Tug of War

from Come Into Gone by Daniel Isaiah

/

lyrics

I tipped my hat to the Absolute
And dusted off my dusty suit
I wrestled an angel in the sand
I dreamed I saw the promised land
And that I stepped into it through an open door

Tug of War

I let God in and I kicked him out
Yes I had faith enough to doubt
Thy kingdom come, thy kingdom go
Broken armies all in a row
I close my eyes to see Him but I don’t see anything

I hear the war

I got tripped up in the tug of war
Between the ocean line and the shore
Didn’t wanna fight, but here I am
Held on a little too tight 

Pulled me into the blinding light
Now I’ll never find my way back home

I came to tell the boys and girls
Who cut their teeth on the invisible world
Remember what you forget
Don't stare too long at the sun or death
You know there’s no returning through that open door

Tug of war

The simpler the better. ... more
