Lyrics Among the Stars - Nine Lashes

Among the Stars

There’s a weight no man can bear
There’s a trouble in my heart
There’s a pressure coming down on us
That lives beneath the stars
But there’s a way out of the woods
For just a simple man
Forgiven
We could break our backs alone
We could labor in the sun
If we build our towers high enough
We could live among the stars
But there’s a resting we won’t know
For the heart will still be
Unforgiven
And all along
You are standing by our side
We carry on, running farther
We’re all alone
Or so we tell ourselves at night
But deep down we know
That you are home
You are home
You are home
We are the dust
In this dirty little world
We are the rust in this machine
That’s coming down
And in the darkness of the clouds
We’re hiding from the sun
If only we could find it in our hearts
To be forgiven
And all along
You are standing by our side
We carry on, running farther
We’re all alone
Or so we tell ourselves at night
But deep down we know
That you are home
You are home
We’re all losing sight of
The weight of our fall
Running blind to die from
These hands of our own
I need you to find me
Wherever you are
I need you to
Light my way home
All along
You are standing by our side
We carry on, running farther
We’re all alone
Or so we tell ourselves at night
But deep down we know
That you are home
And all along
You are standing by our side
We carry on, running farther
We’re not alone
You are with us in the night
And deep down we know
That we are home
We are home
You’ve found me where I lie
Set wrongs of mine to right
And I can sleep at night
'Cause all has been forgiven
My heart has made its home
With Christ and Christ alone
Christ alone
