SANCTUARY LAND

Speak softly child this is no place for fears

Say a prayer before we go

And maybe God will hear

Into the distance a dream besieged by light

Cast among these bitter thorns

We drift into the night

​

There is no sanctuary

There is no sanctuary land

This is no sanctuary

This is no sanctuary land

​

Stirring in shadows we anticipate the dawn

Echos of promises

I made to carry on

Into the darkness scattered memories remain

Faith not forgotten

Eyes closed against the rain

​

There is no sanctuary

There is no sanctuary land

This is no sanctuary

The price paid by a blind man with heavy hands

​

So dry your tears and know my child

That even in this darkness you will never walk alone

And someday soon

So far from here beyond the pain

And troubled tears this road we've found

Will finally lead us home

I don't know just where or when

God speed my child till then

​

There is no sanctuary

There is no sanctuary land

This is no sanctuary

The price paid by a blind man for living life with heavy hands

​

There is no sanctuary

There is no sanctuary land

Here lies the cross I carry

The penance paid by a rich man for a fairytale

Of a promised land
