Eli Nathan - Challenges lyrics

It's a long way from California to the Western Wall And not just in miles, my friend It's a long way from the freeway to the streets of cobblestone Takes a while, my friend Chorus: We strive to rise above the earth and the raging sea Try to soar above the clouds and touch eternity And the wind that gently lifts us is there for us to know That the challenges that cross our path are there for us to grow It's along way from the earth to the heavens high above You need more than wings to reach the stars It's a long way from those that say that life is but a dream And there's nothing over yonder but the hills It's a long way from the nowhere to where you want to be Hold on tight and don't let go the day will come you'll see That the wind that gently lifts us is there for us to know That the challenges that cross our path are here for us to grow It's not so far from a longing heart to the truth that lies within 'Cuz the love runs deep, oh you'll find it in the end Like a lighthouse sends a beacon to a sailor lost at sea The rays of light call out and say, "Come on home to Me" Chorus: We strive to rise above the earth and the raging sea Try to soar above the clouds and touch eternity And the wind that gently lifts us is there for us to know That the challenges that cross our path are there for us to grow Like a lighthouse sends a beacon to a sailor lost at sea The rays of light call out and say, "Come on home to Me" 'Cuz every moment's an eternal memory
