lyrics

I'm just trying to make the noise stop
Drown the sound with a non-stop speakerbox
Nervous - like a first date, knees will knock
Desperate - like an author who needs a plot

This running away I know it needs to stop
The pressure's rising and I'm feeling hot
I yearn for the days of the fresh wind
Lord, I need some refreshing!

But when the days get darker & the times are trying
I say I'm strong enough I know I'm lying
You say, here's some space you need
A safe place and my grace to be

It's clear to me, I am breaking free
When I take the gift that was paid for me
There are moments in time where I'm allowed to transcend
And true peace coming around the bend


Oh, when I get home
I’m gonna lay my burdens down
Oh, when I get home
We’re gonna sing sweet harmony
Oh, when I get home
I’m gonna rest my weary soul
Oh, when I get home


Lift my eyes to the sunny sky
Horizon that speaks to the day's end
Keep waiting; this jam won't stop
We got a lot of time for celebration

Of making it through the hard days
Where our spirits seemed to part ways
Walking blind, as in a dark maze
We made it through now’s our time to party

So settle in at my spot feel the
Cool breeze swaying the tall trees
All these and more have been given
For fighting the good fight and living

In the truth that I am forgiven
Inspired with words to keep driven
To find that peace when I retire
And the rest that I hope to acquire

Oh, when I get home…

Let the singers sing
Let the players play
Let the hands clap
We'll do it all day
Let the singers sing
Let the players play
Let the hands clap
We'll praise You all day
