Half step down

Verse 1

We are slaves to these age-old afflictions

Fighting for control 'till we fell too far

Pursue desire, ignore our convictions

Only wretched souls beneath the weeping stars

Pre-chorus 1

We are calling out in the thick of the war

I am standing down to fight for something more

Would we cease these battles, let this love resound

Still too hard to find our common ground

Chorus

There's a fire that stays bold and courageous

There's a light to light the way

There's a fire that stays bold and courageous

There's a light to light the way

Verse 2

And we try so hard to heal our diseases

We break to pieces when our hope has failed

Some will live or die without a reason

Such are the seasons, still our faith prevails

Pre-chorus 2

We are lost and found and beg to be restored

We keep falling down, harder than before

But love will find a way to give us strength to carry on

Sorrow for now, but someday soon be gone

Chorus

Verse 3

So we come and go, it's still a mystery

And we'll be history long before we find

All the secrets since now and forever

We hope for better on the other side

Bridge

God, hear the cries of your people! (x4)

Chorus
