Horizon
38-th Parallel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another blink of the eye of time
I am straining through the blackness
Ever searching for a sign
The days grow long and the days grow dark
And the days grow ever colder
The trust that I started with fades as I get older
It seems to me there is no way around this
From all you've done for me
I know you'll never break your promise
So here at the end of this day
Where the world is shaded in gray
I will look to the blue horizons and watch for you to come
When my hope is tattered and torn
When my faith is weathered and worn
I'll look to the blue horizons
I am still walking, evading the shadows
I am still running that narrow line
I'll go wherever you would have me go
Ever searching for a sign
