out of roads.......

from Something More: Songs for Skeptics

This is one of those emotional songs you'd really hate for them to play during Camp's Worship time... because it will inevitably break some tears! I may not have observed much of Lent this year, but I'd reflect on my situation, very much like the chap who is singing this song. A (probably) smart (so I've heard) fellow with lots of head knowledge (then again), thinks that he knows much by studying and able to interpret the stars. So he ventures out of his father's house, spending his times and life till he comes to this night, when he looks at the stars again and wonders why is he still lost... But determination has another name, some calls it perseverance, and he stay on. But he knows that he's just delaying the inevitable, for he has this haunting need that he can't deny... But maybe tomorrow?

Out of Roads...

I just ran out of roads again
Don't know where to turn
I started counting stars again
Then I lost my way

I just ran out of time again
Will I ever learn?
To stop my chase of hours again
Only to learn I've lost the day

The last thing I need is to hear
This whisper in the wind
The last thing I want is this voice
That rises from within

I'll need to go home soon, I know
But maybe tomorrow, not now
The last thing I need here and now
is this lasting need for You

I've been rushing out of rooms again
Too afraid to stay
I've been dreaming of some rainbows end
But the colours melt away

Should my heart be like an open door
Help us to restore
Permit Your wind to touch my soul
Only to leave this aching song

The last thing I need is to hear
This whisper in the wind
The last thing I want is this voice
That rises from within

I'll need to go home soon, I know
But maybe tomorrow, not now
The last thing I need here and now
Is this lasting need for You

The one thing I need is to hear
Your whisper in the wind
The one thing I want is Your voice
That rises from within

I'll need to go home soon, to You
Won't wait for tomorrow, right now
For the one thing I need here and now
Is this haunting need for You
Is this haunting need for You
