Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Things once certain, I no longer trust
My sure foundations, have crumbled to dust
I would scale the highest height
Or search the depths to find
the path to innocence and wonder
I don't wanna lose my way
I don't wanna lose my faith
Revelation, great is your cost
Truth has been gained, but innocence lost
I would scale the highest height
Or search the depths to find
the path to innocence and wonder
I don't wanna lose my way
(It's a bitter fate, it's a heavy load, it's a mighty weight, it's a narrow road)
I don't wanna lose my faith
(It's a bitter fate, it's a heavy load, it's a mighty weight, it's a narrow road)
Narrow the road, small is the gate, it's getting harder to find, harder to find
Mighty the load heavy the weight, still i'm walking the line, holding the line
Gone is the sun into the night, it's getting harder to see, harder to see
Many the rules wrong from the right, they're getting harder to keep, harder to keep
Oh, how I've realized, all that I've compromised, I'm living in disguise.
