Come Away

Lyrics

Come away, come away Into quiet and trust, come away Come away, come away In repentance and rest, come away For the heavens are telling the glory of God The works of His hands teach His ways The night reveals knowledge we must understand His invisible nature is explained through the day Come away, come away Come away, come away The rhythm of the city An emotionless machine Manufacturing reality Shiny but unclean Built on sand and fantasy A mirror of mirage Reflected by the silver screen The chrome in the garage Vision blocked by concrete Calloused hearts encased Deafened by the drumbeat Tongues too seared to taste Masked by thrum of engines And the chatter of the screen The still small voice is buried The footpath isn't seen Images and idols Technologically devised Words of cotton candy That dissolve before your eyes Intellect and science Worshipped by decree Giving credit to illusion So the chained believe they're free Fundamental skeletons In self-appointed roles Clothed in robes of office But carnivorous of soul Speaking words that come from knowledge But do not come from light Letter lacking Spirit Adding darkness to the night
