Walk the Line

Verse 1:
Give me a 3-line to cut these fears,
time wearing down, after these tears,
pick up momentum, run through the crowd,
inner ear pounds, its growing so loud.
My blade dripping sweat, hands fighting to grip
..been jostling so long against this nip
..one
sober taste
laying in wait
for the censor
ode to adventure

dim revolt, put change out
turn off the lights
so while it's still night and cameras are on…I'll walk on
[I'll walk on]

Chorus:
Don't be afraid, I am with you
Don't be discouraged, I am your God
to help you up, strengthen you
Hold you up with my righteous hands

Verse 2:
silent sickness
drenched in wine
blind irreverence
walk the line
leaving trails of forgiven scents
the thickening musk of death ascends
to color the end and mark the path
circles right back to start

injured, limping
cheers and slights
both we fight, rejecting flight
for sight beheld
stories take,
they tell…they end

walk the line…
3-lines do bend
[3 lines do bend]

Chorus:
Don't be afraid, I am with you
Don't be discouraged, I am your God
to help you up, strengthen you
Hold you up with my righteous hands

Bridge:
Deliver me,
increase my infantry...
focus, aim, emblazon
season me in fire...
on the war plays..
but grace engages,
..and He says…

Chorus:
Don't be afraid, I am with you
Don't be discouraged, I am your God
to help you up, strengthen you
Hold you up with my righteous hands

Bridge 2:
I am here [I am here]
I am here [I am here for you]
I am here [here]
I am here [for you]
I am here
