Nine Lashes - Among the Stars lyrics

{Verse 1} There's a weight no man can bear There's a trouble in my heart There's a pressure coming down on us That lives beneath the stars {Bridge A} But there's a way out of the woods For just a simple man Forgiven {Pre-Chorus A} We could break our backs alone We could labor in the sun If we build our towers high enough We could live among the stars But there's a resting we won't know For the heart will still be Unforgiven {Chorus} And all along You are standing by our side Wе carry on, running farther We're all alonе Or so we tell ourselves at night But deep down we know That you are home You are home (x2) {Verse 2} We are the dust In this dirty little world We are the rust in this machine That's coming down {Pre-Chorus B} And in the darkness of the clouds We're hiding from the sun If only we could find it in our hearts To be forgiven {Chorus} And all along You are standing by our side We carry on, running farther We're all alone Or so we tell ourselves at night But deep down we know That you are home You are home {Bridge B} We're all losing sight of The weight of our fall Running blind to die from These hands of our own I need you to find me Wherever you are I need you to Light my way home {Chorus} All along You are standing by our side We carry on, running farther We're all alone Or so we tell ourselves at night But deep down we know That you are home {Altered Chorus} And all along You are standing by our side We carry on, running farther We're not alone You are with us in the night And deep down we know That we are home We are home {Outro} You've found me where I lie Set wrongs of mine to right And I can sleep at night 'Cause all has been forgiven My heart has made its home With Christ and Christ alone Christ alone
