Go on and watch the horizon reeling in
You're free now to open every forbidden door
Or let a thunderstorm chase you all the way back east
But don't ever think I won't love you anymore
And I pray for lights at the ends of tunnels
And I pray for rivers flowing in the desert
Wherever life is leading, don't stop believing that
You are loved...and forgiven
Ancestors who fought to make it but never did
Fathers, sons, old grudges rolling down the years
Still, it's not in your nature to ever settle a score
I'm guessin' it was just a good night for gettin' out of here
Look for the broken cross
In your shattered rearview mirror
Is that the face you've lost getting nearer?
becoming clearer?
And I don't believe in cheap grace or easy streets
This world needs to break our hearts and our innocence
But maybe that hard rain will drive you all the way home
Save you from drowning in your last defense
