​burn the ships

Lyrics

[Intro: Luke & Joel Smallbone] (Ooh-ooh-ooh) (Ooh-ooh) [Verse 1: Luke Smallbone] How did we get here? We're cast away on a lonely shore I can see in your eyes, dear It's hard to take for a moment more We've got to [Pre-Chorus: Joel Smallbone] Burn the ships, cut the ties Send a flare into the night Say a prayer, turn the tide Dry your tears and wave goodbye [Chorus: Luke & Joel Smallbone] Step into a new day We can rise up from the dust and walk away We can dance upon the heartache, yeah So light a match, leave the past, burn the ships And don't you look back [Verse 2: Luke & Joel Smallbone] Don't let it arrest you This fear, this fear of fallin' again And if you need a refuge I will be right here until the end Oh, it's time to [Pre-Chorus: Joel & Luke Smallbone] Burn the ships, cut the ties Send a flare into the night Say a prayer, turn the tide Dry your tears and wave goodbye [Chorus: Luke & Joel Smallbone] Step into a new day We can rise up from the dust and walk away We can dance upon the heartache, yeah So light a match, leave the past, burn the ships And don't you look back [Bridge: Joel Smallbone, Joel & Luke Smallbone] So long to shame, walk through the sorrow Out of the fire into tomorrow So flush the pills, face the fear Feel the weight disappear We're comin' clean, we're born again Our hopeful lungs can breathe again Oh, we can breathe again [Chorus: Luke & Joel Smallbone] Step into a new day We can rise up from the dust and walk away We can dance upon the heartache, yeah So light a match, leave the past, burn the ships Step into a new day We can rise up from the dust and walk away We can dance upon our heartache, yeah So light a match, leave the past, burn the ships And don't you look back [Outro: Luke Smallbone] And don't you look back And don't you look back
