[Verse 1: Daniel Rossen]
You've fallen once, you'll fall again
And lean on
Your tired hands that crawl and grasp
The soft ground
[Pre-Chorus: Daniel Rossen]
By the look on your face
You set out on a path
Never to arrive
By the look on your face
The burden's on your back
And the sun is in your eyes
[Chorus: Daniel Rossen]
Stretched out, far and wide
The light that scorched the sand
So bright, so long
I'm never coming back
[Verse 2: Daniel Rossen & Ed Droste]
Every stone and every step (Every stone and every step)
I won't recall
Emptied of every thought (Emptied of every thought)
Just soft ground
[Pre-Chorus: Daniel Rossen]
By the look on your face
The burden's on your back
And the sun is in your eyes
Gone at last
[Chorus: Daniel Rossen]
Stretched out, far and wide
The light that scorched the sand
So bright, so long
I'm never coming back
[Bridge 1: Daniel Rossen]
It overflows, it overflows
It always runs
It overflows, it overflows
It always runs
Silver and silent
Endless abundance overflows
[Bridge 2: Daniel Rossen]
Silver and silent rushing on
Endless abundance overflows
Always surrounds you, always glows
[Pre-Chorus: Ed Droste]
Look on your face
Burden's on your back
Sun is in your eyes
[Chorus: Daniel Rossen & Ed Droste]
Stretched out, far and wide
The light that scorched the sand (Sun is in your eyes)
So bright, so long
I'm never coming back (Sun is in your eyes)
[Outro: Daniel Rossen]
So bright, so long
I'm never coming back
