Open Road
Sackcloth Fashion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Walk away walk away
Down to the groves
Add to the gradients
Un-number the rows
Simplify simplify simplify things
Talk when you talk
Look when you′re looking
And smile when you're reading
We now have completeness

Take a fair look at the lover you′ve wed
Are you trembling because of the actions you said
Moments pass quickly
They linger awhile
Changing takes bravery
The vulnerable kind
Take to the open road
Take to the open road
Take to the open road
Take fewer steps
But let them be deeper
And enjoy the depths
That are dismal to sleepers
Wake up oh dreamer
And pressure your dreams
As a welling completeness
Takes over
Take to the open road
Take to the open road
Take to the open road
Walk away walk away
Down to the groves
Add to the gradients
Un-number the rows
Simplify simplify simplify things
Talk when you talk
Look when you're looking
And smile when you're reading
We now have completeness
In Christ
Slow your role instead of going so
Incredibly ahead of where you were told
You think you′d rather go the way the others go
Cause it seems faster so you think your passing go
That you have to go you don′t have to go
Change is a hassle bro it's worth the hassle though
It′s what you need to do no need for speeding through
There is a scenic route that leads to peace and truth
So just ease into and he will see you through
Life isn't beating you you′re still breathing you
Your life has meaning true in Christ completing you
There is a healing for the broken soul when you
Take to the open road




Take to the open road
Take to the open road
