Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
This is all so beautiful
But how much of this will really be
Enough to keep me on my feet
This is how it feels
When it's for real
But how much can be invisible
Enough for me to just believe
And I'm chasing the wind
And ending up right where I began
I know that there's an art to starting over again
Knowing God will never waste the pain
You can only try so hard to right a wrong
This song will only last so long
But life takes time so let it live along
I may never know
I should just let go
But do we really want a God that I can understand
Still I close my eyes
Try to reason why
But since when does my desire dominate the plan?
And I'm chasing the wind
And ending up right where I began
I know that there's an art to starting over again
And I know that God will never waste the pain
You can only try so hard to right a wrong
This song will only last so long
But life takes time so let it live along
When life is in slow motion
And when the silence is deafening
Hold on tight, you're gonna cry
But there's always a reason why
I know that there's an art to starting over again
And I know that God will never waste my pain
You can only try so hard to walk alone
This song will only last so long
But life is just the art of living on
It comes down to the art of living on
