lyrics

Narrow, a path to the light
The dark, a road that's broad and wide
Ill conquer them both with you by my side
I'll conquer them both with you by my side

Well walk this earth far and wide,
The journey not easy, no law to abide,
We can have anything if our hearts have desire,
Yes, we can take anything, and save from the fire.

And on this ground I stand with hope
That someday I'll see and I'll never revoke
My heart from the ground, from whence it came
Well see the light take the dark by its head, all the same

For on this ground I lift my eyes,
The dust that be over them shall never revive,
That stir in my heart, so easily dismayed,
I'll go step by step, and my soul will be saved.
I'll go step by step, and my soul will be saved.

And on this ground I stand with hope
That someday I'll see and I'll never revoke
My heart from the ground, from whence it came
Well see the light take the dark by its head, all the same

And I'll never resent that past of awe,
The path to destruction I walked in the fall.
If my eyes hadn't seen, or my ears never heard,
I'd speak not a single word.

For during that time of abandonment and stars,
My time of negligence, and my visits to bars,
Of lacking no items, but lacking my soul,
Til you found me there, and put down the stone
When you found me there, and you put down your stone.

And on this ground I stand with hope
That someday I'll see and I'll never revoke
My heart from the ground, from whence it came
Well see the light take the dark by its head, all the same

Well see the light take the dark by its head, all the same
Well see the light take the dark by its head, all the same
