Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The sun was setting over Avalon
The last time we stood in the West
Sufferin' long time angel enraptured like Blake
Burn out the dross, innocence captured again
[Verse 2]
Standin' on the beach at sunset
And all the boats keep movin' slow
In the glory of the flashin' light
In the evening's glow
[Verse 3]
When will I ever learn to live in God?
When will I ever learn?
He gives me everything I need and more
When will I ever learn?
[Verse 4]
You brought it to my attention
That everything was made in God
Down through centuries of great writings and paintings
Everything was in God
[Verse 5]
Seen through architecture of great cathedrals
Down through the history of time
Is and was in the beginning
And evermore shall ever be
[Verse 6]
When will I ever learn to live in God?
When will I ever learn?
He gives me everything I need and more
When will I ever learn?
[Verse 7]
Whatever it takes him to fulfill his mission
That is the way we must go
But you got to do it in your own way
Tear down the old, bring up the new
[Verse 8]
And up on the hillside, it's quiet
Where the shepherd is tending his sheep
And over the mountains and the valleys
And the countryside is so green
[Verse 9]
Standin' on the highest hill with a sense of wonder
You can see that everything is made in God
Head back down the roadside
And give thanks for it all
[Verse 10]
When will I ever learn to live in God?
When will I ever learn?
He gives me everything I need and more
When will I ever learn?
[Verse 11]
When will I ever learn to live in God?
When will I ever learn?
He gives me everything I need and more
When will I ever learn?
[Verse 12]
When will I ever learn to live in God?
When will I ever learn?
He gives me everything I need and more
When will I ever learn?
