to talk

Hold me now, I think I finally understand it
Heaven knows that the way this broke ain't the way we planned it
We can always ask for grace but we cannot demand it

Constellations crashing down
If this old floor could speak out loud
Wood on bruised knees calling out
Please don't let this light go out

We know that we are sorry
It's time for you to come back home
I'm at the window in the hallway
A distant figure is on that road

Now I'm standing in the doorway
The lamplight is already lit
I see you coming towards me
I will run to you every step
I will run to you every step
I will run to you every step
