Horizon Line (feat. George Glew)

I wish the world would stop moving,

Or I could awake to find it’s all been fake,

Like my name is Truman,

If none of this is true,

And it’s all an illusion,

Then we didn’t really lose you,

And I can move past the confusion,

I keep playing that acoustic,

Praying it through the music,

I could find a way to shake the sense,

That everything is useless.

They say that you get used to it,

But there’s a chair where you used to sit,

The silence in the air,

That only your voice could ever lift,

And every day’s like Everest,

‘Cos every steps another prayer asking heaven,

‘Why could you not wait a bit?’,

I’m trying to make sense of it,

But every attempt is derelict.

Thought it was answers I was asking for,

Until I saw you looked like Moses in that basket,

Drifting far from shore,

And saw that we’re all sons and daughters,

That will one day take the waters,

Drifting towards a kingdom,

So far from these earthly borders.

I’ve been trying to keep my eyes on the horizon line,

I’ve been trying to fight the darkness so a light can shine,

So a light can shine.

And the silence, it still tortures us,

From dawn to dusk,

I have fought the thought that God has forgotten us,

In the middle of the breaking,

In the middle of my fears,

My cries and all my whimpers,

Do not fall on deafened ears.

There’s a humming in the distance,

From a land I cannot see,

It blows on through the windows,

Like an old and welcome breeze,

And it remind me of a song,

The song I used to sing,

About a time my fear was gone,

When death had lost its sting,

And every good and perfect thing,

Is the foretaste of a feast,

That we will one day have together,

Awoken from my sleep,

And as we sit down to eat,

Our cries and desperate pleas,

We’ll be swallowed in the song,

The song of the redeemed.

I’ve been trying to keep my eyes on the horizon line,

I’ve been trying to fight the darkness so a light can shine,

So a light can shine.

I’ve been trying to keep my eyes on the horizon line,

I’ve been trying to fight the darkness so a light can shine,

So a light can shine.
