Till the end

Chris Thompson


Didn't we have a lot of fun 
From the shadows to the evening sun 
Coming down heavy coming down at last 
thousands of pictures calling me from the past 
Feels so heavy at the bottom of the glass 
It came to easy and we blew it too fast 

With riches from our kingdom 
we can run all night 
With power as our expression we can fight 
Outside the gates of wisdom 
The truth we spend 
We sing our songs of love and hope 'till the end 

From a whisper to a silent scream 
From the scriptures to a broken dream 
Coming down heavy coming down still 
Gone from the crossroads to the bottom of the well 
Feels so heavy gone on too long 
No one can help you when you can't see right from wrong 

With riches from our kingdom 
we can run all night 
With power as our expression we can fight 
Outside the gates of wisdom 
The truth we spend 
We sing our songs of freedom 'till the end 

We live in hope in hope we share 
The hope in every childhood prayer 
from hand to mouth and friend to friend 
We built our strength before the fall 
Now fear makes cowards of us all 
our prayers unanswered in the end 

With riches from our kingdom 
we can run all night 
With power as our expression we can fight 
Outside the gates of wisdom 
The truth we spend 
We sing our songs of freedom 'till the end
