Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
There are days when I feel like runnin'
Already down, but the hits keep comin'
I reach out; will You reach back at me?
I fall down; will You come and catch me?
Is there an end to the line I'm walkin' on?
How long? How long?
Will You stand with me forever, through a distance we can't measure?
How long? How long?
'Til the sun burns out and the wind stops
'Til the world quits spinnin' and the lights go off?
Ohh, and the lights go off
Ohh
I never really trusted 'til I trusted You (yeah)
I never saw the truth until I saw what's true ('til I saw You)
I reach out and You reach back at me
I fall down and You're right there to catch me
There's no end to the line I'm walkin' on, ohh
How long? How long?
Will You stand with me forever, through a distance we can't measure?
How long? How long?
'Til the sun burns out and the wind stops?
'Til the world quits spinnin' and the lights go off?
Ohh, and the lights go off
Ohh, and the lights go off
Ohh, and the lights go off
Ohh
We are souls beyond the grave, keepin' light that never fades
Though it's hard, we hold on
We are souls beyond the grave, keepin' light that never fades
Though it's hard, we hold on
How long? How long?
Will You stand with me forever, through a distance we can't measure?
How long? How long?
'Til the sun burns out and the wind stops?
'Til the world quits spinnin' and the lights go off?
