lyrics

Peter fell asleep in the garden
Moses never walked the Promised Land
Noah watched the world sink, punched the clock, had a drink
I am not the first broken man
I talk a fair game of love
Humility, selflessness and grace
But all of this thinking and feeling
Has left me in the same place

As I was in the days that they said, "You act old for your age."
I had not yet grown into my heart, into my soul.

I invited my demons for dinner
They persuaded me to let them stay the night
I'm too afraid to offend them
Kicking them out doesn't feel right
I want to teach them some manners
But they know that I'm hardly so kind
They laugh, they ask where is my backbone
But I'm still growing in to my spine

The world changed my heart in the soft, violent midnight cold
The things that I saw, no one else may ever know
I was growing in to my heart, to my soul.

I'm still growing in to my heart, in to my soul
For love alone can stand by the dark it holds.
