The embers flicker in the distance
As children play unaware
Silent enemies watch and listen quietly
To prepare the way for more despair
One more time down the slide
One more jump of the swings
I swear I won't let it take me
I swear I'll try hard to stay me
But the fire is falling fast
As my town turns to ash
Outside this chain link fence I've built
To preserve myself
Now I see the embers flash
As my city turns to ash
Now we can't escape this mess we've made
By running away
No one saw it as it came this way
It crept in and began to decay
In this city that has lost itself
And abandoned Your Name
And succumbed to the flames
One more time down the slide
One more jump of the swings
I swear I won't let it take me
I swear I'll try hard to stay me
But the fire is falling fast
As my town turns to ash
Outside this chain link fence I've built
To preserve myself
Now I see the embers flash
As my city turns to ash
Now we can't escape this mess we've made
By running away
I lift my eyes up
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth
I lift my eyes up
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven
I see the Light bursting through the night
And I know, my Help is on the way
I see the sky open up and I
And I know, my Hope is on the way
My Help is on the way, my Hope is on the way
You are on Your way, You will save the day (this life)
You will save me
You will save me
