Even Now

(album: Reconciled - 1986)

Chased, chased
Out into the woods
Footsteps close behind my back
I never knew how close I stood
Shame has brought me to my knees
Love protects the heart
Is it just as you please

Fights, fights
Up and down each shore
We may be outnumbered here
The lions start to roar
Cry, cry for all to hear
Cry, the world goes on
Would you lend me your ear for a moment
I still care
Even now

Chased, chased
By the angry mob
They're trying to steal my heart from me
Steal from me my love for God
Watch as stars fall from the sky
Wait until the oceans dry up but even then
I still feel loved
Even so, I feel cared for
Even now

So look in my eyes again
Do you recognize my face
One of despair again
Is it gone without a trace
I feel I'm alive again
Rescued from the void
Here I'm alone with you
Here I'm at home with you
Even now

Look, look
They're running close behind
Those you thought your enemies
Are friends now standing by your side
Fight for every step you take
Shaped by every lie you've ever heard

Pain, pain
The pain I've been forced to see
Blame, the blame belongs
To no one but me
But oh, I still care
Even so, I still feel loved
Even so, even here
Even now
Even now
Even now
Even now-a-ow
