Sidewalk Prophets - Closer lyrics

I've been tired and weary Heading back home Never thought it'd be so hard Walking the narrow road Through all the toils and trials Lord You never left me So I'm finally closer, closer To where I wanna be A man's got a worth But the problem has been I spent my whole life working Instead of taking Your hand Lord won't You burn away All that keeps You from me I want You here closer, closer Than anything So take me to the center of the fire Take me to the middle of the sea Take me through the darkest of nights You can be the lamp to my feet Walk me over mountains and valleys 'till I'm only hanging by Your prayer If it brings me closer, closer You can take me anywhere What I know about fire You use it to refine my heart What I know about the ocean When You tell it to part it parts Even though the darkest of nights It draws me to my knees And it brings me closer, closer When I hear You speak So take me to the center of the fire Take me to the middle of the sea Take me through the darkest of nights You can be the lamp to my feet Walk me over mountains and valleys 'till I'm only hanging by Your prayer If it brings me closer, closer You can take me anywhere There once lived a man Who loved his enemies The whole world mocked and laughed 'cause of what they couldn't see He was ... On the truth that sets us free He said the poor shall be blessed And that's what I wanna be Take me to the center of the fire Take me to the middle of the sea Take me through the darkest of nights You can be the lamp to my feet Walk me over mountains and valleys 'till I'm only hanging by Your prayer If it brings me closer, closer You can take me anywhere Blessed are the broken Blessed are the weak Blessed are the hungry and thirsty Blessed are those that seek Blessed are the lonely For they will have a love to spare Blessed are the poor in spirit Lord Your kingdom is there If it brings me closer, closer Take me anywhere Wanna be closer Gotta be closer We want You closer Lord We need You closer, closer Lord We want You closer Lord How we need You closer, closer Lord We want You closer We need You closer Bring us closer, closer Lord We want you closer We need You closer Lord bring us closer, closer Lord Bring us closer Bring us closer Bring us closer, closer than we'll ever be Bring us here closer, closer, closer We need You, Lord we need You Yeah we need You hear closer, closer We want You hear closer, closer Bring us closer, closer Bring us closer, Lord Bring us closer Bring us closer Closer, closer, closer, closer Beyond the fear that follows near Till thorn through darkness that appears Like sun and moon and sands of time Something different starts to shine A flash of faith within the soul Like little hands it digs a hole Not to bury but to bring new life New breath, new song to sing Fast to find it forever know To glimps to grasp to change and grow This moment does not linger long Before tomorrow breaks the dawn The gold will fade and ambers die Something different will arise
